If there is one place in the world which needs constant love and affection, it’s our home, our safe haven. When decorating homes some rooms are sorted pretty quickly but some are trickier to nail and they often become lackluster due to a shortage of ideas. Sometimes a few years into the décor, homemakers tend to get bored by the monotony of the design and want to spruce it up with some quirky, out-of-the-box ideas to add interest and eradicate the dullness and the boring aspects of the room. There’re many ways to achieve that with any given space in the room and for doing that one doesn’t have to spend a fortune, the right kind of bed runner, wall arts, rugs and lightning can do the trick very well.
Now adding interest or eye-catching features in any space doesn’t mean you have to strip down everything and start over from the scratch. Even if you afford to do it, try considering the option of small changes, trust me they would have a great impact if done rightly. Start with an area or corner that’s particularly bothering you or lack that oomph factor. Figure out what’s not in sync with the flow of the décor and with a little moving, shifting, adding and hanging you can accomplish the anticipated results. If these changes aren’t enough then go for something more prominent and beautiful like White linen curtains or an accent wall to make the space shine out and speak for itself.
Our home is our reflection, the way we feel, our perspective, our aesthetic sense, our flair; all these are put on display by the way we decorate rooms and areas of the home. After a long tiring day when we retreat to our homes the last thing we need is to feel jaded and agitated about the look of the room, be it your living room, kitchen or bed room. Kicking off the shoes and unwinding in a space which provides hygge, looks visually pleasing and makes you feel refreshed is what a well-decorated and well-thought out home décor should make you feel at the end of the day. Although it might seem a daunting task, it’s in fact very easy, just be yourself and try to be true to your feelings and you will nail the décor as you’ll be exhibiting what you love.
Making a tedious and dreary space look attractive is easier said than done. Even if you have placed the right kind of furniture, accessories and also made an effort to add statement pieces it may still look blah and miss personality. This reason might be the fact that you didn't add a touch of your own personality to it, making it boring for you. But worry not, we are here with some great ideas to bring back any space in your home from the doldrums and make it stunning, interesting and striking all over again.
Reveal Your Artistic Side
Are the walls of your home an empty stretch of neutrals with nothing to break the monotony? Then the space is doomed and bound to look dull, uninteresting and frankly speaking quite unpalatable as well. Neutral walls are a thin line to thread on, so don’t go for them unless you know exactly what you are doing. To bring some life in these boring neutral walls I suggest hanging an oversized artwork. This trick will immediately shift the focus of the visitors on the art work and the walls will look more complete and addressed. The art work isn’t supposed to cost you a fortune, there are some great pieces of artwork available in markets which aren’t only amazing they fit into the budget as well.
Create a statement Accent Wall
Taking about walls then another way to shift focus from dull and boring walls is to make one a statement wall with either an eye-catching paint color, getting a floral wallpaper on it or putting a huge eccentric mirror on it. Choose a wall of the room that is either the front wall of the room or the one behind your most beautiful piece of furniture. This will create a combination that no one would like to look away from.
Pamper your Feet
Probably the most inviting and attractive feature of the room is a plush, cozy rug under the feet. Rugs have the ability to tie the whole look of the space together, making sense of each thing, adding the much needed pop of color and providing comfort and luxury all at once. Neutral colored walls, tapestry and flooring makes everything dull, dreary and dreadful so a strong patterned contemporary rug or a classic transitional rug can become the focal point of the room, bringing the attention to colorful rug and making the space lively.
Update Bedding and Decorative Pillows
Innocuous and light-tones of colors like beige, ivory and taupe are soothing, cozy and promote hygge, but can instantly make any space lackluster. To avoid that add hints of colors around the theme with colorful decorative pillows in the living room and colorful bed runners and bedding in the bed room to breathe fresh and inviting air into the space. The options of throw pillows, bedding and bed runners in today’s day and age is limitless, no matter what your style mantra is, there’s one that will tantalize your style buds.
Place Some Plants Inside
Whenever you feel stuck and don’t know how to add color to a space without ruining the entire color story and theme then trust Mother Nature to solve this problem for you. No matter which room needs a bit of color and attraction; plants, flowers and herbs always add contrast, appeal and a wave of freshness to the space without disturbing the ongoing theme.
Final Thoughts
To bring interest, appeal and attraction is very simple and affordable given that you want to try out new things. You don’t have to indulge in some expensive pieces to achieve that, something as simple as white linen curtains and the right placement of lamps can make any nook or cranny that seems dull, more vibrant and vivacious.
