Add Bold Statement Pieces.
Statement pieces can transform the entire atmosphere of a space. Search for one large gesture, something oversized with presence amazing art, a funky lamp, a trendy chair and put it in the most visible location (above a mantle or middle of a wall). Balance it out with smaller accent decor for cohesion.
Integrate Textures and Patterns for Warmth.
The most inviting environments are the most varied in texture and patterns. Consider throws and toss pillows, textured area rugs, embroidery or appliquéd accents; all bring interest and depth to a space. Plus, warm, natural components wood, greenery create a natural, inviting warmth that lends itself to a neutral palette.
Select Appropriate Colors for Each Room.
Colors affect how we feel. Warm colors like reds and yellows bring energy to a room; cool colors like blues and greens bring relaxation. Thus, a bedroom should be painted soft and neutral, while the family room and dining room can be more saturated and stronger. Assess the purpose of your room and your preferences to determine paint colors.
Style Your Space.
You should be living in an environment that reflects you. Frame family pictures and hang them, keep meaningful paintings, and search for meaningful baubles and knickknacks that will make your space yours. Even combining heirlooms with more recent finds adds an eclectic, vintage quality with a modern twist.
Consider what would be suitable for each environment.
A living room should have upholstered pieces and texture layers. A bedroom could have more soothing colors and greenery. A kitchen should have trendy appliances and cutlery; a bathroom requires more of a spa-type feel to invite those earthy elements.
Utilize Every Inch.
When square footage is limited, it’s important to purchase multifunctional items. Sofa beds, nesting tables, and storage ottomans are crucial. Wall shelves and collapsible furniture save space while providing a chic and organized appearance.
Combine New and Old.
Vintage decor is part of an authentically styled home, but that doesn’t mean you have to go all vintage or all modern. Blend vintage furniture elements with more modern accents like lighting or a vintage rug with a contemporary one. Just ensure the vibe, texture, colour, and placement are all in unison.
