Are you looking to give your space a remodel? Perhaps it’s your living room that’s seen better days, or a bedroom in need of an update? A makeover can instantly transform your space into something new and exciting.
But how do you make sure that it goes off without a hitch? Here are some essential tips to ensure you have a successful room makeover – no matter the space or size of the project.
Reimagine your space with creative planning
Taking the time to plan your room makeover is essential. It sets the stage for a successful transformation, and will save your time and money by making your efforts focused and efficient.
The best way to visualise your idea is by creating a mood board. Compile images of furniture, patterns of design features that you like. You can also look at fabric and paint samples either in real life or online. You can also use online tools like room visualisers to let you see how different paint colours and furniture would look in your space. This helps you to plan the space accurately, and try different combinations of items until you find the perfect design for you.
Choose the perfect colour palette
Often the base of any remodel, the colours you choose can influence your mood in different ways. Warm shades of reds and browns can make your space feel warm and inviting. While softer colours like blues can make a space feel cool and calming.
The colour palette you choose should match the purpose of the room and the atmosphere you want to create. Start with a base colour for your walls or big furniture pieces, then choose complementary colours for accents and decor so they work together.
You can also experiment with different tones of timber look designs in your flooring, walls and furniture. Different ones can help add depth and personality to the space. These natural elements can bring a sense of warmth and texture, making the room feel more grounded and cohesive.
Add quality flooring for a look that will last
Flooring makes up a huge part of any space and can dramatically influence how the room feels. Updating it can significantly change the overall aesthetic of your space.
Investing in good quality flooring that will stand the test of time and everyday use is a must in any home. It should be durable, low maintenance, and of course visually pleasing. Integrate the elegant look of wood with hybrid flooring with luxury vinyl plank – both ideal choices for busy households with their ease of cleaning, water resistance and durability.
Choose furniture and fixtures for balance and harmony
To achieve a harmonious look in your room, carefully consider your furniture placement and size, making sure to balance the pieces. The last thing you want is a couch that’s too big or a coffee table that cuts off your walkway.
Instead, arrange your furniture in a way that promotes flow and balance, avoiding clutter and overcrowding. You can also mix and match different styles, textures and materials to add interest and depth to your space. Keep it cohesive by choosing prices that fit your colour palette and overall theme of your room.
Accessorise with flair
Accessories give a room character and depth of interest – the finishing touches that pull a room together and add personality. They’re also a great way to showcase your own unique style to make your space feel like you. Here are some accessories to consider:
- Rugs or large mats can be used to add warmth and texture and define spaces within the room.
- Soft furnishings like cushions and throw rugs are an easy way to integrate textures or pops of colour and pattern.
- Artwork can help create a visual focal point, but they can also add colour and interest to the space. Choose pieces that suit your chosen aesthetic and resonate with you.
- Invite some of the outdoors inside, and adorn your space with leafy ferns, or large leafed rainforest plants like palms or monstera to improve air quality and boost your mood.
When accessorising, remember the key is balance, so be mindful not to overcrowd the space with too many things.
Create a space that works for you
When it comes to your room makeover, planning is key. By visualising your items and design elements in the space, you can ensure a cohesive remodel. Don’t forget to carefully consider your colour schemes and flooring choices. Most of all, embrace your creativity and have fun with your room makeover. The space you create should be one that truly reflects you and your personal style. After all, a successful room transformation is measured by how much you love and feel comfortable in the space.
