Whether you’re renovating your new home, or giving your current place a freshen up, choosing the style and decor features of your space can be a sometimes difficult decision.
Unless you’re an interior designer, it can be hard to know what colours compliment eachother, how to transfer your moodboard into reality, and how to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
If you’re just getting started with the decorating process, we’ve compiled a list of some of our top tips on how to create the space of your dreams.
Here’s how to decorate your house in 5 simple steps.
Step 1: Assess Your Needs
Before you start searching online for furniture or picking out paint swatches, you should think about what you need out of your home.
Every room in your house serves a purpose and has a very different function, and should be considerate of these purposes when it comes to interior design.
For example, your living room should be a relaxing place where you can unwind, so it makes sense to fill it with comfortable furniture and a neutral color palette.
On the other hand, your bedroom should be your own personal hideaway so you can get creative with colours, designs, and unique pieces of furniture.
Step 2: Consider Colours
Colours are an extremely important part of any home redecoration as colour can have a big impact on our mood.
Neutral colours like white, light browns, or pastel hues have a calming effect on our minds so are perfect for areas of your home where you’d like to feel at peace.
Similarly, bold, bright colours can give you energy and motivation so are best-suited in rooms where you intend to entertain guests.
Step 3: Decide on Your Statement Pieces
To avoid overloading your space with too many bold pieces, it normally makes sense to pick one statement piece per room.
This will be a piece of furniture that instantly grabs the attention of guests, and will act as the foundation for the rest of the room’s decor choices.
Go for interesting designs, fun prints and eyecatching colours that will add glamour and style to your room. We recommend going for fun materials such as brick, or you can even shop for marble furniture online.
Step 4: Introduce the Accents
Now that you have your statement piece, it’s time to bring in some accents that compliment it.
Choosing matching furniture, complementary accessories, or contrasting prints is a fun way to bring a room to life and create a space that you enjoy settling down in every day.
Step 5: Make Your House a Home
The final step in the decoration process is to make your house feel like a home by introducing your own personal photos and decor that holds sentimental value.
Your home should feel like a true representation of yourself, not just a showhome, so make it personal and add your own finishing touches.
