Every person who wants to make their house a home has certain must have items. Sometimes it’s practical things like a chair, and sometimes it’s more decorative items like paintings or framed photos. And then there are the items that are just plain fun – like scented candles, or fun little knickknacks from your travels. What are some of the must have home decor items that you think everyone should have?
Basics of Decorating
Decorating a home can be difficult because it requires a lot of creativity and thoughtful decision-making. When decorating, the most important things to consider are color scheme, theme, and how the furnishings will make each room coexist together. The first thing to think about when designing is color scheme. Choosing colors for your space can be a daunting task. However, if you start out with the goal in mind of what you want to accomplish, then choosing colors should be much easier. For example, if you are looking for a calming space to relax after work, then blue and green will evoke that feeling better than say red and orange.
Decorating can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. There are a few basic rules that you should follow when decorating your home. One of these is to start with a theme. For example, if you want an elegant look, your focus should be on using neutral colors and fabrics. You should also keep in mind the room’s purpose and make sure that the decorations are appropriate for that space. After you have the basics down, then you can get creative with your designs!
DIY Projects
One of the great things about DIY projects is that they can be personalized to the homeowner’s taste. A great example of this is when we made a couple banisters for our staircase. Not only did it save us money, but we also got to set the height and width that fit our needs better than generic store-bought ones would have.
DIY projects are great for home décor and can be done on-the-fly. They allow you to customize your home decor to fit your style and any space in your house. Some of our favorite DIYs are the succulent garden, wine bottle vases, terrariums, and painting a canvas.
Trends in Home Decorating
Many people are returning to home decor items that come from our past such as shag carpeting. Shag carpets have a high pile and are often used in homes with a retro or Bohemian style. Some other popular trends include materials like wood, metal, and concrete which have been popular lately.
Home decor trends are always changing. It’s important to stay on top of current trends to ensure that your home is up-to-date and inviting. Grey, beige, and white will be the colors to watch out for in the next year or so. Black and metallic accents are also trending now but won’t be popular for too much longer.
Grey furniture is increasing in popularity because it looks sleek and modern without being too cold or stark. The grey color creates visual space that creates a calming feeling in the home.
Organization Tips
Organization can be as simple as decluttering your home. Start by getting rid of the items you no longer use but also make sure to keep some sentimental pieces. By organizing your bedroom, living room, and kitchen, you can easily create more space without spending money on a larger house. In the bedroom, store items in drawers and on shelves according to type and category. If you have a dresser or closet in your bedroom, use it wisely by storing clothes according to season for easy access. Make sure to clear off any furniture that is used for displaying things like pictures or books so that every piece is put to good use. Organization doesn’t just happen in small spaces either! The same principles apply around the house too.
There is nothing worse than walking into a house or apartment and having no idea where anything is. When you just need to grab a quick snack, you should be able to find it without searching through a dozen kitchen drawers. Below are some tips for organizing your home so that everything has its own place:
– Keep your living room clear of clutter
– Make sure that pantry items are close to the pantry
– Label all of your belongings with their name and date
– Create a home office space where you can store important paperwork
Conclusion
The most important item for making any house a home is love.
In conclusion, I think that when you’re decorating a new home with your style in mind, the best way to start is to find a great piece that will act as the anchor for your space. From there, the rest of your decor can flow seamlessly.
