No one is born a designer, but every person can stylishly decorate the interior of their home using their intuition, expert advice, training their wits and borrowing ideas from interiors created by professionals.
People who managed to create an elegant and stylish design without a specialist are happy to share life hacks.
Find your style
There are many interior styles that are created according to certain rules. You can choose one of them, study it thoroughly and repeat it in your home.
But it is much more interesting to create your own unique style that will match your character. It is much more difficult, but more interesting, and the result will be worth the effort.
Make your home an extension of yourself
Designer interiors are often so perfect that all individuality is lost.
When you enter such a house, you see a picture from a fashion magazine, and not a homey atmosphere that reflects the character of the residents.
Houses where every item says something about its owner, tells about his past, shows his dreams and hobbies look much more elegant.
Handicrafts, a vase brought back from a trip, family photos, a portrait of a pet, sports attributes as decor - all this tells a fascinating story about the owner of the house, his family and hobbies. The main thing here is not to overdo it, since there is only one step from individuality to clutter.
Don't be afraid of bright colors
Most modern interiors are done in muted tones. It is beautiful due to its strictness and conciseness, but not to everyone's taste. Don't be afraid of saturated colors.
Some interior styles require brightness and richness. But even if you have a strict, laconic design, bright accents placed with the help of decor will benefit it.
Make a chic hallway
It just so happens that the hallway is considered to be something like a utility room. It is decorated simply, practically and template-like.
A bright, unusual hallway, decorated in a way that is not customary, will immediately “break the pattern”.
Instead of a nondescript hallway, make something original and memorable.
For example, in French houses, the owner's individuality begins to manifest itself already in the hallway. There, this room is considered a full-fledged part of the house and a lot of attention and time is devoted to its design.
The secret of an elegant interior is in the details. The rules that professionals follow should not be ignored, but the unique atmosphere and charm of the house is given by the individuality, which is a reflection of the soul of the owner. That is why amateur houses often look more cozy and attractive than those created by a designer according to all the rules.
