Sometimes, you want to make a change to your home decor, but you’re not quite sure what to do. Maybe you don’t want to spend months making it look amazing, or you don’t want to spend a lot of money, so you have analysis paralysis about where to start! Fear not. Here, we’re going to discuss the small home decor changes that top designers would approve of – and you don’t need to spend a ton of money or a ridiculous amount of time. Take a look!
Add In More Texture
Find ways to bring more texture into your home decor and you’ll instantly have a better looking place. One of the biggest home decor crimes you can commit is not having enough texture in your home – everything will look dull and uninteresting! Things like rugs, throws, and cushions can be a great way to introduce some much needed texture.
Use Metallics And Mix Them Up
Introduce metallic pieces and mix them up. Metallic ornaments can look great, as can vases and frames. They give any interior that little something special, and you can usually find cost effective pieces!
Introduce A Stand Out Piece Of Furniture
If you don’t have a huge budget, but you want to invest in one thing that’s going to stand the test of time, make it a stand out piece of furniture. This should be a durable piece of furniture that you truly love and are confident will stand the test of time. You could start by looking at oak furniture as this type of furniture is durable and can look extremely beautiful. However, there are many different types that could suit just about any look or theme you’re going for!
Paint The Ceiling
Painting the ceiling might seem strange, but in the right room, it can look fantastic. You can make a large room look cosier, or a small room look larger. It’s all about tricking the eye.
Pull Your Furniture Away From The Wall
Pulling your furniture away from the wall is another great optical illusion that could make a big difference. Many people shove their furniture against the wall thinking that they are making the most of their space, when in fact, it can make a room look claustrophobic and not at all put together. Pulling it away by just a few centimetres can really improve the overall look. Use a layout app if you’re not sure what the best layout for each room is!
Get Rid Of Visual Clutter
Visual clutter isn’t clutter that’s necessarily getting in the way, but it can be clutter that tricks the eye into believing the place is messier than it is. If you have lots of little ornaments, get rid of them. Using fewer, larger, more stand-out ornaments is nearly always better.
Use Ornate Mirrors
Ornate mirrors reflect light around a space and can help a small place to look far more spacious. They always make a room look more luxurious, too!
