Hello World! Welcome Friends! Summer is a great time to clear out and touch up your abode. But perhaps you want to level up your house this time. Are there projects you would like to tackle in the home? Do you want to paint your fireplace or maybe give your entire home a fresh coat of paint? Here are some pro tips for a more sophisticated home decor style.
Get Rid of Anything Cute or Gimmicky
You might have spent a lifetime collecting things you think are cute or novel. Dolls, promotional products, and branded items are good examples. But almost always, these items have no place in the chic scheme of things. Just take a look at the way professionals design luxury apartments. Neither a single item out of place nor a gaudy novelty lamp to be found. If you are looking for elegance and style, then you need to change the things that appeal to you. Swap out your doll collection for something natural, such as minerals or crystals. But use them sparingly.
Style Any Nooks and Shelving
Your house has a ton of open space. And it can all be used very effectively. Excellent focus areas include nooks, bookcases, and even a fireplace that is open. But you need to style them appropriately. Put logs in your fireplace, for instance, and consider hanging fire pokers on the side and organize your books with randomly positioned, elegant, rusty items in between. You can also include ceramic vases, jars, or flower pots which you can easily find at atelierforma.ca. If you need inspiration for shelving, stick to the rule of odd numbers and avoid arranging symmetrically. Things that are asymmetrical just catch the attention more, like odd numbers.
Go Green for Sophisticated Home Decor
Bringing the outdoors inside is a great way to brighten your home and feel closer to nature. But it can go wrong because of the vast number of colors. Therefore, a better way to do it is to stick to greenery. By working only with shades of green, you adhere to a theme. However, green is also a color that matches well with all kinds of other shades and hues. So you can use plants like rubber trees, dragon trees, and ficus’ in almost any room. Especially rooms where you want to emphasize nature, such as your home spa, bathroom, or for a light and airy bedroom.
Maximize Your Use of Natural Light
Changing your home to include more natural light is always a good idea. And it just makes everything look better. Additionally, you can add some value to your home’s asking price if you are decorating with a sale in mind. But getting more light into your home isn’t always straightforward. Structural elements, your home’s facing, and the size of the windows all play a crucial role. Therefore, it might be a better idea to renovate with an open plan, install skylights or even add full-panel windows and doors to a room. However, you can also use large mirrors.
Hang Curtains High and Long
Manor houses and luxury apartments alike have some things in common. They just look amazing. And they look great because the expert designers know how to use a room to their own advantage. One of the most common tricks is to hang curtains higher and longer than the windows. And never, ever, at the bottom of the window height. Longer curtains will make a room look far bigger than what it really is, and well-made ones add a touch of class anyway. Try spending a little more than you usually would, and the difference is mind-blowing.
Summary
It can be a little tricky trying to adapt a more sophisticated home decor style. However, you can try removing clutter and novelty items, adding more green plants, and hanging curtains higher.
