We all want our homes to look like they could be featured in an issue of one of our favorite shelter magazines. If we love design and decorate our homes, it is really important to us that we live in a beautiful space. This is an excellent goal to have. As long as it has the look we love, it doesn't really matter if it ever does. That's where things start getting tricky most of the time.
Is there a way to create that on-trend editorial look in spaces that aren't in magazines but even in everyday life where stuff accumulates, kids play, wires are necessary, and we just don't have the energy or time to keep everything perfect?
As a matter of fact, it is a challenge. However, the good news is that it's easier than you think to achieve the look you want. It is possible to put yourself ahead of the competition if you have the fundamentals in place of your design. Those steps will assist you in achieving the look you desire. After that, it's just a matter of maintaining it. Here are 7 things you need to know to get started designing the space you've always wanted.
Several design secrets can be found in this space, and anyone can help you design your home right. Black and white is a classic and simple color combination. The sofa is adorned with a variety of pillows that bring in pops of color and global patterns. Texture and a geometric print are added by a Moroccan rug.
But perhaps the most outstanding aspect of this room is its chandelier. You can think of a chandelier as jewelry for your interior. Lighting is essential to any room, and chandeliers are a great choice.
1. Painting The Door Trim
Adding a touch of artsy sophistication to your space means doing something unexpected. Colors and patterns in unexpected places will surprise people.
As a case in point, let's look at this room. Painting your doorways will give your home an unexpected pop of color.
2. Ceiling-to-floor drapes
Rooms will look exponentially better if your curtains are hung from the top of your walls. Regardless of whether the window goes up that high, this is still important to do.
Your design will instantly come alive when your curtains are hung from the highest point possible, drawing attention to the height of the space. You can enhance the appeal of your curtains by hanging them in an eye-catching color, if you want everyone to see what you've done.
3. Use fresh flowers
The ability to create good vignettes is one of the key skills of a designer, as we've all learned from looking at photographs of house tours. To achieve this skill, fresh flowers should be included as a finishing touch to the room. The importance of flowers should not be underestimated, even though they may seem so small and simple.
It is always a pleasure to have flowers in a space. An element of nature always adds a refreshing element to a space. They add another layer of color to spaces, either brightening them up or tying them together with other colors in the room.
You can also use plant stands to manage your plants properly.
4. Paint Your Ceiling
Consider painting all the way to the ceiling when you have a high ceiling. Your interior looks taller and more interesting when your ceiling is painted in color.
5. Use Complementary Color
Any space is incomplete without color. Think outside the box when it comes to color to make your spaces stand out.
Playing with complementary colors and making them your own is only a hint of what you can achieve. You can infuse your interior with new and bright colors by choosing pink and peacock instead of red and blue.
6. Color Blocking
Now is the time for color blocking. A room can look amazing when it's painted in only one color. If you have a favorite piece of furniture, painting it the same color will be a great starting point. The key to making a color-blocked space work is to find patterns or complementary colors.
A credenza and walls in this room complement each other perfectly, making the space immediately inviting. Color is kept from becoming overwhelming by the softer wood tones and the rug's small pop of pattern. They do not compete with the green, however, as they are both subtle.
