Renovating your home can be a fun task to undertake! You’re given freedom to unleash your creativity and to make your house the home you’ve always wanted it to be. But if it’s your first time decorating your own home, it can be tough to know where to start! In this article, we’ve compiled 6 easy tips for you to get started!
1. Craft a moodboard for inspiration.
Start your process by gathering inspirational images from different mediums such as Instagram and Pinterest. Looking at other homes that have the style you like helps with creativity and also gives you an idea of what you’d like your home to look like in a visual sense. From picking out the right colour palette to the right furniture and flooring, it’s great to have a mental image of your future dream home!
2. Opt for neutral color schemes.
If it’s your first time decorating your own home and you’re not too sure where to start, neutral colour palettes never disappoint. Bright and bold colours may be making a combat but for beginners, it’s best to stick to neutral tones and to keep everything timeless and stylish at the same time.
3. Emphasize harmony and balance for your home.
Keeping everything sleek and minimal helps to harmonize and balance your home. Not only does it help to balance your home, it’s also guaranteed to never go out of style. When choosing furniture, make sure to choose ones with clean lines to keep it classic and timeless.
4. Use natural materials such as wood, rattan, leather, silk to add warmth.
Adding natural materials to your home doesn’t just add a touch of warmth and comfort to your home but also makes it more sustainable.
5. Always think twice before buying.
If you come across a piece that you love, check yourself and think twice before you make that purchase! It may look like the stuff of dreams at first look but think about how well it’s going to fit into your overall home. Plus, you’ll be saving big bucks and if you purchase it after much thought, you’re also guaranteed to love it!
6. Make it personal with a signature scent.
Picking up the right fragrance can really help to add ambience to any room. It subtly enhances the overall mood as well as gently elevates our five other senses, helping us to focus on enjoying our time with friends and family.
