How To Design Your Home's Interior

By Johnathan Black


Everybody is always looking to make changes to their home, but the problem is they never know where to begin or what to do. Most of the time a few simple solutions are out there that doesn't require much skill, and in the article below you will read about some simple and creative interior design tips.

When choosing a color palette for your room, use no more than three colors. When decorating, follow the 60-30-10 rule. 60% of the room should be a dominant color, 30% a secondary color, and 10% an accent color. More than 3 colors can make the room start to look busy.

Think about mixing in different colors and patterns to your design to make the space more vibrant. Patterns and textures can serve as great accent pieces, particularly on smooth surfaces like glass or wood. Contemporary patterns and modern textures add an elegant appeal to any space.

Start with a fresh coat of paint. Paint is inexpensive and can make a big change to a room in just a few hours. Go to your local home store and get swatches. Then, come home and imagine what each swatch would look like, and how it would blend with the furniture and other rooms in your home. Choose one and see how different your room looks!

Try adding plants to your room. You'll be surprised at how much more lively, yet calming; a room can become just by adding a simple plant to the room. A single plant, properly placed, can really set the mood and bring a room together. Just don't forget to water it!

If you have an open floor plan, try to pick a theme that flows throughout your home. Not everything in your home needs to match, but there should be something that ties each room together. Clashing or contrasting designs will make your home look cluttered and will detract from the beauty of each individual room.

If you are redesigning your kitchen, think outside the box when it comes to counter tops. Granite is the number one choice, but there are other great options including cork or concrete. Also, these materials will not break the bank, which allows you to use money on other things.

As previously mentioned, many people are intimidated by the thought of starting an interior design project. If you have the correct information, however, you have no need to fear any design project. Keep the advice in this piece close at hand, and you will never be at a loss for ideas that will make your home a truly spectacular place.
