Want your home
to look like it was designed by a professional? It can be done. Just follow
these simple and doable home décor tips to make your home stand out.
Start With The Color Scheme
Don’t rush and just paint the house before considering the
furniture and accessories you have to buy. The first thing that many
professional designers do is that they pick a color scheme that best suits the
natural lighting conditions of the house. Then they purchase the paint and
furniture accordingly. You can determine the color scheme by drawing a design
for the colors, or there are also applications that allow you to virtually
design your room. Colorsnaps, Houzz, and magicplan are some great applications
for creating a virtual design of your décor.
Hang Some Artworks
Empty walls make the room look dull and boring. Professionals
always suggest using the artworks of the right size and color to make the room
more lively and inviting. Hanging artworks will make your home look less like a
college dorm and more like a place for grownups. You can also use some family
photos to fill the plank walls or you can find a sketch or an oil or charcoal
painting to hang on the wall. Make sure the color of the artwork matches and
compliments the pain and furniture.
Focus On The Lighting
Dull lighting can make even the most elegantly designed room
look boring and uninviting. Proper lighting is critical for a well-decorated
room. Use lighting at different levels to make the home more appealing. Chose
the most important part of the room as a focal point and make it stand out. The
focal point can be the dining table, the sitting area, artwork or any other
thing. Using the proper lighting will make your home look more elegant and
luxurious
Learn To Accessorize
You don’t want to overcrowd the room with furniture, but you
still don’t want the room to look too empty. Placing designer accessories in
these empty locations will make the room look more filled without overcrowding
it. You can use different and artistic throw-pillows to fill up the unnecessary
empty spaces on the sofas, or you can use decorative bowls and lamps to fill up
other spaces.
Make Sure That Your Artworks Are Of The Right Size
Determining the size of the artwork you want to hang on a wall
can be very difficult. A great trick that can help you with this problem is
that you should take a picture of the wall you want to hang the artwork on.
Print out the photo and draw on it to check which size will look better. Or you
can also use drawing apps to determine the size that will best suit the wall.
Many people just randomly buy artworks and then later figure out where to hang
them. This is not the right strategy. You should choose the artworks after
studying the walls.
