Here are some decorating tricks and secrets you can use in your home to make it look like an interior designer decorated it.
Three is the magic number
A trio of objects instantly adds style to any room—a trio of vases or a trio of pictures. You can provide a trio of frames quickly and cheaply. Choose a high-resolution image such as a photo and have it printed on a digital printer. Cut the picture into three equal parts, have the parts framed at a frame store, or buy ready-made frames at home improvement stores.
Less is more
Instead of cluttering your bookshelves with knickknacks and ornaments, opt for the minimalist style. Oversized books, tall and short vases with different textures and colors give character to an uncrowded bookcase.
Focal point
Every room needs a focal point, and it could be the coffee table or a work of art on the wall. Of course, works of art are expensive and not always accessible. But you can create your art using large panels. The key to making them look costly is the proportion of the pieces. I had a massive wall in the dining room that was hard to fill, and of course, I didn’t have a budget for a big canvas signed by an artist, so I painted an abstract canvas myself. Find a store in your city that sells painting and canvas products. Take some tips before shopping. If you think you can’t paint alone, enroll in a canvas painting course, but no landscapes. The secret is in the abstract and that anyone can do. Another option is to create a panel made of fabric or coated with wallpaper.
Create an illusion
The larger the rug, the larger the space will appear. A rug smaller than the sofa makes your living room look smaller and less welcoming. However, rugs are often expensive items in decor. A good trick for having a large rug is to buy two of the same rugs and put them together to make it look like the rug is just one. Mirrors on the walls make the room more extensive. Just be careful what the mirror will reflect. The good idea is to reflect natural light by installing a mirror next to a window. Add neutral tones to the big rug and mirrors combo, and you have the perfect formula for a small room to look bigger!
Add some drama
The drama just isn’t good in real life. On the other hand, your home decor is excellent. Use a dark color to paint a wall or cover it with wallpaper. For example, adding texture and volume to the wall behind the bed will give the room a touch of warmth and a clean look. Using this effect on just one wall is perfect for a budget-constrained renovation because it will save you a lot of money. High floor-to-ceiling curtains made of the noble fabric bring elegance and sophistication to the room. You can make your curtains, create the hem and define how they will be hung. To add volume to the curtains, use the ratio of 3 meters of fabric to each meter of the window.
Use nature as a setting
Does your home have good natural light, and do you still have stunning scenery outside? So you are a lucky person! Let these elements stand out. Use neutral colors to make the house bright and bright. To avoid monotony, use colorful pillows, shawls, and graphic prints on rugs.
Element of surprise
Use unexpected materials in your home to add a little charm. Give the pieces different functions by using an antique door as a coffee table, a chair as a nightstand, a water vase as a flower vase. Play with tones, textures, and proportions. Remember that combining too much is boring!
Value the view
Does your house have a breathtaking view? Use neutral curtains to “frame” the statement. This will direct your gaze to the windows.
Mix textures
Decorate your home with neutral furniture and explore the decor using splashes of color and texture in the accessories. Colors like white, beige, and gray serve as a background to play with this variation of textures.
I hope you enjoyed knowing some decorating secrets and tricks.
