I am the type of person who is always wanting to try new layouts and designs around my home. I like to create a new feel in my spaces every so often whether it is following the seasons or finding new style ideas. Here are some tips I have picked up in my design experience.

Have you thought about rearranging your furniture? Sometimes we place furniture in an area of the room that seems convenient but it may not actually be using the space to it’s full potential. I recommend to start by changing one piece of furniture and have fun with testing out different arrangements. Remember that you are the one living there so make sure it works for you. 

A fresh coat of paint can help give your space an elevated feel. Colour can have a big impact on your space whether it is a good or bad one. Colours trends can become outdated but with a quick refresh your room will feel completely different and at little cost. I always draw inspiration from the outdoors whether it is simple greenery or from previous travels. Find what inspires you and what feel you see for your room and draw colours from those inspirations.

Have you considered changing out your linens? Whether it is your throw pillows or blankets, doing so can add a fresh new feel to the space. You can find any of these items at your local home stores at a variety of price ranges. Take two to three colours from your room and bring in different colours, patterns and texture to give the space a finished look. When you change different fabrics to the appropriate season it will help keep your home feeling up to date.

My fourth tip would be to change your artwork. Adding in new art can really change the tone of your space. Our styles can certainly evolve and maybe you have previously sought after bold art but are now drawn to more subtle abstract art with muted colours. Whatever your style is, you can find different artwork at a variety of places including in stores and online. 

My final tip would be to switch out for some different home decor. Find what finishes of decor draws your eye in. Do you like the feel of greenery? Maybe wood tones or metal finishes round out your space. Whatever it is, make sure to have consistency with your decor to give your room a cohesive feel. 

There are many more layers to design that I could go into but starting with basics will be key to your room aesthetic. If you have a room that is needing some help but don’t know where to start then fill in our contact us form and we will be happy to assist you.
