Get a Professional Opinion

You don’t have to get a full design firm to redecorate your home, but just hiring an interior designer to give you some insights on what works and doesn’t can make a huge difference and set you on your way. If you are an amateur interior designer, you can take the lead of a professional that can help you implement your ideas in your home like a pro.

It always helpful to get another perspective on your design ideas anyway and a good interior designer will be able to offer you solutions that you might not have considered, such as adjusting the furniture arrangement so that the room flows better and more space is created.

Choose Big and Bold

Something big and bold like a large painting, a big fur rug, and even a glamorous armchair can take your home to a whole new design level. Not only will it turn your décor up a notch, it will also make your place look magazine worthy, showing your not afraid to take risks when it comes to design.

De-clutter and Add a Few Accessories

Clear out your bookshelves, tabletops, and mantels from junk and you’ll be surprised at how big of a difference this can make to your home. Your space will look bigger, cleaner, and sleeker. To fill in your space, purchase a few metallic décor accessories, a nice vase, and a few hardcover designer coffee table books.

Promote Natural Lighting

Natural light can make a huge difference to your space and can light up those dark corners, making your space look even bigger. To promote natural lighting in your space, choose light pastel colors that make sunlight bounce off the walls, like light pink, mauve, peach, lilac, lavender, or dove grey. These colors make a room look endless and make way for spicing it up with accessories.

Collect Inspiration and Copy What You Like

Pinterest is the perfect place to spark your imagination and scour gorgeous design. If you like a room you see, just pin it and use it for inspiration for your own project, or just try to remake the whole design at home. Flip through design magazines like Architectural Digest, Veranda, and Beautiful Home and start off a scrapbook full of clippings. If you are out of ideas, just crack open your book and you’d be surprised at how fast your creative juices start flowing.

Play with Textures

All the pro’s swear by this decorating trick to make their spaces look cozy by adding textures through accessories and furniture. If you have a sleek linen colored room, a soft velvet chair with a studded trim is just va-va-voom! Add some silky cushions, a fuzzy fur throw, and a few rattan storage baskets for a texturized combination that looks priceless.

Add a Finishing Touch with Natural Arrangements

It’s a no-brainer that plants and flowers add life to a room, but they also scream “an interior designer has been here!” No design is complete without a touch of Mother Nature. Real floral arrangements can be pricey, but investing in some high-quality silk flowers is well worth the money and can last for years. Even natural items like seashells or bouquet peacock feathers work wonders as well.
