Interest in home improvement projects has never been higher and the possibilities are virtually limitless. It’s a great time to get creative with ideas to give your space a fresh look and feel. Have fun and get inspired making your home cozy, comfortable and totally you!
If you’re ready to tackle a home improvement project the possibilities are endless. Start with the walls: replace that last decade’s wallpaper or give the space a fresh coat of paint. Not sure what color to choose? Pick a hue of your favorite color or one with a trending hue. Choosing an accent wall in a bold palette can dramatically change the look and feel of a room.
The ceiling can be one of the most overlooked areas of a room, but you can make a huge statement with ceiling fixtures or a striking chandelier. If you’re feeling a little extra special, why not wallpaper just the ceiling, or just add a colorful crown molding?
The right pieces of furniture can enhance the look and feel of a room, but picking the right pieces for your lifestyle and aesthetic can be tricky. The key here is to strike the perfect balance between function and style. To maximize the impact of each piece, pick items in complementary colors that speak to your personal style.
For windows, experiment with statement pieces like heavy curtains or unique valances. Go further and opt for an unexpected window treatment, like an undulating roman shade or even an eclectic tapestry. Thoughtful window treatments can help enhance a room and provide a glimpse at the unique style of the homeowner.
Add warmth and an inviting atmosphere with area rugs that make a space the ultimate cozy feel. Area rugs can be a great way to tie a room together or make it feel extra luxe. Use rugs with bold patterns and textures that complement your current décor and utilitarian items.
Fill surfaces with meaningful décor pieces that tell a story. Put your own stamp on the room with sculpture, books, plants, and other carefully-selected pieces that show just who you are. Plant life can instantly soften hard edges or edges, like modern furniture can get a softer touch with the addition of an airy potted plant in the corner.
And if you ever feel stuck, don’t forget that help is out there – try attending a virtual design event or enlisting the help of an interior design expert. Whether this is your first time DIY-ing or you’re a seasoned veteran, getting creative with your home improvement projects is an incredibly rewarding experience – and there are so many different ways to make a space your own.
