How do you define your personal style?
You may not consider yourself as an interior designer, but you sure do have your own design preferences. Having bought a new home is a wonderful chance for you to start personalizing your home from a clean slate. Sure, personal style does not require the skills of a professional. However, how can you combine your style with the technicalities of a home design?
Here are some quick tips to help you:
Find Inspiration
If you’re not quite sure about what kind of interior design you’d like to have, it’s important to find inspiration. In this social media generation, finding design motivation is more convenient. Try looking for inspirational designs in social media channels such as Instagram and Pinterest. You can create an account and a board on Pinterest where you can pin interior design photos for future references.
Focus On Colors
What are your favorite colors? Use it as your home’s main color theme! If you’re not familiar with color palettes, you may need the help of a professional to help choose the right colors for your home (this includes the furniture, appliances, lighting, etc). Working with colors is always a fun task.
Show Your Hobbies
Maybe you spend your free time painting landscapes. Or, perhaps you love to collect photos from the golden age of Hollywood. Just determining your hobbies alone is a brilliant way to decorate your home according to your personal style. Incorporate the thing you always love to do in your windows, doors, bedroom floor, and even your ceiling. You’ll have a feeling of satisfaction every time you come home from work.
Go Unconventional
Since you want to add your personal style to your interior design, it’s better to ditch the conventional. When choosing materials, be sure that it has a personal touch to it – whether it’s the carpet, the bedside table, or even your chandelier. Don’t settle for what you think is ‘okay’ or ‘normal’ – go for what makes your home, home.
Live Your Fantasy
So what if you haven’t been to the outer space? If you dream of being an astronaut but never really plan to be one, why not make your home look like you actually are. There’s nothing wrong with having a fantasy and living it. Maybe you’re a fan of The Big Bang Theory, go and recreate your new home to look like the set of the show. It would be a waste of time to worry about what others might think about your home.
