Choosing how to style your home can be a difficult decision. There are so many colours and furniture pieces to include; it is hard to decide what should be included or left out.
For many of us, interior design isn’t our strong point. It’s for this reason that many people hire an interior designer to do the job for them. However, what happens if you haven’t got the extra cash to hire someone? How about if you could use their expertise and knowledge to style your home without their help? Designers and interior decorators regularly use trends to style homes, and dependent on what the client wants, they can create a home that is Instagram worthy.
Some people have a natural eye for design. If you’re in the group of those who don’t have a designer eye, it’s worth taking a look at some of the secrets below.
Keep it minimal
Minimalism is a huge trend right now. As more and more people decide to switch up their lifestyle, minimalist trends are only increasing. Classics never go out of style, and white walls with plain wooded flooring are a beautiful sight. If you’re unsure of how to decorate your home, RW Invest has newly developed apartments that showcase a minimalistic design. They incorporate white with greys and creams to produce a stunning look. Even the furnishings throughout their properties have a minimal design. Take a look at some of their most popular developments for inspiration for your own home.
Remember that just because you’re keeping the walls and floors simple, you can always add accessories such as vases and stand out trinkets. They’re exceptionally beautiful, and there are many affordable retailers to choose from.
Personality is key
Your home should display your personality, so don’t be afraid to put your stamp on it. It may be that you have to brainstorm some ideas, start by jotting down suggestions on paper and decide what sorts of décor reflect your personality. While interior designers get to know you, you have an advantage on them here as you know yourself better than anyone else.
Start by creating a mood board, Pinterest is great for this. Add colours, patterns and textures you love and think would work in your new home. Next, try browsing through magazines for inspiration; you could even cut it out and create a real-life mood board. If you’re a confident and outgoing person, then you will want yellow or greens as your colour choice, whereas those who are more reserved and shyer may find comfort in greys and whites.
Be bold
Pops of colour against prints or plain backdrops can look stunning. A popular choice is dark and light palm leaf wallpaper, contrasted with mustard and grey furniture. If you’re using this combination, wood furnishings will work well too. Don’t feel afraid to be bold and add colour where you think it’s necessary. It may be that people think a designer has made a choice for you, which will make them surprised when they find out it was all you! Extra colours don’t have to be wallpapers or paints either; geometric cushions are another popular choice.
