Unfortunately, we do not all have our own personal interior designer. Interior designers know hundreds of tricks on how to use lighting, colors, the architectural design, and patterns to enhance a room. Luckily, there are some styling secrets that can make powerful statements in a room which you may be able to apply yourself. These great ideas add style and character to any room. They are unique but powerful ways to change the rooms overall visual aesthetics and mood. Here are three styling secret you can try to incorporate in your own home:
Color-Blocking
This can be quite challenging. Similar to monochromatic rooms or grayscale rooms which use the exact same color throughout, a color-blocking room does not give the freedom of hue change. This means, if you paint your walls an olive green and put forest green furniture in the room, you are more monochromatic. With this styling secret, if you buy paint for your walls, you would apply it to your trim and some furniture pieces as well. It creates a cohesive design that is stylish and bold.
Painting You Archway
Your archways or entryways in your home also have an opportunity to be expressive. If there are exposed beams of wood with character, you probably should not paint over them; however, drywall beams are great for adding a splash of color. You can be creative and add an accent color on the inside of the archway or entryway beams to spruce up the room. Colors can make a strong statement, so finding powerful places to apply them is critical.
Incorporate Textures
Your home can be more than just visual aesthetic. Textures can powerfully enhance your room’s entire atmosphere. Try putting soft textures where you want to the area to be cozy and hard, sleek textures as creative focal points. Do not be afraid to add different elements like woods, silks, stones, leathers, and rugs into your home. Textures will help make your space a more hands-on experience.
Adding these simple styling secret to your own space is a great start to help enhance your design theme. Colors and textures are important but do not forget to add proper lighting and decor can help as well. Have you tried any of these tricks before in your space?
