The average person spends 93 percent of their day indoors. If you are one of those people and spend most of your time at home, having a space you love is critical.
However, creating a space you love and that is unique is not always simple. Different sources will tell you to do this or that; however, it comes down to creating the vibe you want.
If you are looking for stylish ways to enhance your home interiors, keep reading, and we wlll give you ideas to fall in love with.
Add an Indoor Water Feature
Indoor water features are unique and relaxing. Adding stylish indoor water features can help you create a space that can impress your guests if you enjoy entertaining. However, it can also allow you to create a space that is relaxing and that you can use to wind down at the end of a long day.
Indoor water features include wall fountains, table fountains, and water fountains.
Bring the Outdoors Indoors
If you live in a climate where you are forced to spend the bulk of the year indoors, try adding plants to your space. Not only will they create a sense of style, but different plants benefit your physical and mental health.
Working with real plants can sharpen your attention, and it can also be therapeutic. Plants also reduce stress levels which helps your mental and physical health.
Other benefits include the following:
- Improve the quality of your air
- Boost your productivity
- Recover from illnesses quicker
The caveat is that if you have children or pets, you need to be cautious about what plants you choose. Some plants can be dangerous to your human and fur babies.
Make Your Furniture Look Antique
Antique furniture is an excellent way to add some class to your space. You can combine them with traditional pieces and create a stylish eclectic look.
Let’s be honest, though; not everyone can afford antique furniture. For some people, even if you can afford it, it might not be practical if you have pets or children. That does not need to stop you from achieving the same look. You can use paints on your current furniture to give it a classic antique look.
Add Rugs
Adding rugs to your home can help create a stylish look. This is especially true if you have hardwood floors. In addition, it will help keep you more comfortable at home versus walking on bare floors.
There is a caution to this; rugs can present tripping hazards to senior citizens. If you choose to add rugs in a home with an elderly individual, make sure you take precautions, so they do not become hazardous.
You can use rugs to create different seating areas by placing them in a manner that holds different groups of furniture together. In smaller rooms, try a rug that covers most of the floor with just a foot or two of a border left at the edge of the room. Finally, you can also create a tiered look with rugs. You can do this by starting with a bigger rug and stacking smaller rugs on top of it.
Add Art and Accessories
The art and accessories you add to a room are really dependent on your personal style. For example, if you prefer a minimalistic look (which can be very stylish), you will want to choose a few pieces of art or accessories that will not clutter the room. This type of space is great for an indoor water feature.
However, if you prefer a farmhouse design, you can use throws, art, wood accessories, plants, and more to give it a homey look. Remember, no matter your style; you do not want to overdo it. Too much can lead to your space simply looking cluttered.
Use Curtains
Curtains can be used in other areas of your home beyond your windows. They can add instant style; however, you need to keep the look consistent for it to add the stylish look you want.
For example, if you have short blue curtains on your windows, adding long red curtains in your doorway will just look odd. Make sure you match your curtain style.
You can use long curtains in the doorway to a dining space, and you can also use them in your windows. Equally important as color is the choice of curtain fabric, as it can affect both the ambiance and the practicality of a space. Heavier fabrics like velvet can create a more formal, cozy atmosphere, while lighter fabrics like linen offer a breezy, casual look.
Stack Books in Different Ways
Do you have books on display in your space? You could stack them the traditional way; however, even your bookcases can get used to add style to your home, especially if you are willing to get creative.
Try stacking your books in different ways. You can stack some horizontally and some vertically. Doing this helps break up solid lines. It also allows you to add additional decorations to your shelf that can add style as well.
Always Have Books on Your Coffee Table
Adding books to your coffee table can make your room more stylish, but it also serves another function. Books on your coffee table can also function as conversation starters when you have guests over.
You can also place other decorations on the table with your books. For example, you could place fresh flowers in the centre of your coffee table with books displayed on either side of your vase.
Keep Placemats on Your Table
You can add some style to your dining space by always keeping placemats on the table. This helps create a cohesive look in the room.
Make sure you choose placemats with styles and colours that complement the rest of the room. You can even put silverware wrapped in reusable napkins on top of the placemat to add even more style. Add some contrast by choosing a napkin that complements the colour of your placemat but is not the same.
Create a Stylish Home Interior You Will Love
These simple ideas will help you create a stylish indoor space you will love. Just make sure you do not overdo it, and that you are open to shifting things if it does not work.
