Your home is your pride and you should design and decorate it in such a way that it defines your personality and ideologies in the most outright way possible!

Now, if you are not keen to hire a professional to do interiors for your space (budget woes, maybe) but want to achieve the same finesse as an expert would be able to provide, then fret not. We are here to guide you over some easy-to-replicate decor hacks that will help you add a wow factor to your home!

Paint the Front Door

The front door of your home is the first thing anyone notices when they visit your space. Add a refreshing touch to the front door by painting it in either a vibrant or subtle color. Ensure to match the hue with the exterior paint and trim colors of the door. You can also elevate the door by layering it with a plush veneer or laminate option!

Give Each Room a Focal Point

From the living room, bedroom, and lounge room, to dining space; each room in your home should feature a focal point. It could be a stunning fireplace, an accent wall, or a serene view through floor-to-ceiling windows. Identify the same and elevate it by arranging the furniture and accessories around the same.

Create a Layered Lighting Plan

It is crucial to add three types of lighting in all the rooms in your home. Include ambient lights with recessed lights, downlights, or ceiling fixtures like chandeliers that provide for room-wide illumination. Task lights can be added with pendant lights, a table lamp, or a floor lamp. And finally, accent lights can be featured with wall sconces to accentuate a chosen object. The layered lights will help achieve the polished look for sure!

Feature Nature

Houseplants are the easiest and most thoughtful way to introduce nature into your space. Select from beautiful indoor plant options and nestle them inside eye-catching planters. Be creative and place multiple plants in one space. Decorate the coffee table, side tables, shelves, study table, or more such surfaces with mini plants and succulents. Add floor plants to decorate the empty corners!

Add Mirrors to add an Expansive Look

Mirrors are a great decor accessory to visually expand the small, compact, or dark area or room. Hang mirrors perpendicular to the windows to reflect the light perfectly across the room. Select mirrors from attractive shapes, designs, and frames to make it work like an accent piece!

Mix and Match Furniture Pieces

It is pretty simple and basic to match the couch with an armchair, loveseat, or ottoman. But if want to define the space like an interior expert, then start taking design risks. Mix and match furniture pieces to add depth and visual interest to any chosen room. For example, in the living room, you can pair the neutral-tone sofa with side chairs featuring a fun fabric!

Go for Bigger Artwork

The bigger the artwork, the better the impression! Yes, that's the decor rule most designers follow to elevate the look of a space. Instead of adding too many small artworks on the wall, select one large-size wall art and accentuate the wall. It could be a canvas painting, framed photograph or sculpture; select the artwork that appeals to you and blends well with the existing or chosen interior theme and colour palette of the space.

Edit the Space a Bit

When decorating the space, it is possible to feel overwhelmed or get carried away by adding too many things just to feature your personal choice or preference. But in fact, a space can have an inspiring feel when you define it with well-curated and thoughtful design and decor elements. Scan your home and edit a few pieces to avoid the crowded feel. Guard the "less is more" decor mantra!
