What better way than to invest in some sustainable and life-changing options to give a home makeover? Listing out some interior design ideas you can adapt to give your home a fresh new perspective to welcome the new year.
1. Go bold and bright with new colors - Give fresh pop of color or paint to your rooms. Never be afraid to give vibrant colors for they can brighten up your room and life. Refrain from using pale and dim colors and choose something bold and bright to create an ecstatic and active mood.
2. Get decorative - Adding a lot of unique decorative elements like potted plants, curios, photo frames, vases, coffee tables, rugs, cushions, etc can spruce up your home. Get creative and innovative with decorations according to a certain theme like color, art, pattern, texture, mood, characteristics, personality, etc.
3. Organize and Reorganize - Add a lot of storage options and cupboards in your kitchen, bedroom, and living room to make your home clutter-free. Keep things organized using baskets, boxes, trays, folders, containers, cloth bags, etc. to achieve a therapeutic effect, visual tranquility, and ultimate happiness.
4. Utilize your spaces - The space underneath the staircase can be utilized and made into a bookshelf or a space to store your shoes or simply a hideaway cupboard to store all things unwanted
5. Make your bedroom cozier - Give your bedroom a dreamy makeover and accessorize it with cushions, bedding, curtains, potted plants, bedside lamp, rugs, decorative lights, etc and make it your ideal escape room to indulge in your thoughts and solitude.
6. Invest in a workspace - A workspace is quite essential in all rooms now that work-from-home and online classes have become a thing. Allocate a space to keep your laptop/computer, table, and chair to do a bit of reading, writing as well as other work-related stuff in your very own workspace.
7. Replace cupboards with floating shelves - Floating shelves are a good idea if you wish to invest in more storage space. When installed on the walls, they give a whole different feel and modern look to your home. Open shelves also give a warm and welcoming effect to our homes.
8. Choose minimalism - Do not stuff your homes with too much furniture , for they take up too much space and clutter your home. Choose minimum furniture so you can move around and think freely with an open mind and space. A cluttered home can clutter your mind as well. Embrace a minimalist home to create a zen-like atmosphere. How? Start by giving away the things which you haven't used for more than a year to charity or sell them online and see the spaces and options open up in front of you.
9. Replace all doors with sliding doors - Sliding doors are a good replacement if you are living in a smaller apartment as it saves a lot of space.
10. Make sustainable choices - We are living in a fast-paced consumer world and we are tempted to buy everything that we see around us which eventually adds up to more landfill and waste. We need to consider the planet we live on, our buying behavior will only suffocate our planet with more consumer products putting our Earth in more danger than we can imagine. Consider more sustainable and environmentally friendly options when planning the interior design of your home, for it is the right thing to do. Look for upcycled, recycled, and natural elements to incorporate into your home interior design. Use natural light, solar power, and environment-friendly paints wherever possible. Stop using disposable forks, knives, napkins, plates, cups, etc, and use steel or glass replacements. Be the change and make the responsible change.
