A Homeowner’s guide to Interior Decor
When you see the before-and-after shots of interiors it makes interior decor looks so easy! As if someone just waved a magic wand and transformed the space but the reality is a bit more tricky! Here are our top tips to help you create your own bit of magic at home.
Cut Pre-Made Tiles for a Custom Look
Pre-made tiles are a great way to get a custom look for your home on a budget. You can cut them to fit any space, and they come in various colors and styles.
Consider the following before choosing your pre-made tiles:
- The color and style of your home
- The type of tile you want
- How much money do you want to spend
- What you need it to do
For example, if you want your pre-made tiles for a backsplash in the kitchen, consider what tile style would look best with your countertops. Make sure they will go together. If you’re looking for something more custom, then just cutting up pre-made pieces is probably the way to go.
Play With Vintage Pieces
Vintage pieces are a great way to add personality and character to a room. You can find these pieces at flea markets, thrift stores, and garage sales. Be sure to measure the piece before you buy it to make sure it will fit in the space you have for it.
There are various vintage pieces you can use, such as vintage suitcases that you can use as storage for blankets and pillows.You can also incorporate mirrors with ornate frames that make excellent wall decor when grouped in a series.
What’s more? Oversized furniture pieces – dressers, bookcases, are fun to mix with modern pieces of furniture. If you want to add more character in your home you might want to get vintage pieces from America’s Antique Mall for a revamp look.
Add a Natural Touch
Adding a natural touch to your interior decor can help to make it feel more like home. One way to do this is by using plants, either in pots or as part of your decor. You can also use natural materials such as wood, stone, and metals.
Another way to add a natural touch is by using earth tones. These colors include shades of brown, green, and yellow. They can help to create a warm and cozy feeling in your home.
If you want a slightly more formal look, you could use neutral colors such as black, white, beige, and grey. These colors will go with almost anything and will not fade in popularity over time.
Layer Your Lighting
Your lighting is one of the most critical elements in your decor and should be one of the first things you consider when starting a project.
Lighting can make or break any design, but it is not as challenging to work with as some might think. The right lighting fixtures will add warmth to a space while adding height and drama. They bring life into an otherwise empty room by giving it purpose and character that no other element could ever achieve on its own. Make sure you choose lights wisely for each area because they’ll help set the tone throughout your home.
Use your imagination and add a little personal touch
Your home decor reflects your personality and lifestyle, so it’s essential to take the time to choose pieces that you love.
With a few simple tips, you can create a beautiful and functional space. Use these ideas to get started, and don’t be afraid to experiment until you find what works best for you.
