Are you passionate about decoration? Looking for ideas for optimizing your decor arranging your furniture in your home? Want some style tips?
Good news: we've prepared this handy guide for you. We’ll advise you and give you ideas.
Furniture are essential elements in home decoration. It's important to fully integrate them into your decor style.
Without further ado, here are 5 tips that will help you create a unique and personalized decor!
Tip 1: Find unique furniture
If you want to add character to your rooms, nothing beats unique and original furniture. These are central pieces that will create a true atmosphere.
Go for unique pieces, such as handmade furniture. You can also find slightly older furniture to add a touch of authenticity and personality to your home. Nowadays, we tend to always buy the same type of furniture, lacking real personality.
Let’s take an example with one of the most popular pieces: the wardrobe. This item is a real asset for your decor if it’s unique and fits your personality and your interior. So, prefer a genuine custom-made wardrobethat will be modular and customizable as you wish.
Remember that a unique piece exists only in your home. Not only does it bring charisma to your decor, but it is very original. It's ideal for telling a story.
Tip 2: Put the right furniture in the right place
Managing your space is important. You need to find the right balance between optimization and pleasing aesthetics.
Start by measuring the available space in your rooms. This will prevent you from buying furniture that's the wrong size. Also, many people overload their rooms. You have to be able to judge when there are too many pieces of furniture—keep it simple.
Take the decoration style into account: nautical? Modern? Industrial? Scandinavian? Contemporary? In any case, your furniture must harmonize with the style and the colors.
By the way, that leads perfectly to our next tip…
Tip 3: Play with colors
The color of furniture can have a significant impact on the atmosphere of a room. Some colors will create a warm space, others more modern, vintage, etc.
Here are some tips to help you create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing space:
- Choose a coherent color paletteGenerally speaking, it's best to have a maximum of three colors, with two dominant ones. Moreover, these colors should harmonize well together. Avoid questionable mixes (like yellow and pink, for example) and favor beautiful combinations (like blue and white, for example).
- Use furniture as central piecesAs we saw earlier, these central pieces set the tone. In a living room, it's the sofa that rules. So, choose one of the two dominant colors for this piece of furniture. A blue sofa next to a white wall, for example, is a good choice.
- You can also play with natural brightnessIf your room gets plenty of natural light, you can afford to choose brighter, more radiant colors.
Color selection is all about common sense; you need to understand which colors go well together and which are incompatible.
Tip 4: Match your furniture with a relevant and thematic decor
As you surely know, there are a lot of other decorative elements you can pair with your furniture.
The painting for example, is one of the most interesting decorations for bringing a room to life. We offer plenty on our website, organized by categories.
Depending on the decorative style, you can choose relevant paintings. For example, imagine you want to create a zen atmosphere—a Buddha painting is a good solution.
There are other decorative elements to consider: stickers, curtains, rugs...
Tip 5: Follow the latest trends!
Stay on the cutting edge of style to give shine to your decor and impress your guests. Following the latest trends in furniture and decor can give you inspiration.
If we look at the evolution of decor, recent years have seen a trend toward minimalist design. There's a return to natural materials, such as wood. Indoor green plants have also been popular for several decades now.
Final word: choose furniture and decor that suits you
This is really the most important thing to respect.
Choose a decoration that suits your universe, matches your personality and your tastes. You should feel at home, at ease, in your own bubble. It's when you express what you love that you create beautiful things.
If you’re not comfortable with contemporary decor but want to follow a trend, it’s going to show. On the other hand, if you love vintage, more classic styles... You’ll probably find wonderful ideas for your decor.
