There are plenty of things that you can do to make your home stand out from the rest. You can clean up, declutter, and add unique furnishings. All these are obvious things that you need to do but have you thought of other techniques to shatter stereotyping for your home?

Check out these cool ways to make your home the newest enviable structure on your block –

A High-Gloss Door

If you want the dining room to become extra glamorous, then be ready to create changes. Many people think of candlelit dinners when an evening space is designed as posh. Have a custom high-gloss plum dining door installed. Don’t be boring, be bold.

Fuse Clashing Hues

There are many vivid colors to choose from. Combine the most exciting colors with unique patterns and what you achieve is a customized, bold statement for your home. Use fabric on walls, silk shade to lamps, even a leather door. Have your floor custom-painted. The sky’s the limit when it comes to using colors that seemingly compete.

Artsy Bed

Do not be afraid to use a huge bed inside a small bedroom. Just make sure that the piece you purchase is an open and airy one. This is so you won’t feel claustrophobic. Memorize the rule of thumb which is to have the top at no less than six inches from the ceiling.

To add impact, be sure to use dark wallpaper. If you want to highlight the new bed, though, then it would be best to use white walls.

A Grand Chair          

Dramatize a chair by placing it in a way that it is the first thing that you will see once you enter the room. Provide an equally grand pair for it such as an interesting urn or a large vase. Pairing great looking pieces will also help the guests make sense of your design agenda. Use a chair in the same color palette as your current furniture so that it will be look at home.

The Peculiar Statue

Find a statue that’s less ceremonial than a bust and wittier than the common horse head. Have this statute show a bit of human anatomy and or any eye-catching feature. Make sure to place this piece in the most conspicuous spot such as the entryway or a living room side table.

If you’re conscious about this effort, then have a smaller version work as a bookend in one of your shelves.

A Unique Table Lamp

A task lamp isn’t just for task lighting. Make it a point to use a modern task light right on the side table by the corner. An arched lamp up above will surely be the sleek piece to a gold backdrop. Switch it on and you’d see how it will cast a romantic glow.

The Graphic Rug

What could be more non-stereotypical than a bold-patterned rug? Make this the surprise focal point in a room where the common central pieces are the furniture. If not, the rug can also be a great design element unifier so allow it to do its job.

Don’t worry about pattern overload, allow a solid coffee table to solve this issue for you.

The Modern Chandelier

The high-gloss door isn’t the end to something that’s shimmering. Adding the contemporary vibe of a chandelier will also make the dining room a must-see place. This is the kind of lighting that works best with dark frames and dark furnishings.

The glass element on the dining table echoes the bulbs and glimmering crystals of the chandelier up above.

It’s time to break away from what’s common. Use a thing or two from this list to make your home exceptional.
