Many people try to copy what's trendy rather than trusting their own personal style in decorating a home and then realising the look doesn't last. Use your instinct when selecting home interior and don't let the latest trends influence your choice.
Style tip:
Furniture should complement lifestyle, taste and need without having to compromise. So make the most of the options in design, size, colour, materials and functionality. It's as simple as that.
Space is good
Does your living room look like the furniture has been dropped there by coincidence? Don't place rugs in the living area that are too small; it will make your furniture look like it's scattered around the room.
Make some space around your furniture. If you have a large living room it could be a good idea to place your sofa in the middle of the room. This will add a new and different look to the room and you will avoid the feeling that the sofa is pressed into a corner or up against the wall.
A clear idea
Don't use more than two different veneers on your furniture in the same room. This way the governing idea of the room will be much clearer.
Do not place your sofa in front of a heater as the heat can ruin the structure of the fabric.
Turn down the volume and add some character to your room with a rug. Exciting patterns, natural materials, striking colours and beautiful textures will soften your floor.
Create contrasts
Pile on the cushions in same colours of the spectrum and play with the endless varieties of gorgeous materials and beautiful patterns. Cushions can be very characteristic on their own, but together they complement one another.
Create contrasts by mixing old stuff with new, for example cool clean pieces with rustic pieces etc.
Expressive storage
Use different kinds of bookshelves and arrange the books in colour range to create a more harmonious look.
Or create the opposite dynamic look by mixing the books with personal things, plants etc.
