Room Additions
There’s no greater focal point to any room than an adventurous piece of artwork. No matter how unique, vibrant, or outlandish the artwork is, choose a piece that excites you, regardless of how well it matches the rest of your home! Not only is this a great way to incorporate your own touch of personality into your home, but artwork can easily be removed or switched out without making any significant changes to the design of your room. If you’re unsure what artwork you enjoy, consider attending a local art auction, purchasing a print online with various shapes, textures, and colors, or making some yourself! From elegantly framed drawings from your children to a homemade wall of mirrors, anything can be considered art, so experiment until you find something you enjoy.
While you may be the type of homeowner that wants all of your materials to match, incorporating a wide range of textures, colors, and materials can help curate an upscale, dramatic feel. Assess your comfortability with making bold design choices and save the larger, more permanent changes for the future. Begin by making minor updates, such as replacing the knobs on your kitchen cabinets, and work your way up to larger, more invasive projects, such as updating the cabinetry altogether. When done well, a playful kitchen with contrasting backsplashes and colored cabinets can really enhance the overall feel of your home! Starting with something small allows you more space to experiment with your creativity and determine which textures and materials you like.
Oversized lighting is a great design risk, especially in more formal rooms of your house, such as the dining room. While lighting has historically been an overlooked aspect of the design phase, more and more homeowners have turned to statement lighting this past year as a unique way to personalize their homes. Because lighting is not a one-size-fits-all, it’s up to you to determine how large you want to scale your lighting and its intended purpose. From large, multi-light pendants to cascading chandeliers, your lighting should act as the jewelry of the room by pulling together the rest of your space!
Matching doesn’t always mean better—especially when it comes to interior design. Put the days of matching living room couches and complementary bedroom sets behind you; mixing different styles and pieces of furniture can actually make your home feel more curated and elegant. Not to mention, purchasing unique, individual pieces can save you money down the road if you choose to redecorate, as some of your furniture will likely still be useful!
