Always Have Carpets And Rugs

Notes:

• Rugs and carpets are in almost every home for functional and aesthetic purposes. For the former, floors add warmth to what would otherwise be cold floors. For the latter, nothing ties a space together more than rugs or carpets do. They make dull and empty-looking floors look more put-together.

• Therefore, don’t forget to add carpets and rugs to your home décor shopping list. These are great for your entryway, foyer, living space, and bedroom. Your character shines based on the style of carpets you go for, as this also usually depends on the overall feel or theme you have for your home.

• Some analysis from the photo above:

  [ scroll back up ]

  • the one key advantage of carpeting and rugs is its softness – especially for children (and adults) who like to crawl and play on the floor.
  • another advantage is the color and patterns that can be added to accent a cold floor such as hardwood, tile and concrete.
  • but carpets do come with disadvantages – and wall-to-wall carpeting is generally not used in kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas where wood floors dominate.
  • however, you may find wall-to-wall carpeting in bedrooms – where a warm, soft floor is a welcome feel when waking in the morning.

• • What Type of Flooring to Consider:

    Are you moving to a new place or planning on remodeling your home? Then you need to pay special attention to every detail. However, something that may seem insignificant, like floors, actually plays a huge role in the way your entire home looks!

    You can paint the walls and change the furniture all you want, but if you have old and worn-out floors, your space won’t look as good as you imagined it. So, what can you do? You can pick better floors for your home!

Choose Furniture Wisely

Notes:

• While buying antique furniture is a fail proof method of adding character to a home, this doesn’t mean the antique store is the only place to shop for furniture. On that note, avoid crossing the line of having all-antique furnishings; otherwise, your home will also start looking like a shop.
• You can preserve the beautiful history that comes with every antique piece by only having a few here and there. You don’t have to feel compelled to shop all at once. It’s normal for your home to feel ‘lacking’ or empty, at least during the first two to three years.

• Little by little, you can collect pieces from vintage stores and even your travels, each serving as unique conversation pieces in your home.
• When you’re intentional with your furniture and design choices, you get that sense of confidence from handpicking every piece. While the home’s frame or shell may be like other homes, the interior feels unique because of how well you’ve put it all together.

  • some ideas to using furniture pieces to spruce up a room.
  • start with a sofa or chair – perhaps something mid-century – accented by varying tables such as a wired coffee and wood side table.
  • blend these two elements together by using using a wired wall plant stand and on the opposite side, a wood planter stand.

• • Deciding Interior Styling:

    Derterming the type of furniture for a particular room should come after you decide the type of styling. Interior design styles range from traditional and classic to modern and minimalistic, each with unique characteristics and aesthetics.

    Finding the right styling for your home can be challenging; but by exploring different styles and considering your personal preferences, you can create a space that truly reflects who you are and the feel for the home.

Mix Up Your Vanities

Notes:

• It’s often the case that new builds usually have the same vanities and hardware from one bathroom or space to the next. There isn’t a lot of variety unless you’ve made specific instructions during the design and consultation process.
• That said, if every bathroom is an exact mirror of the next, you can mix it up through small changes like repainting the cabinet doors or changing the hardware or knobs.

• Remember, you don’t need the same hardware throughout your home. You can play around with textures, with some matte and others glossy. Colors also let you make bold statements. The key is variety, which gives life to an inanimate space.

• Analyzing “the bathroom” from the photo above:

  [ scroll back up ]

  • one of the biggest storage items for the bathroom are bath linens such an towels and wash clothes.
  • you can manage that storage by adding a section with decorative shelving for rolling up and stacking towels for family use.
  • bath cabinets can also be used for storing cosmetics and other hygiene items.
  • use your cabinet space wisely so that personal items can be found quickly.

• • Trying Different Cabinet Hardware:

    As noted, you can mix up your bathroom vanities (along with the kitchen) by using or changing up the hardware for both bathroom vanity and kitchen cabiinets.

    There are two main types of cabinet-pull hardware to work with: 1) knobs, and 2) Handles. There are other types available that might give your bathroom a distinct look. And what’s nice about hardware is the they can be changed out fairly quickly without breaking the budget.

Create A Picture Wall

Notes:

• One of the best things about a new home is there’ll be a lot of blank walls as soon as you move in. Right now, they may not look like much. But if you treat them as one big, blank canvas, your perspective changes; they become the perfect places to hang wall art, paintings, and, of course, pictures.
• As the name suggests, a picture wall is a space where you hang framed photos of everything meaningful to your household. Like furniture and other decorative pieces, it’s a project you don’t have to complete overnight.

• A full picture wall completes the feeling of a house being ‘lived in,’ which is crucial for a proper abode. And since each picture has a different memory to talk about, it’s also the key to properly leaving a mark on your home.
