Are you thinking of giving your home an interior refresh? Our Lifestyle PR Team shares four easy design styles to provide you with some welcome design inspiration to motivate you. From statement pieces to your choice of paint colours, here are some ideas to transform your living spaces.
Neutral Colour Palettes
Your choice of wall colour can impact the feel and look of the room, whether you choose vibrant colours or something more sublime. The interior trend for creating a calm and serene space goes beyond white walls, and neutral doesn’t have to be dull or uninteresting.
Grey has to have been the most popular neutral shade of favour for the past few years, but with so many different shades and tones, you can create a striking accent wall and bring a touch of bold colour with charcoal grey to a backdrop of a white colour palette and dove grey.
Neutral colour schemes embrace modern design and are an affordable interior design asset to give a feel of clutter-free space, even in a small room or house.
Natural Materials
Add natural elements such as natural wood, stone, and plants to create a beautiful space where you can relax. Marble and stone work well to create a contemporary bathroom. Other beautiful bathroom decorating ideas include combining light wood, such as bamboo-effect tiles, with decorative items, such as shells and stone.
Colour blocking a room or incorporating a dash of bold paint colour or a dark colour scheme can offer a stunning backdrop to highlight textural delights throughout the space to showcase accent pieces such as ceramic decor, decorative woven wool chair throws, leather sofas or sheepskin rug on a painted grey floor. Adding these soft furnishings creates a comfortable living space for you and your family, anchors your furniture, and offers a practical purpose.
Interior Design Ideas That Take Advantage Of Natural Light
One trick that luxury interior design uses is to use natural light by using mirrors to reflect and brighten your space. Your choices of materials can also impact the room. For example, metallics will help maximise light. If you are renovating your home, consider incorporating ceiling windows to let light in. If natural light is sparse, you can use strategically placed table lamps and ceiling lighting.
Add Vintage Furniture
A classic design favourite and a clever, renter-friendly design idea is incorporating antique furniture and boho pieces to give an eclectic feel to a modern space. Combining a mix of vintage furniture with clean furniture lines and contemporary art pieces can transform a room. Consider adding statement pieces such as a retro beaded cabinet or cherished items showcased in a painted gloss-black cabinet.
Take inspiration by turning artwork into gallery walls and including abstract artwork in vintage frames. A black floor can give grounding to a busy room, or go bold with a bespoke floor covering such as patterned vintage-inspired tiles or an ornate vintage rug.
