Hello World! Welcome Friends! The decor you choose for your home is so important- you want to feel happy and comfortable when you’re spending time in your space but it should also tell a story of who you are. Our homes are so personal, and should be beautifully curated places that reflect our past, our personality and our likes. Basing our decor on a theme can be helpful, that way when you’re buying items from different places you know that it will all come together and give you a cohesive look, and the theme can be whatever you like. Maybe you’ve moved to a new place and are decorating from scratch or just fancy a change- either way, here are some to consider.
Old Fashioned Charm
Old fashioned doesn’t have to mean frumpy, you can totally embrace classic styles in a sophisticated and well thought out way. Think deep colors like burgundy and gold, and vintage furniture with fancy details. Add in some antique pieces or good quality replicas to make your space feel classy- the best thing is lots of people sell these cheaply or give them away for free. A little bit of upcycling and you might find your perfect furniture on a shoestring budget. Go with fancy lights and molding on the walls like coving and ceiling roses that can complete the look, making your home feel elegant and timeless.
Nature Inspired
Nature inspired decor brings a bit of the outdoors inside, and is a great choice if you want a home that promotes good mental health. That’s because natural materials, lighting and colours all give our brain’s a boost. Use earthy colors and materials like wood, wicker, jute and stone. Let in lots of natural light and put plenty of plants around to make it feel like you’re outside. This theme makes your home a calm and peaceful place.
Simple and Modern
If you like things simple and neat, modern minimalism is the way to go. Choose furniture with clean lines and colors like white, grey, and black. Keep things tidy with smart storage solutions. Pick art and decorations that are simple but stand out- plants are an unfussy way to add colour and texture without spoiling the monochrome look. This theme creates a calm and modern vibe in your home.
Cultural Mix
If your family comes from a different part of the world, or you just love a specific destination that you’ve visited you could consider bringing elements from your culture into your home. For example, you can create a Chinese-inspired decor by using traditional paintings, bamboo furniture, and vibrant red and gold colors. This not only reflects your personal style but also honors a rich cultural history. Similarly, for a Mexican Fiesta theme, use bold colors like terracotta, cobalt blue, and vibrant yellow. Incorporate some Mexican Saltillo tile floors, folk art, and colorful textiles to bring a festive spirit into your home. If you’re drawn to the vibrancy of India, go for intricate paisley and henna-inspired designs. Use rich, jewel-toned colors like deep reds and purples, and decorate with traditional Indian textiles like saris and dhurrie rugs. These themes allow you to create a unique blend of cultural elements that resonate with your heritage.
Beach Theme
If you’re a beach lover or maybe your home is located close to the beach, how about creating a nautical or beach theme using soothing blues, sandy neutrals, and beach inspired decor like seashells and driftwood. Again plenty of plants and nice light colours on the walls will be a fantastic backdrop for this theme and give your home a light, bright and airy feel.
Industrial
This theme suits some homes more than others, for example cool modern apartments in cities are a great fit. They need quite a stark, minimalist look to work so if you prefer a home that’s full of knick knacks and home comforts, and also struggle with keeping the spaces very tidy then it’s probably not for you. But for a more modern and edgy look, an Industrial Vibes theme might be the way to go. Use raw materials like metal and concrete, expose brick walls, and choose minimalist furniture for a super contemporary feel.
Shabby Chic
If you love a cosy, vintage atmosphere, consider a Shabby Chic Charm theme. This is an eclectic mix of pretty pastels, ditsy florals, wicker baskets, bunting and so much more. It’s an incredibly girly and feminine theme, and gives a soft and comfortable finish to the rooms. If this is sounds like your kind of vibe then this is a theme to consider!
