6 essential tips to decorate your home like a pro

9/14/2021

​Home decorating can be a daunting task. There are so many decisions to make when deciding what style of furniture, how much space, and where to put everything that it can quickly become overwhelming. The good news is that with these 6 essential tips, your home will look like a pro decorated it in no time!

So are you ready to up your interior design game?

Consider the “less is more” rule

A big house with lots of rooms might seem like a blank canvas that tempts you to fill it to the brim with as many things as you can find. But if you just start putting many mismatched items in without a guiding plan, your home can suddenly feel cluttered. It will make the space feel more cramped and less spacious-feeling. And you want a home that looks elegant and sophisticated, not cluttered.

Create a vision board before you start decorating your home so that every piece of furniture and accessory is intentional. You can then put thought into every piece that goes in, and they will all work together cohesively instead of just being an assortment of random pieces.


 
You also want to avoid unintentional clutter when your family members inevitably start leaving things lying around when they've finished using them. Make sure you invest in high-quality, functional storage solutions like this valet shelving to ensure that personal items stay stored behind closed doors.

​Use lamps to create different moods in your home

Lighting can quickly change the tone of a room. As well as making sure that there is enough natural light coming into every room and setting up your furniture to make the most of it, lamps are an excellent way to create different moods in the rooms of your house and change them throughout the day.

Lamps can set the tone of your space, whether you want something cozy and inviting after dark or enhance the bright energy of natural light during the day.


 
Overhead lights by themselves can be harsh and often don't illuminate the whole room evenly. This is why free-standing lamps can be an easy and quick way to change a space in your home from dull and lifeless to an exciting and vibrant area that invites entertaining or a welcoming nook for you to curl up in. And if you install dimmer switches, you can play around with different levels of light depending on what you need at any time throughout the day or night.


 
For an easy change, try placing table lamp nightstands on each side of beds to provide a tranquil bedroom ambiance. And a perfectly placed standing lamp beside a comfy armchair can offer a cozy atmosphere that invites you to sit down and unwind after a long day.

Use mirrors strategically

Mirrors are a small but important detail in any room. If you strategically place them in the right spots, you can create more light and space and make your room look larger and brighter than it is.

By showing the reflection of the open room in front of them, mirrors create an illusion of more depth and space, giving off the impression that the room is bigger than it really is. Cleverly placed mirrors help you feel as if you've gained extra floor area and spaciousness when decorating or redecorating your home without breaking any walls down.


 
They can also help reflect natural sunlight into a dark space. This is especially helpful if there isn't much open floor area in a particular part of your home, such as a corner of a room or long corridor, or where there aren't windows available, like in a small bathroom.

​Use accent pieces to tie the room together

Once you have the main look of the room and all of the big pieces of furniture in place, play around with smaller accent pieces such as artwork, pillows, and throws. These smaller accent pieces can be more colorful or patterned to make a statement and help tie the room together. The great thing about them is that as they are small and moveable, you can change them up from time to time to suit your mood or the seasons. This way, you can refresh the look of a room as often as you like without needing to make a big investment.
