Colours

Repainting the walls of your home can be a great way to inject something new into your home. Choosing colours can be a bit of an ordeal, and requires some careful consideration. Here is a rough guide that should help you when choosing colours:

Warm: Warm colours such as yellows and oranges are brilliant for adding warmth to a room, making them perfect for north facing living spaces.

Bright: Vibrant hues should always be kept for spaces where you want to encourage interaction and communication. Think about using bright colours in kitchen and dining areas.

Dark: Dark colours can be difficult to use, especially in smaller spaces as they can easily create a gloomy atmosphere. However, using a dark colour on one wall can be a great tool for creating a relaxing atmosphere.

Cold: Cooling colours such as pale blues and greens are best suited to rooms where you want to instil calm, such as the bedroom or living room.

Vintage furniture

Purchasing standalone vintage furniture is lovely way to give character to a room. Using a vintage dresser as a statement piece in a contemporary setting can completely alter the vibe of the room. Buying vintage furniture isn’t always an expensive affair, and with a bit of time and dedication, you can easily find some excellent bargains.

Open plan

Looking to make a drastic change to one of your rooms? Open plan rooms are undoubtedly the ‘in’ thing when it comes to modern design. The sense of space open plan rooms can create can be life changing if done correctly, adding a new sense of freedom to your spaces. Creating an open plan bathroom with a large shower space can make those early rises something to look forward to. Using lots of glass, modern storage solutions, and state of the art appliances such as digital showers, are all great ways of completely reinventing your bathroom.

Outdoor spaces

Decorating your home needn’t be confined to merely inside. Outdoor spaces such as the garden shouldn’t be overlooked. Buying new furniture or accessories are affordable ways to transform the atmosphere of your outdoor spaces no matter how small they are. Using bright colours are perfect for creating a relaxing space for you and your family to enjoy.
