While
designing your home is no doubt exciting, the process can also be overwhelming.
Trying to achieve the right balance of form and function has its challenges.
Regardless of your style, the big picture and the small details are equally
important. From choosing the
right furniture to finding
the perfect color palette is very
important for designing luxurious home.
Here are
some of the best home decor ideas suggested by Tops Interior Designers to inspire you as you create your dream home.
Consider colors
and fabrics:
Start to
hone in on the colors you want to use – for the painted walls or wallpaper,
furniture, blinds and curtains. The third color could be a highlight for
cushions, lampshades, bed quilts and accessories such as a tablecloth or even a
painting.’
Size up the
furniture:
Decide on
the furniture you want in your room. Think about scale, in a large room you
need a big sofa and footstool. Most designers recommend that
even small rooms should have one large statement piece, even if it is a
headboard in a bedroom. A balance of large and small pieces will create an
appealing living space.
Remember to think
about lighting:
A
well-designed room can be spoiled by improper lighting, so make sure to factor
lighting into your budget. Windows (for natural light), floor lamps, overhead
lights, accent lighting, and white- or light-colored walls and furniture are
all great ways to open up a dark or small space.
Hang at Least One
Mirror in Every Room:
Mirrors
can make a space feel brighter because they bounce the light around the room.
But placing one in the wrong spot can be almost as bad as not having one at
all.
Put
mirrors on walls perpendicular to windows, not directly across from them.
Hanging a mirror directly opposite a window can actually bounce the light right
back out the window.
Flaunt Those
Paintings:
Give your
living room wall the feel of an art gallery by displaying a few of your
favorite paintings. Choose frames to coordinate with the overall decor and
color scheme. Hang them exhibit style leaving uniform intervals between frames
to maintain a sense of consistency. And voila, you have an instant conversation
starter at your next dinner party!
