When you decide to change your home interior style, you may have ideas about some of the changes you
want to make. Due to the lockdowns brought upon by the Corona virus pandemic,
we have a lot of time to plan home interior design changes carefully before taking any
steps. If in case you need some thoughts on how to get started, read these tips
first to learn what works best when it comes to interior design.
Choosing the right furniture
Before replacing your old furniture, take time to
carefully think about your wall paint colors, either you repaint it or just
install DIY wallpaper. Then, evaluate your furniture if it will complement the
accent shades you want to achieve. If you think you need to replace them, auction
your old furniture so you will have enough funds to buy a new one. Common mistakes include adding bulky armchairs or
sofas with decorative patterns, textures or colors that detract from the rest
of the room. Another mistake is to grab an antique piece and put it in the same
conversation area as modern furniture. You don't need to get rid of your
favorite antique furniture, but give it its own space in a separate area. The
main furniture of the room should always complement the design style of the
room.
Give
attention to lighting
Light
affects the mood. Choose the right light fixtures that can provide general
ambient indoor lighting. As we all know lightings can affect the feel of the
room too. So, carefully choose the right sizes, colors and design elements as well.
An example is the use of upward lighting. By placing sconces high on the wall
and directing the light upwards, the ceiling will appear taller. Mix and match
different types of lighting until you get the ambience you want.
Assign
seating areas
Creating
seating areas in the living room, dens, study and bedroom make these rooms feel
comfortable and warm. Arrange seats toward the center or slightly to one side,
avoid pushing the seat against the wall except in small rooms where it is impractical to place furniture anywhere but against a wall.
Create
Seamless Transitions
The overall style of your home should work in
harmony. Though you can create each room to have its own appeal and atmosphere,
make sure to make seamless transitions between rooms by using similar design
features, patterns or color palettes.
Minimalist is the new norm
Fill each room only with things that serve a purpose. Less clutter, simple yet
elegant. Cut down on your collection of statues and small objects to avoid
making the space seem too busy. Instead, just choose a few items to display and
store others in cupboards or create a separate room to exhibit your collections.
Don’t Overdo a Theme
Stick on your chosen theme, donot over-decorate. In interior design, a little often goes a long way. Often,
subtle trims feel more elegant, and you're less likely to tire of the design
any time soon.
No
matter which style you choose, an effective approach in interior design comes
down to mixing the right textures, colors, and patterns to enhance the space
and create the desired ambience. Keep this in mind as you make changes, and
take breaks to take a step back and evaluate the process.
