Hello World! Welcome Friends! Lockdown was tough for many people.
But with more hours spent at home, the one thing it did do was give people the chance to think about redecorating where they live.
With people being forced for months on end, to stay at, and work from home, many began to conceptualize how best to put their own design stamp on their properties. Recognizing the need to create a cozy, yet homely environment that was functional enough to live and work in.
However, when it comes to redecoration, striking that balance between good aesthetics, comfort and functionality does not come easily to some people.
No matter how much they fork out on furniture, or what latest design fads they incorporate from TV and magazines, they still feel that their rooms lack a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’.
If you find yourself in this situation, thankfully there are a few simple, and relatively inexpensive tips and tricks, that you can do to bring style into your home.
In this guide we will go through a selection of them. So please keep reading until the end, to see how you can give your home the ‘wow’ factor you are looking for.
Style Tips For Your Home
Most of the style tips outlined below will only take a short amount of time to complete. However they will make a noticeable difference to the presentation of your home.
1. Good Design Starts at Your Front Door
First impressions count. So your first step towards increased style should be to spruce up your front door.
Even if you live in a block of flats or apartments you should not overlook this detail.
Give your front door and or/rendering a fresh lick of paint. Add a new modern sign to denote your house number. Fix a nice lamp to it, or add some potted plants and a welcome mat.
All these touches not only create an impressive visual, they will also give you a real sense of pride every time you return home from work or an outing.
2. Showcase Your Hobbies
A great way to really stamp your personality on your home is to showcase your hobbies through its decor.
If you love travel, hang artwork that portrays one of the destinations you have been to. Place souvenirs you have collected from around the world, randomly on tables and shelves, as well as books about places you have have visited.
Not only will this add a lot of character to your home, they will bring back some treasured memories and even act as conversation starters for when friends come over. For those who enjoy expressing their creativity, consider incorporating personalized paint by number kits into your decor. These kits not only add a unique touch to your space but also provide a fun and relaxing activity for you to enjoy.
3. Add Flowers and Plants
Flowers and plants are a fantastic way to introduce further color and vibrancy into your home.
If you can, it is good idea to have different sizes of plants in each room. Ranging from tall plants that you could put next to larger pieces of furniture like a sofa, to smaller potted versions that can sit on side tables, or next to the TV cabinet.
Fresh flowers always look good too on a kitchen bench, or coffee table, adding a lovely smell to the room as well.
Whatever plants and flowers you decide to bring in to your home, just be sure to give them all of the water and light they need to survive.
4. Have Plenty of Books on Display
Whether it be on shelving or the coffee table books add immediate style to any home. As mentioned previously they also enable you to inject more of your personality into your home decor.
When arranging books, think about stacking them in an alternate way in a book case, with some facing horizontally and others vertical. This makes for a much more striking and intriguing visual and also allows you to add additional objects into the mix.
For your coffee table be sure to arrange three different sizes of books in a pile, alongside other nik naks and decorative objects.
5. Keep Throws or Blankets and Cushions on the Sofa
A lovely little design tip to add an instant pop of color to a room is to drape a blanket, or throw, over your sofas and armchairs.
This not only creates an impression of cosiness, and your home being ‘lived-in’, but it also transforms a potentially neutral color feature into something with a lot more personality.
The same goes for cushions too, just be sure there is balance in how you present them though.
6. Remember the Rule of Three
The rule of three is a popular concept in home decor and design, which often gets overlooked when it comes to styling your own property.
When objects are displayed in a batch of three they have a much more attractive look, and just seem that little bit more balanced as well.
This is especially true when the elements vary in terms of height, width and materials.
Begin by styling a corner table, or both sides of the television cabinet, and see how you go from there. Just be sure not to go overboard throughout the house. You can browse ArchiPro to find products to display in your home.
7. Less Is More
Always remember, when it comes to home decor, ‘less is more’.
It’s very easy to cram your house full of decorative items that soon get lost in a clutter.
So if you find yourself in a room that resembles a bric-a-brac store, why not turn it into somewhere you can mentally relax?
You can do this just by removing your rugs, pillows, artwork and decorative objects one at a time, until you are happy with the presentation.
This way you will eventually be left with a sleeker, less busy space where you will feel comfortable and at home in.
