Ready to dive in? Explore these five fresh tips to improve your room design!
1. Frame the Outdoors
Windows are a canvas. They showcase the beauty of everything right outside your home. Whether you’re surrounded by landscape or cityscape, your windows provide a focal point–the outdoors. If you have large windows that do not have window coverings in your home, you face some challenges. For instance, they invite glare, UV rays, and heat inside. Our recommendation is to add some custom window treatments. Designer Banded Shades do an excellent job of offering a chic blend of style and functionality to your space. Their trendy design doesn’t just enhance your space—it transforms your room design, creating a visual connection to the outdoors.
2. Wow-Worthy Accent Walls
If you’re looking for something that will make your guests say, “Wow!” Look no further than a feature wall. You’re injecting personality, dimension and the illusion of a bigger space. There are three main ways that you can do this. Consider a fun wallpaper, rustic shiplap, or vibrant tile patterns. Each choice creates a unique focal point. Just remember that a little goes a long way. By keeping the feature to one wall, you define the space and elevate your room design.
3. Dazzling Light Fixtures
Lighting often fades into the background, quietly serving its purpose. What if we told you that it didn’t have to? Statement lighting can be a true showstopper in your home, bringing elegance and drama to unexpected spaces. Picture a stunning chandelier hanging in your bathroom, nursery, or even laundry room. It’s an instant transformation that redefines the look and feel of your space.
4. Get Bold with Accents
Bold accents in a home bring energy and life into a space that may feel a little bland. If you’re interested in adding bold accents, you can try mixing prints, incorporating textured furniture, or hanging statement art pieces. The trick is to keep it intentional—choose one or two bold accents to create a cohesive look without it becoming overwhelming.
5. Functional Built-In Shelving
Built-in shelving is a room design staple. You see it in living rooms, bedrooms, mudrooms, and offices. It merges organization with style. Built-ins provide a sleek way to store essentials, showcase your decorating style, and maintain a polished look.
