There’s no place like home, so
why not make home the most beautiful and cozy place you can stay in? Let’s dive
into some techniques that can help you showcase the best features of every room
in your house. Just a touch of color, texture, and personality can transform
your home into something new. Here’s a few tips that aren’t a lot of hassle:
ADD SOME COLOR
Going
with a neutral scheme can never go wrong, but if you’re feeling like your room
is a little drab, don’t be afraid to go with a bold color. You can do an accent
wall that compliments the current color scheme or use your furniture or accent
pieces to bring a touch of color. Color doesn’t have to mean clutter, you can
keep the rest of the room simple and add the dramatic touch with a few
elements.
USE SOME MIRRORS
Bringing
in some mirrors can add light and room to your space. Using mirrors in staging
is known to help the room look like it’s much bigger than it is it. Add a few
accent mirrors, preferably right across the room from a window, to brighten up
your space and keep it from feeling too tight and small.
PLAY WITH ACCESSORIES
We get
it, furniture can get expensive, but there is so much you can do with a room
just getting creative with accessories. Get some unique decorative pieces and
let your room tell a story around them. Hop down to your closest antique store
and grab some pieces that are bold. You can also hop into Hobby Lobby or TJ
Maxx, they have beautiful and unique decorative pieces that are incredibly
affordable.
ADD SOME GREEN
Nothing
gives a space some life like some life, literally. Add some plants to your
rooms, lots of green ones that are easy to keep alive, to add a unique touch to
the room. You’d be surprised how much a room looks “finished” when you add a
beautiful tree to the corner of a room.
EMBRACE THE LIGHT
The
natural light, we mean. Don’t block out your windows with heavy drapes or hide
them behind furniture. Decorate around your room in a way that compliments the
windows and brings the natural light in.
ADD TEXTURE
Use fur
throws or pillows, use patterns in your fabrics, etc. Don’t be afraid to add
unique textures throughout the home. It gives your eyes something to land on as
it’s looking around the room. You can even use metallics. Don’t over-do it,
because then it can get overwhelming. Just get a few textures that compliment
each other and put them in clever places around your room.
REMOVE CLUTTER
A tip you’ll hear often, nothing brings the best out in a room
then getting rid of all the clutter and junk. If you have a hard time walking
around your room or finding things, it may be time to get a few boxes and start
cleaning out the things that don’t really belong.
