Interior Decor Tips to Get Started

One of the main motives behind re-decorating a house is to create a good first impression. Getting appreciation by your friends and relatives is always a good thing. It’s the little things that you do by putting some extra effort that can make your home stand out and leave your guests in awe. But the most difficult question to answer is, “where to start?”

We have jotted down a few tips that will help you get started on the journey of decorating your house.

• Revive that empty corner: Placing the furniture where it needs to be is not what decor is all about. Just like a painter who works on small details to make a masterpiece, an interior designer has to form a connection among each and every decor choice. It is very crucial that the corners of your home sync with the decor. If you have an empty corner, revive it. Place a side table, a pouffe, or a hanging chair depending on the location and your preference. Add some pillows, wall hangings, and home plants to make the corner look cozy, stylish and well-kept. 
• Get creative with dining furniture: The dining set is one of the most functional furniture you require in your home. But it is difficult to style your dining set when you are thinking about upgrading your decor. Chances are your functional and standard dining table that may look odd compared to your contemporary decor ideas. Change your dining setup and implement new ideas instead. Don’t buy matching chairs for your set, mix and match different designs. Select a trendy design for the dining table. Also, if you have a small space then opt for bar stools on a counter table so that it takes less space and looks urban-chic.
• Personalize your decor: No matter how trendy and luxurious your decor is, the house won’t feel like yours if you don’t add a personal touch in your decor ideas. Your home should reflect who you are. It is a testament to your lifestyle, your personality, and your taste. If the latest trends don’t match with your taste then it is completely fine to go with your choices and instinct. After all, the opinion that matters the most is yours. Put some photographs of you and your family on the wall, place some souvenirs in your living room and make sure that your home ingrains your memories, showcase your hobbies/likings and has a place for your necessary belongings.
• Play with colours and textures: Unless it’s 1960’s buying all your furniture in same colour and texture is a bad idea. It makes your home look flat and boring. Elevate your home with different furniture designs, colours and textures. If you imagine it the wrong way, it may look abrupt but when styled correctly, it can give your house a lively identity. Coordinate the colour palettes, mix and match the chair and sofa textures, use patterns in some and plain in others. This way each room will have a character of its own and your guests won’t stop being in awe.
• Choose trendy lighting designs: Lighting is very crucial in decor. It sets the tone and mood of the room. Setting a perfect balance of its placement and brightness can enhance the decor, layout and colours in your home. If the lighting is not right, it can make even the most modern and luxurious furniture look dull. It should efficiently reflect all the surfaces and draw eyes to the decor. Not only lighting but its design also plays a major role. There are several trendy designs in the market now that not only enhances the decor but also become a part of it due to their finishing and geometry. Select different designs of lights for different areas of focus.
• Go Green: When you are looking at decor ideas, think about the bigger picture. Along with primary factors, you also need to think if the choices presented to you are environment-friendly or not. Being conscious about the environment and sustainability will help you take the right decisions. For your decor to last a long time, it is crucial that you choose eco-friendly and sustainable interiors.
