Viewing your new home is one thing, but when you actually move in, and all of the previous owners’ furniture has been removed, it can feel like a daunting task. Finding your new home is incredibly exciting, but when it comes to decorating, it can be a little overwhelming to know where to begin. Here are our interior design tips to help you get started.
Colour And Size Of Your Room
The size of your room needs to be considered when it comes to choosing the colour palette for your home. You should consider lighter colours for smaller rooms as it will make them seem larger than they are by creating the illusion of more space. However, this doesn’t mean you need floor to ceiling shades of white, play with colour to give your room personality. Darker colours, on the other hand, can make a room feel smaller, but you can change the look of your room by adding darker soft furnishings so that you aren’t having to compromise on your preferred colour palette.
Decorative Mirrors Can Add Light To Your Space
Decorative mirrors can add light to your space if you place it opposite a window so it can perfectly reflect light into your room. Mirrors can also help to make a room feel bigger. Choose a large mirror to reflect more of your space, or position it so that it reflects your garden area and brings in natural light and the freshness of the green outdoors.
Create A Mix!
A good way to change the feel of your home, especially if you are renting and don’t have as many decorating options, is by creating layers of interest. By mixing patterns and textures, or by contrasting vintage with new finds, is a great way to express your style and interests. Our clients from all around Cheshire have found that by collaborating with our interior designers, they have been able to transform their apartment and create the feeling of home they were looking for.
Use The Items You Already Have
Once you begin to unpack you can really begin to evaluate what items will still work in your new apartment. It could be a beautiful piece of modern art that will complement your dining area and add interest, or a chandelier that will create a bold feature in your bedroom. Showcase the things you have collected and use them as a starting point when selecting new pieces that will compliment your interior design choices and the style of your new home.
