When it comes to your home, it all comes down to you to your personal taste on how you decorate. Some people like fancy bright colors, other’s like a more minimal look. I prefer a lot of shades of pink combined with teal and white, especially in my bedroom and office space.
Whatever your taste is, you could always enhance the way your home looks with how you style it. In addition, certain areas of the home can make a real statement and this is where you can have some fun with interior styling and design.
For example, the statement space in my room is the sitting area. And, the leopard accents are what jump out to the eye in my living room. I love it and feel great about it. The truth is your home should be a place that you feel proud of. Because of this, I intentionally included how I wanted to feel in my home in my Lifebook.
Whether you have saved really hard to be able to afford to buy your home or whether you rent and look after it just as you would your own, your home can be a reflection of who you are and what your personality is like. With that in mind, here are some of the ways that you can enhance some of the areas of your home to make bold statements with your interior styling and design.
Your Bed
Your bed is one of the easiest ways to style up your bedroom. It’s possibly the biggest piece of furniture in that particular room so it’s easy to catch the eye of anyone entering the bedroom.
A great way of styling this part would be to add cushions and throws to the bed. Bright colored pillows that will emulate your theme and match in with any decor is a good place to start.
For example, Bed, Bath & Beyond has tons of affordable and gorgeous throw pillows.
You could even opt for a plain bed sheet which would mean that the bright pillows and blankets become the main styling feature.
Your Bedroom in General
Often your bedroom is a forgotten room and isn’t a priority when it comes to decoration because you are likely the only ones to use it. Because of this you may choose to focus your attention on areas where guests will see.
But this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a space in your home just for you. Whether you invest in new bedroom furniture such as the Apex collection or whether you change the colors and add some new soft furnishings to the whole space, take time to make the bedroom a priority for you.
A Living Space
Your living space can feel expansive. This can make the room quite difficult to style in general. Especially because it can have a multi-purpose use from entertaining to relaxing. And, right now with children being taught in the home due to COVID-19, your living room space may very well double as a classroom.
You could use the same principle as your bed and accessorize your sofa with cushions and blankets, especially during the different seasons or holidays.
Something else to consider is adding a few key pieces of furniture to the room that will draw the attention away from any mundane walls and spaces. In this instance, for example, you could add a whole new dynamic to the room by adding a statement coffee table or a beautiful accent chair.
Your Hallway and Entrance
This is the space of your house that someone sees first, so you may want to make a good impression. To go about this, consider bright and clean walls. A color too dark will make any space feel small.
You could then style it up by adding a long rug in a different color to contrast, over by even adding beautiful artwork to the walls.
Another alternative is to use the entrance and stair walls to add family photographs. It’s a great place for a photo montage wall or highlighting some of your favorite artwork.
A Reading Nook
Styling a bookcase or reading nook can be a lot of fun. If you are blessed to have a little space in your home dedicated to reading or housing books, then you are already halfway there to styling up this space.
A lovely way to add something a little different to this area is to think of the lighting. A smart lamp or shade will make such a difference to a reading area.
Even a lovely chair or stool to highlight the fact that what you use the area for. Small changes could really enhance this space in your home and make it a more functional space.
Your Child’s Bedroom
Lastly, don’t forget your children’s bedrooms. These should be the easiest and most fun to style. But more often than not they can appear cluttered and very disorganized. To combat this or to check out ideas, consider these many theme ideas available on sites like Pinterest. These pins and ideas inspire you to create something different, as well as give your tips on organization.
