Are you planning to change the décor of your home?
Changing the decor of your home doesn’t have to be an effort you face alone. All it requires is finding a little motivation. To bring your home decor ideas to life doesn’t mean you have to break your wallet or take a long time to finish either.
If your home is due for an upgrade but you have a restricted budget and even less time, then you’re in the right place. We have a list of home décor ideas to help you initiate.
There are multiple options – from something as simple as a colourful light bulb, an accent wall, or new throw pillow, your entire living space can feel new, on-trend, and advanced. You can attempt each of these decorating ideas in a single day, even though the results will look like it took way longer to do it.
Take a look at these ideas!
- A Separate Open Plan Room
Draw a sketch of the floor plan and choose how you want to use your space. Create specific zones for eating, working, socializing, and relaxing. Use superior pieces of furniture that can be used from both sides, to break up the room into separate spaces.
Arrange the furniture at right angles to the outer walls in order to part the room tidily.
- Mirrors as Embellishment
A simple and inexpensive way of decorating a place is to add mirrors.
They are enormously light on the wallet and all you have to do is just hang them at the right place. A mirror is a focal point in any space and it makes small spaces appear larger. If there is a limited natural light in a room, and you place a mirror across the window then it’s a great way of adding more light in the room.
You can even use it as a piece of art to fill up an empty wall. Geometric shaped mirrors are in trend these days; use them to decorate your walls.
- Make Your Entrance Interesting
The entryway of your house doesn’t have to be dull and dreary. Dapper it up with some imaginative pieces, like paintings or a fancy table which can be used to keep your keys. Put some pictures on a nearby wall in order to accomplish the gallery-style.
- Put Some Lighting in a Space
A row of lights above a dining table will help draw the eye and form an atmosphere. Ideally, the bottom of the shades should be around 90 cm above the table.
- Put Everything in an Organized Manner
You are so used to living in your house that you don’t understand the loads of stuff you make in each room. Take the time to go through each room and put everything in an organized manner.
Put some hooks for coats and scarves, and get a planner for stray shoes. Just cleaning up can show you just how much floor space you have, which you can use in your own way.
- Inspire from Nature
If you’re having a hard time finding motivation in decorating your house, then why not look to nature?
Beautiful shades of wood, stone, or light cotton fabrics, it doesn’t matter what you prefer. Bringing the elements into your house can make it feel more peaceful and comforting.
- Mix and See
Many people believe that one space should be similar – from furniture to rugs, from cushions to lamps.
However, mixing different styled things together is in trend and can really bring out the warmness and texture in a room. The way you adore your home tells a lot about you, so instead of following the same old techniques, know what you want.
There is nothing wrong with placing an antique centre table with a modern couch of your choice. Also, adding up heirlooms next to your bed is not a bad idea. Be it your rugs, furniture or even pillows, try mixing different colours, fabrics, patterns, and textures together.
- Use What You Have to Beautify
To make a house look beautiful you need garnishes to decorate it with. Instead of immediately rushing to the store, first, take a look at the items you possibly have packed up in boxes or the items that are just lying around serving no purpose.
First, make use of the things you already have in control. You can use trays that are made of metal, acrylic, silver, or wooden, to place them over bedside tables, racks or even coffee tables to give an extra touch of consistency to your space.
You can even hang plates as wall art, and use art from children’s books to sling in nurseries or children’s rooms. Once you understand the things you have, you can do so much with them.
Bottom Line…
Hardwood floors look beautiful, but are not comfortable like the carpeted floors, especially during the cold season. Adding area rugs can add texture, warmth, and functionality to your space. You can use rugs of diverse patterns and fabrics to add more colour and style to the room.
