Beginning a new thing and transforming a place can look difficult but it’s not impossible. If we plan and breakdown the process into steps, we can achieve them. So, let’s start transforming your living space with these 3 basic steps. There is a misconception that decorating a place is long and tedious process but by following these steps, the actual transformation can happen in a smooth way.
You deserve to create the place of your dreams without spending much on hiring someone like very expensive like me ( just a joke ). For a professional look, obviously you need someone with more skills.
Let’s get started –
1. WALLS – Decorating any room or place is done in layers. I always start working on walls as they play an important role as the backdrop to our design concept. Color of walls are used to set a mood or make a statement. It can energize a room or have a calming effect, which means it can evoke emotional response to us, both mentally and physically.
Find an inspiration piece as your jumping-off point. Your inspiration can come from any artwork or a place you’ve just visited, create a vision board. Choose a color theme, get some more inspiration from magazines or home improvement stores near you. Once you decide on a color, you can select different combinations to balance and add depth in a room.
Most importantly, when it comes to paint, remember that it is not permanent and you can always change it, just like your life. Rules are certainly meant to be broken if they don’t cause any harm. You can come up with your own individual style if you try your own creativity.
Next thing to keep in mind is the size of the space and how much or little natural light it receives. Light in any form, whether it’s natural or artificial, it will affect the color. When working on walls, we have a variety to experiment with like paint, color, or texture. Also accent walls are always created to give a focal point in the room. An accent wall is the first wall that catches your eye when you walk into a room. You can try wood or stone, murals or wall papers to compliment walls. While creating an accent wall, if more than two-third of the wall is covered with windows and doors or shared by two rooms, don’t paint it to create a bold statement.
