[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text wrap_with_class=”no”]Do You Wish To Transform Your Home? Here Are Some Handy Tips From An Interior Designer

If you feel like your home or living space is in need of a makeover, then one of the best things that you can do is speak to an interior designer. They can come to your house or apartment, give it a once-over, and tell you what you’re doing right and where things could use some improvement. But even if you don’t have the budget to hire an interior designer, you can still use some of these top tips that are industry standards.

 

Soften Hardwood Floors with Area Rugs

There is something comforting and stable about hardwood floors. They feel timeless. You might need something to offset them though, and that’s when you should consider an area rug. They can add personality, color, and texture to a room. Area rugs can offer both fun and function, according to an interior designer who loves to use them. You can try several different ones of varying fabrics and patterns to showcase your unique character and sensibilities.

 

Use Paint or Wallpaper on Your Bookcases

Bookcases are primarily for the storage of your literary collection, but they also take up a lot of space in a room. They don’t need to be drab and unexciting. You can wallpaper over them or add a coat of paint that compliments the other colors in the room. Applying paint to somewhere in a room can lend an unexpected splash of color where one is needed. If you don’t have a bookcase in the room but want to paint something for that much-needed color effect, mantels, the insides of closets, hallways, and ceilings are all viable options.

 

Add Plants

Going green doesn’t have to mean adding solar panels to a house or driving a hybrid car. You can bring some plant life into a room and completely change the feel of it. The interior designer we spoke to insisted that a home with no plants would always feel incomplete. They are inexpensive, and they can add color, texture, and a pleasant aroma as well if you choose the right varieties. They also absorb harmful gasses and pollutants from the air. Speak to a greenhouse employee if you’re unsure about what kinds to get, and be sure to water them the proper amount.

Interior design does not have to be intimidating if you try these simple improvements to your home. It won’t cost you very much, and you’ll be pleased by the transformation of your living space into something elegant and vibrant[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
