An interior that has not changed for years can become so boring to its owner that it begins to cause irritation.
In this case, due to the lack of funds for a major renovation, it is necessary to skillfully refresh it, introduce new details, modern and stylish, but without compromising the functionality of the space.
The article will tell you about the little things that can breathe new life into your home.
Decorated elements
A few decorative elements introduced into a boring and outdated interior will quickly enliven the space and add a bit of individual character to it.
Photos in identical minimalist frames, paintings and posters, live exotic plants, textiles, a row of pillows on the sofa and much more change the atmosphere. It is worth trying to experiment with different textures, but do not exceed their number. More than 3 textures will make the interior chaotic.
Working on lighting
The most important detail of the interior is lighting, but it is often not given due attention. Meanwhile, it is light that will help you learn to perceive boring textures as something new and accentuated.
For example, you can direct overhead light onto wooden panels or stone or brickwork, achieving interesting highlights on the texture, or illuminate a poster on the wall with neon light, presenting it as a piece of modern art. It is also worth adding lighting to all work areas, thinking about lamps that will make staying in any corner of the house comfortable.
Mirrors
Many people underestimate mirrors or refuse to use them because they are difficult to maintain. But they do more than just create the effect of visually expanding space and glare on surfaces.
Mirrors are perceived as something expensive and stylish. It is worth trying to create a gallery of mirrors of different shapes and sizes on a free wall. The room will immediately become more expensive and comfortable. Moreover, they combine beauty and practicality, becoming a useful accessory in any room.
Books
A source of knowledge is not the only function of books in the understanding of interior designers. Beautiful covers, different formats and an interesting palette can present printed publications as a stylish interior item.
Books should be placed on a shelf, hanging or built into a furniture group. They also look great stacked on a coffee table.
They go well with numerous accessories, such as figurines, photo frames, and pots with green plants, allowing you to create light compositions, changing them even every day for variety.
Rearranging furniture
Often the interior becomes boring due to the uniform location of upholstered furniture. Moving the sofa or armchairs will allow you to change the feeling of the space of the room.
Perhaps a person does not even realize that a sofa shifted to the center of the room looks much more comfortable and is generally more convenient in terms of functionality. Smaller pieces of furniture, such as shelves, coffee tables, etc., also need to be rearranged.
Gallery development
Nothing enlivens a room like a gallery of photographs or paintings, posters, combined with mirrors. A gallery is such an individual piece of decor that there are no rules for its creation.
Identical or different frames, family or vacation photos, random placement or tight grouping - it all depends on the homeowner's preferences. The main principle is that the gallery should reflect the interior style and creative impulse of the homeowner.
You can refresh the interior of your home without complicated and expensive repairs. The methods described above involve working with small details and they can make the premises exclusive.
