Nothing speaks more about you than the indoor environment around you.
Nearly half (45%) of Canadian homeowners plan to renovate their home in 2018, but average renovation spending is down 7% to around $11,000, the lowest in five years, according to recent CIBC Poll. While more homeowners are focusing on cost-effective home maintenance and repairs, most forget about the one thing that makes a home a comfortable space to live in – the look and feel of their interior.
Whether you’re planning to buy the latest range of high-end furniture for your new apartment or want to add some unique hardwood pieces in your home, you need to give your space some sense of individuality. This will help you achieve a blend between your personal style and interior decor needs.
First consider the space you have, your decorative style and furniture arrangement plans. While at it, don’t forget about your outdoor space. For instance, if you’re searching for ideas to transform your garden, you can consider adding outdoor water features like a fountain. Make it an even better relaxing spot by placing a luxury modular sofa with small, medium or large seating modules in water-repellent acrylic.
Play Around With the Power of Contrast
It’s a well-known fact that contrast is the foundational design principle when it comes to giving any interior space stylish impact. Add visual interest by mixing boxy or geometric furniture pieces with curvy and round ones. Play around with different forms to convey a sense of cohesion. Mix different colours, patterns and textures. For any of your rooms that have colours ranging from beige to off-white try adding some vibrant colors like electric blue or bright red to instantly draw attention. You can also easily achieve this power of contrasts with the furniture you choose to buy. Combine contemporary luxury pieces with modern furniture to create a highly versatile and stylish interior.
Combine Functionality, Comfort and Aesthetics
Creating a stylish interior involves combining practical functionality, overall comfort and aesthetics. You can also give your interiors a new look with items you already own. Do a walk-through of your home, move small decor additions for a fresh perspective, dress up your walls with artwork or colorful wallpaper, create a unique display space in your living room and reuse architectural elements as decorative displays.
While there are lots of ideas you can borrow online, working around a personalized decorative theme is what matters most. Whether you’re inspired by ambient spaces, minimalistic designs or a modern touch of architecture, your theme should be the basis of your decor choices.
