Buying a house is just the first step to creating a beautiful home.?The simplicity and little details from the living room to the bathroom make a home.?Renovating your home can lead to you feeling like you have more space both physically and mentally.
Today we sat down with our resident interior designer, who gave us ten tips on how to make our home look prettier at a small cost.
- Lighting is key?– ensure each room is well lighted, whether it be via the walls being colored correctly or using lamps to open up a dark space.
- Furniture placing?– many people tend to place their furniture up against a wall; try placing it a few inches off the wall and notice the difference.
- Use the little things?– having coffee mugs, books, or other decorations on your shelves can help personalize your home.
- Rugs, rugs, rugs!?– many young people underestimate the elegance a rug in the living room, and bedroom can have in your home.
- Have wallpapers in your rooms?– this is a simple concept but underutilized by many. Add your kids’ favorite cartoon to a wallpaper for their room.
- Intimate dining room?– many think the bigger the dining table the better but actually, the smaller the more intimate, giving your home a cozy feel.
- Paintings are key?– even if it’s just a simple picture, art can make your home look sophisticated and at the same time minimalistic.?
- Use house plants?– this is a growing trend and an important one as plants essentially give life to your home.
- Play with patterns?– if you have white walls, use bold, large patterns for your furniture, rugs, and dining room equipment.
- Have more negative space?– empty spaces are underrated and give your home breathing room for your family and guests.
