If you can not afford to hire an interior decorator to work on the ambiance of your home, believe in yourself, you are able to do it yourself. Of course, a decorator will find the perfect accessories for your pieces, but if you know some basic tricks, you will be able to successfully create the little nest you so desire.
We found professional tips on the web, here are 7 valuable tips from decorators that you should apply.
4. Make sure to value your couch.
To put your couch in value, you should place square cushions in each corner. You should :
- have a cushion with a larger pattern (about 50 cm by 50 cm)
- have cushions of bright colors (40 cm by 40 cm) that fit together.
- Place the cushions in the corners two cushions.
Know where to place your frames.
We tend to hang our frames a little higher than we should, because we want to see them. On the other hand, these should never be more than 20 cm above our furniture.
3. Don’t over load.
To create a visually healthy balance, you should put 60% of your books vertically and 40% horizontally. On the other hand, no horizontal battery should exceed the vertical one in terms of height, otherwise it will give an overload effect.
The addition of green plant can be interesting, but not that of flowers that will come to fly space unnecessarily.
Mirrors are your best friends.
The best way to make a small space look larger is to use a mirror. In fact, it should ideally be placed at eye level so that the eye has the impression that the room is larger at a glance.
By placing it directly in front of a window, one will also have more light in the room which will give the illusion that there is more space.
2. A carpet? Think about it first.
A carpet can fit well into your decor as it can hurt it. It all depends on where you place it.
- In a living room, place it so that it is under your front legs of sofa, but that it is accessible to your feet.
- In a room, the carpets can delineate two distinct sections.
Pick the right colors.
As the Reader’s digest says, “When you choose your palette, think that the dominant color will cover 60% of the room, secondary color 30% and accent color 10%. ”
If you want your room that stands out from the others, choose your dominant color on your walls. Then the fabrics will be 30% secondary color and patterned cushions will be the remaining 10%.
1. Think about round table for small a room.
If you run out of space, you can opt for a round table. It will give more space, because you can put it against a wall.
To ensure that it is large enough, it always counts 90 cm of width per person.
