CHANGING YOUR STYLE? HERE’S HOW…
Completely changing your home's interior design can be an exciting and transformative process. Whether you are looking to update the style, create a more functional space, or simply refresh the overall ambiance, revamping your home's interior design can breathe new life into your living environment. However, undertaking such a project can also feel overwhelming, especially if you're unsure where to start. Here is a list of essential steps to help you embark on this endeavor with confidence and ease.
Define Your Vision
This is so important! Start by envisioning how you want your new interior design to look and feel. Consider your personal style, preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create in your home. Gather inspiration from magazines, websites, social media platforms, and home décor catalogs, cut them out, and pin them to a storyboard for continual viewing.
Set a Budget
Also very important! Determine how much you're willing to spend on the project. This will help guide your decisions and prioritize where to allocate your resources.
Plan the Layout
Assess your current space and decide if any structural changes are necessary. Consult with professionals, such as architects, contractors, and interior designers. if needed. (*as a member of IDS Interior Design Society I can help!) Plan your placement of furniture, lighting fixtures, and other key elements to optimize the flow and functionality of each room.
Choose a Color Scheme
Select a color palette that reflects your desired aesthetic. Consider the mood and ambiance you want to create in each room. Look for colors that complement each other and create a cohesive look throughout your home. And again, your storyboard should paint a picture of your favorites.
Select Furniture and Décor
Decide on the style of furniture and decorative items that align with your vision. Consider factors such as comfort, durability, and functionality. Look for pieces that fit your budget and the size of your space. Mix and match different textures, patterns, and materials to add visual interest. This is not so easy for some- but help is available when needed!
Flooring and Wall Treatments
Determine if you want to change your flooring or wall treatments. Options include hardwood, carpeting, tiles, laminate, paint, wallpaper, or a combination. Choose materials and colors that harmonize with your overall design scheme.
Lighting
In my opinion, lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the ambiance and functionality of your space. Consider a combination of general, task, and accent lighting. Install fixtures that match your style while providing adequate illumination for each area.
Window Treatments
Decide on window coverings that align with your design concept. Options vary to include curtains, blinds, shades, shutters, or a combination. Consider light control, privacy, and how the window treatments will complement the overall aesthetic.
Personalize with Accessories
This is the fun part! Add personality and character to your space with accessories such as artwork, rugs, pillows, and decorative objects. Select items that align with your style and color pallet and contribute to your desired ambiance.
Execution and Implementation
Once you have a clear plan, start executing it. If necessary, hire professionals to assist with installations, renovations, or other specialized tasks. Take your time and tackle one room at a time to maintain focus and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Remember that transforming your home's interior design is a gradual process, and it may take time and effort to achieve the desired outcome. Enjoy the journey and adjust along the way to ensure your new design reflects your unique style and preferences.
