Interior design can seem daunting to anyone unsure of how to go about the process.
Frankly, the last thing you want to do when redesigning your home is to wing it. No matter the look you’re going for, you always want to make sure it looks cohesive throughout the design. It can be pretty jarring to walk into a room the design elements don’t complement each other.
For this reason, we’ve compiled a quick guide to let you know the three steps you can complete for a stylish, cohesive look every time, whether you’re looking to redesign your bedroom, your living room, or even your bathroom.
Mood Boards Are Your Friend
You’re never going to achieve the look you want if you’re not even sure what you want.
Take some time to brainstorm by researching on Pinterest, Instagram and Google. Make sure you save all your favourites as you browse. Once you’ve compiled all the best images into one place, you’ll likely have a much clearer idea of your design. From here, you can streamline your finds by making a mood board, either using a platform like Pinterest, throwing them into a PowerPoint, or even going the old-fashioned route and turning them into a physical collage.
The theme that emerges from your research will direct your design choices, from colour to texture to furniture.
Kiss the Clutter Goodbye
As tempting as it is to launch straight into the exciting stuff, you need to get rid of the junk first.
Redesigning your home presents the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. You can’t achieve that fresh start if you’re still hanging onto a load of things you don’t need that are taking up unnecessary space in your house and mind.
We would always advise doing a thorough sort-through of your belongings and clearing out all the things that serve no purpose in your life anymore. Trust us; you’ll be surprised at how amazing you feel afterwards.
However, make sure you keep it as sustainable as possible. If you’re not loving an old piece of furniture, consider upcycling it instead of buying something new. On a similar note, never underestimate the power of second-hand steals. Check out your local charity shops or platforms like Facebook Marketplace to find some unique, affordable elements for your new home.
To Tie it all Together...
While we’re on the topic of underestimating things, you should NEVER overlook how important flooring can be.
Your flooring choice will very much vary depending on where you’re planning to redesign and the atmosphere you want to cultivate.
If you want a cosy, bedroom feel, a plush cream carpet may just be the key element that gives you the result you’re looking for. Alternatively, if you want a stylish, sophisticated dining area where you can host dinner parties, a hardwood floor will most likely do the trick.
