It’s all too easy to choose an aesthetic and stick with it when renovating. However, specific styles can also be thought of as a guide rather than an absolute. Styles are excellent for finding what you want, but signature style customisation will help elevate your house into a home.
Choosing the furniture is among the most important parts of a renovation or interior project. It is often the most expensive decision, so there is little room for error. It can also make or break the room. Always ensure that the space and ideas you have can accommodate the size of the furniture. You can always order a bespoke sofa that fits the design style you have your heart set on. So, if you have any questions, consult with furniture design experts to fulfil the objective.
Each style has associated colours. Some are rather muted and neutral, while others are bold and dynamic. But there is no rule that says you have to stick with the colours each style offers. For example Mid Century Modern leans more toward tan, green and mustards but showing I really big pop of colour in their to make it your own, could look incredible. Your home is your home, and you can develop it however you like. However, there are some general rules about colours. Colour theory is an excellent guide for eye-pleasing hues when completing a project. Use this to complement the traditional colours of the style you choose.
So, you’re set on a specific style. That’s great. Getting the job done is only half the battle. One of the greatest tricks of finishing a project is the personal touches. If you own your own property, you are in a lucky position. 72% of UK residents feel they would be happier at home if they could decorate as they want. So take advantage of your freedom to do this. For example, the Japandi style caters to the minimalist mind. Adding plants and personal touches complements it well.
There are features in a home that can complement a style well. Think about styles such as Mid-Century and Farmhouse and how wooden beams and mouldings work well with these. Why hide them or have them removed? These kinds of features can highlight a specific style and even remove some of the work you have to do. It might even be worth checking your home for these as it was common to hide such features, but they are trendy in modern home styles.
Styles are guides, and sticking to them 100% could make your home feel clinical and distant. Your home should feel like it’s yours and not something from a magazine. What works for one person might not work for you. Of course, use a style you love, but don’t be afraid to make some changes. If you think you will enjoy something that doesn’t usually pair with the style, just give it a try. You never know! After all, you want a clean finish, but you also want to make your home feel homey!
