If you’re already thinking that you need to sacrifice comfort in order to achieve a high sense of fashion, think again. Inviting furniture and plush carpeting aren’t the only elements that can turn your house into a warm, welcoming home.
Choose Welcoming Colors
Colors can link a lot of interior design elements. You can have an eclectic, traditional or a contemporary house but beauty of all these boils down to how intelligently you chose the color palette.
The leading color palettes at the moment include turquoise, yellow-green, and jade green. Of course, you can always use the color that makes your heart flutter or you can rely on the reliability of neutrals.
Neutral colors are not just welcoming, they are also the best backdrop for living rooms. Just imagine fusing delicious shades of brown with muted greens and reds. This mixture of colors is perfect for a calming yet still interesting atmosphere.
Mix and Match
Forget your styling inhibitions for now. Instead, mix and match colors, patterns, textures, and styles. Find out how contrast can help you create depth into your space. Just picture a living room in which everything is covered in the same material and color – none could be more visually boring, right?
Patterns, on the other hand, are your best friends when you want to mix and match. Combine prints that have a common hue or thread. This is so the room can still have cohesive appeal.
Adding texture, on the other hand, means you add visual weight to a room. Rough textures are weightier so they tend to look more comfortable than the sleek, smooth ones.
The refreshing punch of green is where the eyes are drawn to in this mainly neutral bedroom. Featured piece is the upcoming Hooker Furniture Bedroom Boheme Laurier Queen Panel Bed.
Invite Nature In
There are many simple ways that you can bring in the greeneries or Mother Nature to your home. You can always begin with shopping for water features such as an aquarium or a small fountain. Water fountains are relaxing to the senses plus they are wonderful accessories.
Add some freshly-cut flowers inside beautiful glass or ceramic vases. Just make sure to keep the greeneries fresh by changing the water daily.
Be An Artist
This is your domain so be proud of your artwork. Rather than have a house that’s full of white, blank walls, it would be better to have a bold statement piece right on one of these walls.
Your art piece – whether made by you or another artist – can reinforce the color scheme that you have chosen.
At times, adding a single artwork is the sole answer to your decorating problems, at times, it could mean creating a gallery of artworks to arrive at a common theme. If you choose to have just a single statement piece, then be sure to frame this with neutral elements.
Be able to coordinate the artworks on the nearby walls. Know which pictures go together by picking artworks that have similar color schemes. It would also be helpful to find paintings and other artworks that have a similar style or theme.
A black and white color fusion could also be the right palette to coordinate all artworks in a room.
Be Spontaneous
Spontaneity can create an immediate change in scenery. It also means being able to work with the materials that you have in hand. Or it could also mean buying the right sets of furniture after suffering through the pieces that don’t match.
While a great part of interior design is planning, this doesn’t mean that you let go of being spontaneous. Being the latter means picking the elements that matter from the thousands of parameters that are given to you.
Spontaneity means you can breathe life to your environment using your personality, emotions, and the materials that you’re given.
