We all want to take out that interior designer that we have
inside but the reality is that we are always consulting the Internet to know
what to do and many times our expectations and reality are totally different.
In Design and House we want to help you improve your space
so we bring you some tips that you can use when decorating the interior of yourhouse.
One of the easiest and most impressive changes you can make
in your home is the change of paint. In general terms, if you have a small
space, you should define your color scheme and consider using soft and light
tones which will help you give the impression of having a larger room.
The color scheme you choose can be the point of union
between several of the areas or rooms in your home. Use the base tones of your
scheme, play with them and experiment by applying it not only to the walls but
also to your furniture or decoration accessories.
Many professional designers use the 10/30/60 rule when using
the colors they chose in their palette. This means that you will have a
dominant tone 60%, a secondary tone 30% and an accent tone 10%. When using this
rule, consider using more neutral dominant tones and remember that the colors
of your furniture are part of your palette.
Other ways to make your room look bigger is the use of
stronger colored vertical lines. You can also use mirrors, these add scale,
distribute the light and give the optical feeling of space.
When it comes to highlighting your furniture and pieces, do
not hesitate to display it and make it the focal point of your room. Do not
hesitate to mix the new with the old, there is nothing wrong with mixing family
furniture with modern pieces.
The main thing is that the space reflects your personality,
remember that the furniture you love tells a story and deserves to be
highlighted. To highlight your main decorative pieces, follow the rule of 3. In
general terms the grouping of objects with odd numbers will generally be more
interesting and guide the look, using three objects can give you the ideal
balance. By using radically different objects but with a conductive thread you
will increase their impact even more.
For those who have their bar at home, a good idea is to
display it and have it available to guests. Your bottles will be integrated as
part of the decoration and we are sure that they will make your guests feel at
home.
Do not stop experimenting with the objects you already have,
often placing them differently or in different spaces will make them stand out.
If you want to incorporate new elements you will have a lot to choose from, you
can find unique pieces such as furniture that have been recovered and repaired.
If you do not want to invest in this type of furniture
consider making them yourself, many times they are weekend projects that
involve giving them a new coat of paint, changing the legs of a table or even
changing the handles of your kitchen furniture. These small details can have a
great impact on the decoration of your space.
Something you can't forget and that can make a big
difference in your space is adding plants. They are a way to give color and
texture to your room. Find the most suitable for your routine, you can find
plants that do not require much time to maintain them and on the other hand
some that require your full attention to flourish.
An element that can transform your space is the carpet.
These can give a touch of color to your space or make it warmer. Use different
patterns and textures to express yourself. If you have young children consider
using washable rugs.
When you start you will find inspiration in many places and
objects. Make these your starting point to start your new decoration and
remember that the most important thing is that you express yourself in your
space and that it is something you enjoy.
