In today’s Internet-driven world, it is not necessary that you have to break your bank and hire top interior designers to transform your home into a “neighbour’s envy” situation. Just by browsing the Internet and visiting various interior decoration sites, you can get a good idea about what should be done. This is regardless of whether it is merely a cosmetic touch-up or something more significant. At times, the smallest things and changes make a high impact. It can be an addition of a lamp or a plant that will brighten up a room. Sometimes, merely a coat of paint is enough without changing the furniture or fittings or the carpet.

Here are a few design ideas that will inspire you to transform your home in tune with your personality.

Start with the paint

Any room, large or small should look airy with plenty of natural light and a feeling of being spacious. This is possible if you have light coloured walls and large windows. Even rooms that are somewhat cramped will have the illusion of being bigger if you do up the walls in very light pastel shades. Make use of large mirrors to amplify the natural light pouring in. It also helps to enhance the illusion of space. On the other hand, a room with dark shades on the walls will look boxed-in even with a lot of natural light and mirrors.  

Mix and match for effect

No interior designer ever discards radically the old for the new. Instead, the fad is to mix it up – the patterns and the textures, the expensive and the inexpensive and the old and the new. There is no harm in an antique Chippendale desk existing along with the ultra-modern couch that you have picked up. One is a family heirloom that tells a story of previous generations; the other is your life and style.

When you are designing your home, ensure that it reflects your personality and there is no reason why the old and the new cannot coexist beautifully. With rugs and pillows, variations in colour and patterns will bring in warmth and texture to your home. The same goes for paintings too – a Salvador Dali will go very well with a Monet.

Wicker furniture and baskets

Wicker furniture and baskets border on the unconventional and is a great way to make your home stand out from the crowd. Bed headsets, centre tables, hanging chairs and side tables have a unique sophistication. Wicker baskets are a great way to store toys, towels, blankets and can be used to display your much-loved books. Wicker baskets can be placed on kitchen tables to store and display fruits and vegetables beautifully. Visit the website of The Family Love Tree for an incredible range of wicker products.

Apart from these design ideas, you can try something novel and exclusive that suits your style of living. Nature lovers can add plants and green to the living space while the adventurists can have wildlife paintings on the walls. For decorating your home, you should only be limited by the extent of your imagination.
