Home decor is not only time-consuming but also a costly affair. Keeping up with the latest trends is not always practical. Here’s how to stay in style for decades.
Minimalist is Evergreen
Avoid crowding your home with shelves, tables, and unnecessary furniture. Stick with functional and aesthetic accessories that are proportionate to the size of the room. The room will exude elegance when its contents are spaced out.
Pile on the Pillows
Pillows or cushions can be used to add to the beauty of the drawing room. Some small cushions on the sofa and divan make it look intriguing. Inspired by Indian culture or funny graphic art helps showcase your individuality.
Emphasize on Color
White, pale gold, gray and caramel never really go out of fashion. Opt for these or other pastel shades of warm colors for your walls. Then, add some inexpensive brightly colored cushions to make your furniture stand out. Designer cushion covers are your best bet, because they are affordable enough to be changed at your whim. Changing them from time to time also keeps your room looking fresh and a little different each time your guests visit. You could even place stylish vases to add a bit of color.
Define Your Room with Art
Choose art wisely. There is no need to spend a fortune on a vintage piece, but a work of art that you love can become an accessory that actually defines your room. A mix of modern and traditional art frames can really give a face lift to a room or even an entire house. Playing with funky artwork on the walls or group framed pieces of different sizes together to leave a lasting impression.
Functional Furniture
Don’t buy furniture just because it looks chic; comfort, durability and utility should be priority. For instance, there is no point buying a couch which isn’t comfortable. Buy home decor items that are meant to be used, and not just admired from afar.
Natural Lighting
Design your layout in a way that allows natural light to flow in. This gives a fresh, lively appeal to your room. Where there is minimal natural light, invest in good quality lighting options. There is a large variety available today; choose one that perfectly fits the decor, your family’s needs and your personal taste.
Smart Storage
When space is at such a premium, storage must be smart. It not only keeps your house in order but also becomes a part of your design aesthetic. For instance, store-all drawers in the nook under your spiral staircase; cabinets with drawers in various sizes (with stylish knobs!) and wrought-iron hooks – all serve you well.
Do remember that not every piece within your home must fall within the timeless category. The point is not to spend a fortune or weeks selecting every little piece. Keep the basic layout evergreen and experiment with affordable accessories like cushion covers, planters, table mats and more.
Be a smart home decorator; keep up with the latest trends without going through complete makeovers!
