Decorating a personal space can be fun and intimidating. With a few tricks any space can be personalized to your taste. From a bedroom to an office, let your personality show with design flair!
Playing with Patterns
When decorating a room, you don’t have to use matching patterns. Make it fun by using contrasting patterns, such as bold horizontal and vertical stripes mixed with a diamond pattern. While this design choice may seem daunting, keep it pleasing to the eye by sticking with a palette of a just two colors. This will keep the graphic pattern simple and interesting, without being overwhelming.
Get Quirky
If you find a piece of furniture or art that is hard to resist but may not fit with your existing décor, don’t be afraid to incorporate into your home. It’s perfectly okay to take risks with your design choices. A one-of-a-kind piece that stands out in a space showcases your personality and adds a touch of fun.
Be Bold with Colors
While many people go with neutrals to play it safe with design choices, don’t be afraid to inject color to unexpected spaces. Why not use bold colors, like red or green, in a space such as the kitchen? They will impact the room and provide a playful touch. It’s relatively easy and affordable to change down the road if you want a different color.
Love Wallpaper
If you find a pattern of wallpaper that really speaks to you, it’s perfectly okay to use it with abandon. Go ahead and put it on the walls as well as the ceiling of a room. Be forewarned: this is not a design choice for everyone. It works best if you really love the pattern. It will make for a visually appealing space that you will find yourself drawn to and may never want to leave.
One Fabric Rules
Using the same fabric pattern in a room may seem like an easy decorating choice, but it takes mastery to pull off the look without overwhelming the space. A matching pattern on various pieces, such as a duvet cover and curtains, can bring a look of refined symmetry to your room. If you don’t want to reach overkill territory, incorporate small pieces of a similar pattern that will compliment the space while adding balance.
Take a Walk on the Dark Side
Don’t let dark colors for an interior room intimidate you. The rich hue of a black wall lends a sophisticated style to just about any room. A dark accent wall adds a fantastic graphic effect, especially if it is used to showcase artwork. You can start small by adding black accents, such as pillows, candlesticks or artwork frames, in your space. If you like the punch of color it adds to the room take the plunge and paint a wall or the entire room!
