Renovations are a lot of fun. They can be challenging, but it’s a great way to learn more about how to decorate and design your room. So in this post, we’re going to take a look at a couple of ways that you can transform your home with impactful renovations you can do yourself to personalize your home.
Picking a color scheme that resonates with you
One of the most impactful renovations you could do is changing the color of your home. This often means different wallpapers, ceiling colors and carpets or tiles. A good color scheme should resonate with you, so decide on what your favorites are and use those as a base. Then, work with complementary colors or combine it with neutral tones if you want something a bit more laid-back.
Statement furniture pieces with custom upholstery
Statement furniture is a great way to add impact to your renovations. One of the easiest ways to add an impact is to use custom upholstery that you’ve personally designed. Take a look at some DIY upholstery tips or consider checking out some bespoke upholstery designers for more ideas.
Unique and colorful wallpaper options
Wallpaper is a great way to add color and personality to a room, but it’s important to choose something that fits with the overall color scheme that you’ve chosen. You can also use fancy patterns that add a lot of style to a room, but it’s important to balance out those kinds of options with something a little more muted so it doesn’t overpower everything else.
Having a large and unique rug
Carpets can add a touch of personality to your room if they’re colored, but you can go a step further if you want something plush and extravagant for your feet. Rugs are usually placed in large open spaces or even underneath tables. This makes them great for a touch of personality to your rooms and makes a huge impact in the overall design.
Add soft furnishings for texture
Texture is an aspect of home renovation and design we don’t often consider – and it is a great idea for us to add some texture to the living room to build up our design and bring depth to it. For example, you could have a wooden floor with a shaggy rug, a marble table and a small plant on top to bring some height as well as texture to the room. On your sofa a well placed blanket along with some cushions is a great way to bring a boring feature into the future and make it feel brand new.
Improve your lighting
Lighting is a feature of the living room a lot of us don’t tend to pay enough attention to but it can make a big impact into the space. Energy companies such as 4change energy can recommend different lights for you to install at home that are more efficient and energy saving as well as being more modern and sleek for your living room design. Switching to LED lights can allow you to enjoy bright natural light in your living room and save money at the same time.
Refresh the walls with paint
It is so important now and again. To make a change to your walls and refresh them for better design. Consider painting your walls a brighter color to bring more personality into the room or even think about a light and neutral color to make the most of minimalism. There are many ways to bring your walls back to life and change the whole dynamic of a room.
Majestic stairs that break the norm
A lovely set of stairs can make all the difference in your home, especially if those stairs are in a central area such as a large room. We recommend checking out services like Designed Stairs to get more ideas on bespoke stair designs. You can choose many different materials, colors and patterns to match the look and feel of the rest of your home.
Beautiful paintings and wall art
Paintings and wall art can add a lot of style and class to virtually any room. It’s important that you look for high-quality pieces that won’t just fade over time due to exposure to sunlight. You also want to pick something that fits the feel of the room, such as a still-life picture if you’re going for a neutral room.
Subtle mixtures of greenery
Lastly, we can’t forget touches of greenery such as potted plants or hanging vines. This usually pairs well with neutral or earthy colors and is a great way to add a splash of color to any home.
