Interior design is my passion. Although I'm not a professional designer, I've been helping out many friends with their homes and of course have been designing our previous and current house.
Unlocking the true beauty of your home and adding style to
each and every room is not always easy. Staying up with current interior design
trends can be a bit of a pain, but there are some tips that can really help you
out. If you want your home to look effortlessly stylish in a way that looks
cohesive, you have to add décor that makes sense. You don’t have to be a
professional interior designer to have a home that looks inviting and turns
heads.
Here are the best interior design tips that you have to
follow:
Focus on One Style
Although you do not want each and every room of your home to
look exactly the same, you do want all the rooms to complement each other. This
means that from the very beginning, it is critical that you choose a style
inspiration. This can be modern, Asian or any other style trend that you can
think of. It is a good idea to keep the space in mind when you are choosing the
right style. Be careful to determine the goal of your design. Are you looking
to make a tight space seem extended or are you trying to add coziness to a
large open space? Just be sure to evaluate each room before you choose a
specific style or look that you are shooting for.
Focal Point
Another interior design tip that can be incredibly helpful
involves selecting a decor item or furniture piece that is the focal point. You
need to choose a point of convergence in each room that not only adds visual
appeal, but also is the one item that everything else rotates around. In
essence you are choosing one style trend that highlights the entire room and
stands out. Only having one focal point in each room is key, because you do not
want your style to become too jumbled or overpowering.
Colors are Essential
Nothing can be more transformative to the overall design and
style of your home than the colors that you choose. You have to be careful to
not only choose the right colors for your walls, but also for your furniture.
Make sure that you have a shade plan in place before you begin purchasing décor
items. Neutrals can always be a safe option for your walls and you can add pops
of color to liven the space with ease. Shades that are too diverse can create a
style that simply does not work. Make sure that you choose colors that work
well together.
Add Texture
If you really want to take your style up a notch, you can
add some textures to your home. This means that you can install tiled
backsplash on your counters to add a new dimension of style or even opt for
wood flooring in your dining area. Adding different surfaces to different rooms
in your home creates a slightly different look that helps you achieve diverse
style. Always remember that all of your design choices should be more timeless
than trendy.
