To achieve a home decor that evokes a sense of luxury and exclusive style, you don’t need to spend a lot of money. The trick is to seamlessly mix high-end pieces with more common items in a way that creates a welcoming atmosphere. It also helps to know where to shop, and exclusive home retailers like Achica Living can be a valuable resource. Read on to learn how to play with the elements that can create a unique home style.
Organisation is key
This element of home design can make it look like you spent a great deal of money on your furniture, lamps, artwork, etc., even if you didn’t. The key to organising your furniture in a way that complements the shape and size of each space primarily lies in deciding before you get started whether you want a traditional, symmetrical layout, or a non-traditional, asymmetrical layout. If you choose to emulate perfect symmetry, it makes deciding where everything will go much easier. However, asymmetrically aligned furniture (that is to say, an end table on one side of the couch and perhaps an arm chair placed closely to the other side) creates visual stimulation and is an easy way to jazz up an ordinary space.
You should also take into account the shape and size of a room. The last thing you want to do is to create the “campfire” effect, wherein all of your furniture simply surrounds a focal point in the room. You’ll want to create different points of interests and perhaps even multiple seating areas, if the room is large enough.
Make small spaces seem bigger with a few visual tricks. You should always flood smaller spaces with light, so that they don’t look dim. This could cause them to feel even more cramped than they are. You should also consider adding a full-length mirror from Achica to one wall to create the illusion that the space is twice as big. And no matter what you do, don’t try to cram lots of furniture into a tiny room. Remember, every square inch is valuable, so when it comes to furnishing small rooms, less is more.
Choose your furniture and decor with discretion.
That means that you should at least have an idea of the colour palette you want to choose from and the type of rhythm and/or harmony you would like to create in your home. One of the best ideas that you can use when you are choosing staple furniture pieces such as a sofa and armchairs is to choose neutral shades for this kind of furniture. This will make it easier for you to change the decor of your home later, if you wish to do so.
Once you have the key pieces in place, you can then start to play with colour, texture, and patterns. Rhythm is created when you use the same pattern, such as stripes or floral, but space them out so that the eye only catches them at certain intervals. Harmony comes from the balancing of such elements along with tones and shades that complement each other.
It may seem like a lot of work, but you’ll be surprised how quickly and easily everything will begin to fall into place once you come up with a plan for making your home look luxurious. As long as you keep these design elements in mind, you’ll achieve home style success.
