You don’t have to settle for complicated and costly remodels for your home to be awe-inspiring. With almost everyone working or staying at home due to these unprecedented times it is more important than ever to make sure you are comfortable with your home’s interior design and feel cozy.
Here are ten ideas to make a statement with your interior design.
One way to boost your home’s appearance is by updating the fixtures. It’s cheap, and it does wonders for the overall aesthetic. Rose gold fixtures are really popular right now, but choose fixtures that speak to your motif. Swap out fixtures in every room of the house. If there’s a knob or handle on it, there’s a cool alternative to it on the market.
If you have the budget, go ahead and do yourself the favor of switching to hardwood floors. If not, refinish or polish your existing floors. A little shine or a different color stain can go a long way to changing the mood of a room.
Countertops are the showstoppers of the kitchen and bathroom. Getting a new one can be just what your home needs. If you’re going for budget-friendly, look at solid surface kitchen countertops If you have a little room in the budget, you can’t go wrong with quartz bathroom countertops.
Houseplants are back in style, and there’s nothing like a houseplant to make a statement and serve as a way to calm you down. If you’re feeling stressed from the current situation, they provide better air quality for your home and are proven to increase productivity by 15%. Succulents, bonsai trees, and terrariums are all popular choices. However, don’t be afraid to choose less conventional houseplants.
Go for a curved couch instead of a rectangle one. Say, “yes” to that egg chair, and go ahead and buy those art deco side tables. When it comes to your furniture, don’t be hesitant to choose something a little outside the norm.
Photo walls had a huge moment several years ago, but they’re making a comeback. Photo walls are a fantastic way to make a statement, and they’re relatively cheap to create. Print pictures of your friends, family, favorite places, and more, and create a wall design dedicated to displaying all the photos.
Accent walls aren’t a new trend, but they’re a lasting one. Accent walls are easy to create, and they help make any room exciting. You can create an accent wall by painting it a different color than the rest of the room or by applying wallpaper to it. Alternatively, you can cover a wall in mirrors, clocks, or some other interesting decoration motif to make it an accent wall.
Just like many of the other ideas on this list, area rugs are fantastic statement pieces. Go for funky colors and patterns or exciting materials to really make an impact. Also, it’s not uncommon to see people layer rugs. This idea is great when you can’t decide which rug you like best. Instead, choose both and layer them on top of each other to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
Thanks to the rise of Etsy, homemade and handcrafted items are trending in home design. Choose art pieces, furniture, and decorations created by your local artists to make a statement. Or, if you’re creatively inclined, consider hand crafting some of your own décor.
While it used to be taboo to combine different patterns, that’s no longer the case. Interior designers are mixing the most unlikely bold patterns together to create truly statement-making homes. Consider using multiple different patterns in your home. For instance, choose a bold plaid for your couch cover and pair it with complementary and groovy tie-dyed throw pillows.
If you’re limited on time and money, you can still make your home’s design stand out. These ten ideas are examples of simple interior design trends that make a statement.
The key to making a statement is committing to being bold. Choose unique pieces, colors, patterns, and materials. Right now, it’s trendy to be unique with your home’s design. Think outside the box, and take your home to the next level.
