Deciding On Your Home Decor Theme
Are you decorating your home? Would you like to redecorate it with your your own concepts and designs? Giving your home interior a brand new look is one of the most exciting things you can do, especially if this is something you particularly enjoy doing. Decorating your home gives you the freedom to enjoy your own preferences when it comes to the colors, textures and arrangements that you want. When you design your own place, you experience a greater sense of belonging and you’ll probably start spending more time in it than out.
You don’t even have to worry if you don’t have experience in home design. It is something that you can just do out of your own instincts and out of your own desire to make yourself a lovely home. Of course, you can always hire an interior designer, but unless you have the budget, this could only mean unnecessary expenses. You can always do it your own way, and you can even enjoy the results more because you’ll have things exactly as you wish for them to be. You also don’t have to come up with a complicated plan. Remember, the best designs are always simple and easy.
To start off your redecoration or renovation plans, you need to think of a few basics such as your color choices. There is probably nothing that can affect your design as much as the colors you paint on your walls and even the colors that your furniture goes in. Back then, a good design meant matching colors from one portion of the house to the other. These days, people have become more adventurous and experimental. Anything that may not look good according to old-fashioned design books may now work. That means, as long as the colors go together, they can be a good combination. You don’t have to be monochromatic, although that would have a classic appeal. If you are feeling more adventurous, go for an eclectic mix of hues and shades.
Another thing you’d like to take into account is your theme. Would you like Victorian, Mediterranean, minimalistic, country or safari? There could be other themes you can explore, but when you make a go for one theme, go for it through and through. That means, you can’t have Mediterranean and country all in the same room. If you must, you can use different themes for different areas of the house. Again, you can go for an eclectic design, but even this would need a common thread that will bind all the design elements together to make things look appealing.
