#1 Choose your colour and remain with it till the end

When looking for inspiration on Pinterest or having a hearty and excited discussion with your friends on what colours will look best for your space, always go for the one that are coherent with your goal.

Whether you want it to be more practical for families and group or you want it more of a private space where you can relax, choose your colour accordingly, and stick with it till the end. If you still want one of your favourite colour to be a part of your dream space, opt for three-colour scheme – 60% dominant colour, 30% secondary colour and 10% accent colour (can be your favourite colour)

#2 Lighting and Focal Points

Be it illuminating your room, task lighting the reading nook, or highlighting and adding drama to your statement piece, lighting plays a very crucial role in regulating the mood and overall experience of an individual. A well-lit space motivates the person to do the same task, a teeny tiny bit different. Bring abnormality into everyday rituals.

This when paired with focal lighting on centre pieces, shifts the ambience, making even the simplest activities feel new and inspiring. It would be like the day and night transition, where with dusk, your room will transform into a cozy classic home, allowing the poet within you to emerge.

#3 Add textures and patterns

A well-built home/office with superb finishes still lack an important element that brings visual depth and interest to a place. Do not be afraid of experimenting different textures like velvet, leather, wood and other natural fibres. Mix patterns and make your home sleek yet connected to nature.

#4 Curate your clutter

After carefully defining the space into functional zones without space-wasting, the next step is decluttering. A cluttered room can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, it can be transformed into a calm and organized environment. Start by removing unnecessary items that do not serve a purpose in the space. Choose storage solutions that are practical and blend seamlessly with the design, ensuring that everything has its place. This not only creates a harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality but also makes the space appealing and highly efficient. ‘A busy room can also be a calm room’.

#5 More mirrors

Your mirrors do not necessarily have to be fixed on walls, or in certain places. You can have them fitted in any location to create a dramatic flair. They can reflect the natural light to corners and can make a monochromatic room appear larger and more glamorous. One can never go wrong with mirrors.

You can place them as windows even in the basement. The mind can be tricked into believing that you have a well-lit space. A gloomy storage room or empty space can be bought to life. It can also be seen as a masterpiece and can come to life with focal lighting within its edges.

#6 Use heirlooms to give a vintage vibe:

No matter how old or worn out the passed-down ornaments and decorative pieces are, it can add a spark that even the most expensive pieces cannot. The vintage statement piece with focal lighting and correct textures and patterns can transform the space into a haven of luxury and richness. Its dull exterior can actually give you the nostalgia, making you proud of your heritage. Make use of illusions and effect with a bit of creative lighting and patterns on the walls to further add depth and meaning to your pieces.

#7 Experiment with the ceilings:

If your ceilings are on the low side, paint them white to make the room feel more expansive. Hang curtains higher than the windows to trick your eyes into thinking the room is taller. Try vertical stripes to visually elongate the wall, and lean a large mirror to further make the room seem taller.

Don’t just leave your ceilings unattended. Decorate them just as you do to your walls. Your ceilings deserves some love too. Add wallpapers, create patterns and colour to make the ceiling come alive.

#8 Multifunctional furniture:

Interior designers have devised ways to attain multi-functional furniture to create more space in a room. For example, cabinetry can serve a dual purpose, opening up as a dresser on one side and a crockery cabinet on the other. This type of furniture maximizes the utility of each piece, allowing you to save space while maintaining style and functionality. By investing in furniture that serves more than one purpose, you can optimize even the smallest areas, making them more practical and organized without sacrificing design.

#9 Make most of natural light:

Natural light and hues are something that can never be replaced by artificial lights. When adding a new addition or remodelling a space, make sure there is no breakage in the flow of natural light. Add mirrors and place them strategically to reflect the light to all corners of the home.

#10 Use Wallpapers and Stickers on old appliances:

Transform your old appliances and furniture with bright, decorative wallpapers and stickers. Add a fun twist and get a crisp finish by marking out the geometric shapes of the appliances and filling in the blanks with a variety of wallpaper stickers that reflect your personality. This not only brightens the once-old room but also elevates your mood helping you get the task done much quicker. For example, the old kitchen can be revamped with colourful, patterned stickers, turning it into a vibrant and inviting area.
