By Elena @Midsommarflicka

Often homeowners find it hard to place the right pieces in their home, think of the color palette to go with, and what they could do to bring more life into their dull space. They try to see which rules of home interior designing they did not follow correctly, where in fact, no such rules exist in the first place.

Home interior designing does not come with rules. There are no dos and don’ts for this field, as designing encourages most of the creativity that you have with you. However, there are a few things that you might want to keep in mind if you want your home interior to look better.

Everyone could make use of tips when starting to design their home interior. These tips could make your home interior look better in no time and will help you achieve it with ease and a sense of satisfaction. These tips below are guaranteed to help bring out the best version of your home.

Partially paint your walls horizontally

Even though you hang a lot of frames and miscellaneous designs on your wall, they would still look pale, and you find it hard to liven it up. Instead of focusing on material, try changing the colors instead. Paint half of your wall with a color of your choice, and leave the rest in white. This will not only add more hue to your space but can also help make your ceilings look higher.

Welcome more natural light

The key to this is to use curtains with thin fabrics only. If you use curtains with rather thick or heavy fabric, your space will look stuffy, and it would be harder for natural light to come inside. Natural light helps in making the atmosphere of your space more refreshing and lighter, as well, so it’s encouraged that you use blinds and curtains that will allow this.

Encourage more warmth with wood

Does your space look a bit bland? Or does it look too cold and harsh? Try investing in wood displays and furniture to help bring warmth to your area. Wooden chairs and displays are always worth investing in. If you would like, you can also invest in other organic furniture and displays, such as wicker or rattan, which is in trend these days.

Level the color scheme of your space

If you’re having trouble with the color scheme of your room, you might want to keep this tip in mind. Choose a dominant color, and use 60% of it for your space. Then, you can go and use 30% for your secondary color. Of course, you couldn’t forget about putting a few highlights here and there for your space, so use 10% for your accent color, as well.

Try being minimalistic

People tend to worry about their room looking too dull with the lack of displays, which is why they tend to overstuff it instead. Doing that is not encouraged, as using tons of displays and furniture would make your space look messier and more suffocating. Let your furniture, displays, and basically, your whole room breathe. It’s okay to lack displays, as it will make your room look more refreshing and cleaner.

Make your fireplace your focal point

This is a tip that most homeowners do not take note of. A fireplace is a room’s focal point—it should be the center of attention, let’s say. If you have a TV above it, you should move it to another space instead. And, if you feel a bit quirky or creative, it’s never too late to design your fireplace. Use a variety of colors for it, and make it the most colorful that you can imagine.

Celebrate the season

Is it fall already, or winter, or summer? Whatever the season is, don’t forget to let your interior match with it! You don’t have to go all out. You can match your interior with the season by simply changing your throw pillows or adding a few displays that would suit well with the season.  Doing this will help your space have more character and personality.

So, think about the above and see just how your home interior designs can be improved upon.
