Interior design can single-handedly make or break the appearance of your dream house. Whether you are planning to buy a new place or renovating the old one, you must make the most of the available area by taking care of the interior design smartly.
Several minute details are responsible for enhancing the appearance of your house, that are often overlooked. Read ahead to know about some interior designing tips, summarised by Headboard Interiors specialists, that will enhance the aesthetic beauty of your home:
Make it look big
Interior design 101 states that when you enter a room, everything should not be of the same level or size, i.e. there should be a combination of different heights. How can you make a room look larger? Using softer and lighter colours, mirrors and large windows give the illusion of a much larger space, as compared with a small room with dark-coloured walls because more light is reflected. Similarly, if you can raise the window treatments in a room, it gives the illusion of a higher ceiling. Making your small place look large is so simple, eh?
Decorative mirrors will help with lighting
Adding decorative mirrors in every room of the house will not only help in ensuring matching interiors but will also reduce the need for additional lighting solutions. As already mentioned above, mirrors facilitate the illusion of a larger room; it happens because they reflect the lights in a room, which gives the impression of a much more spacious room than it really is. Adding decorative mirrors will also reduce your lighting costs because you will not need much lighting options, as the ones which are already there will get reflected by the mirrors installed in the room.
Wicker baskets, headboards and blinds
Installing wicker baskets in a room is an elegant and economical way of adding storage to that room. You can use these baskets for displaying magazines & books (living room), fruits & vegetables (kitchen) and toys & blankets (bedroom), etcetera. Similarly, designer headboards not only offer comfort but also magnifies the appearance of the room. Have you selected blinds for your house? Do you know how significant your decision is? The blinds should not only complement the colour & texture of the walls & the furniture but also cater to your needs, i.e. prevent natural light from entering the room or maintain the temperature of the room.
Mouldings wherever possible
Adding molding to the ceiling, chair rails or baseboard is a clever way of improving the appearance of the place. There is no need for gaudy mouldings; simple ones will do the trick excellently too. It is a preferable option for areas where there is no space for you to hang paintings or any other accessories. Some Victorian-style mouldings will be good for your attic and living room.
Update often
You may not be realising the impact of old knobs, cloudy mirrors and loose fixtures on the appearance of your house because these things are often overlooked unless they break down entirely. A renovation is essential to maintain the appearance of the place, so keep updating regularly.
Don’t match; coordinate instead
Not every accessory, material or colour needs to match each other because the purpose is not to make them look alike, it is to make sure that they complement each other and together enhance the aesthetic beauty of the house. An exact match often looks cheap, so prefer at least three shades lighter or darker between two accessories, such as doorknobs & faucets or floors & cabinets, etcetera. Contrast is a better approach than same colours/material because not only does it increase options for you to choose but also makes the place look stunning, classy and expensive.
Now that you know how the smallest of the details can make a difference in the look of the house, you must follow the tips mentioned above dedicatedly and make your home prettier than ever. As you can observe that none of the suggestions is expensive or difficult to consider, so there should not be any reason for you to ignore them.
Observe! Renovate! Make your house dreamy!
