- Get a bucket of paint
Colours play one of the most important roles in an interior. If your room feels a little boring, changing up the wall paint will instantly solve this issue. Although repainting your walls is not something you can do in ten minutes, it’s still a fairly easy project that you can either do yourself or call a professional to get it done more quickly. To decide on the perfect wall colour, there is a lot you have to take into account, starting from your own preferences through colour psychology all the way to the atmosphere you want to achieve and the orientation of the room in question. For instance, for west-facing rooms, warm hues will boost the hominess. For rooms you want cozy and private, go for darker hues.
- Make the walls more interesting
Speaking of walls, once you’ve got the base colour down, there is a lot of room for experimentation to make them more interesting. Bare walls are simply not an option if you want your home to have a wow-factor. It would be a good idea, thus, to create a gallery wall. Hanging up a huge piece of art is certainly a stunning solution, but you can get creative in other ways too. For example, get a few picture frames in different sizes and place your favourite family photos in them. Then, arrange them in an eye-catching formation on your wall and you’re done! If there is a lot of wall space in your room, you can also consider making a feature wall using wallpaper.
- Change up the textiles
The next easy way to spice up your interior and make it feel like a completely new space is changing up the textiles. Throws and pillows play an important role in the visual effect of your room, so try to switch them from time to time. For instance, for an opulent look, you could place a few velvet cushions and some soft throw blankets on your sofas. On the other hand, for a natural and bright combo, get a jute rug and a few beige pillows with minimalistic patterns. It’s a good idea to change these textiles seasonally so that you don’t get bored with them.
- Bring in some greenery
The next thing that will instantly liven up any room is greenery. Having a few plants is an effortless way to make the interior look much nicer. But besides looking nice, plants also have a positive effect on us. Greenery lowers our stress levels and helps us feel calmer and more focused. Those who have a lot of room can even create a whole nature corner and layer smaller and bigger plants in an attractive way. But you can leverage plants even if you don’t have a lot of room – go vertical and buy a plant stand or simply hang them up wherever you have extra space! When you want to reward yourself, buy some fresh cut flowers and place them in a vase in your living room. They will make your room look luxurious and colourful for several days!
- Breathe new life into old furniture pieces
You don’t even have to buy new furniture to change up the look of your interior – you just have to be bold enough to experiment. Older, boring pieces can only benefit from a new layer of stain or paint on them, and you’ll save a lot of money by refurbishing them instead of putting them away in the attic and forgetting about them. Coffee tables, shelves, chairs and cabinets are all good candidates for a makeover. To stay on the safe side, you can simply choose a different shade of stain and keep their wooden look. But if you have a vision, this is also a great way to introduce a pop of colour that will bring some interest to the final interior design.
- Keep it tidy
Finally, something that should go without saying is that for your newly decorated room to look its best, there is no room for clutter. A neat and clutter-free room will immediately look much better, so before you even start with the redecoration, make sure you clean up and remove unnecessary things from the coffee tables, shelves and other corners. Leaving some decoration is okay, but always stay vigilant of unnecessary knick-knacks cluttering the space.
As you can see, there are lots of ways in which you can instantly make your space feel like new. You deserve to have an interior you can be proud of, so don’t be afraid to start making changes to it!
