Decorating your home should be an exciting experience and something you enjoy. Your interior should not only express your personality and showcase everything you love, but you also want it to be unique. I take a look at some of the best ways to create a memorable interior, so you can design a home that is eye-catching and distinctive.
Go Bold With Colours
Covering the walls with lashes of brightly coloured paint is undoubtedly going to make your home one to remember! Shades that are hot on trend at the moment are jewel tones; think emerald, sapphire and ruby. These colours are not only bold and create a statement, but they are also very luxurious and chic. If a whole jewel-toned wall seems a little too much for you, consider picking the colours in the accessories of the room or the furniture. Small pops of colour are a great way to create a vibrant interior without having to make significant changes.
Jewel tones also work perfectly in the bedroom because they instantly make a room feel lavish and plush. You can make your own bedroom feel like a boutique hotel room by adding these fancy tones. To follow the chic vibe, vintage lights can add an element of elegance to a room. No matter the metallic hue, the antique and rustic look of industrial style lights blend effortlessly with the jewel tone interiors.
Make A Statement With Tiles
Tiles are a great feature to have in a kitchen or bathroom because not only are they excellent for cleaning purposes, but they also create an iconic focal point. Whether you choose ‘barely there’ colours or bright and bold shades, tiles instantly catch the eye with their symmetric design. There are a few ways to introduce tiles to your interior; a whole wall, a splashback or flooring!
Be Rustic With Wood And Brick
Exposed brick or wooden panels are an excellent way to create an unforgettable interior. Bringing the natural elements into your home not only looks rustic and stylish, but it also helps connect you to the outdoors. If you would like brick in your interior but don’t have the option to expose any, brick wallpaper is a brilliant alternative; you still get the feel of brick without actually having any! With wooden panels, you can add these to the wall in any interior and instantly make the room appear rustic. You could even look to create your own furniture out of some old pallets; this is very on-trend at the moment.
Create A Unique Focal Point
There is no better way to create a centrepiece in an interior than with some vintage light bulbs! Gone are the days of traditional chandeliers as we welcome industrial cluster lighting. The mixture of different lengths, styles and shapes create something so unique that you’ll inspire others to do the same in their home! The quirky lighting arrangement works by using a single ceiling rose which houses multiple pendants, therefore, mimicking the design of a chandelier, but with a modern, industrial twist.
Bring The Outdoors In
Make your interior light, fresh and airy with some houseplants scattered around. Science has actually proven that houseplants can help relieve stress and anxiety while also improving air quality. However, health benefits aren’t all these leafy features bring; they can also add vibrancy and colour to a room. Whether you add a couple of little cacti or a large floor plant, introducing a bit of greenery to your interior can undoubtedly catch the eye.
Introduce Funky Wallpaper
A straightforward way to spruce up an interior and immediately add some colour is by adding some wallpaper. Look for a bold pattern which showcases some bright colours. You can either have one feature wall that has some decorative wallpaper, and then the other walls painted one colour, or you could cover all the walls with some funky patterns.
Your home should express your personality so when you are decorating, keep in mind that you want it to showcase everything you love, and not just look like a page out of a catalogue. Hopefully, you now know how to create a home that will be both beautiful and memorable!

Such a great post Amanda. I love the simple yet effective method of adding the right area rug to tie together a space. To tie the space together, some designers recommend to have each piece of furniture sit on the rug along with making sure there’s a good sized border around the perimiter of the rug.

Home shouldn’t just be the place you sleep at night — ideally it’s a place where you can unwind from a long day and where you can look forward to spending time. And that’s why if you’re like me, you spend a lot of time looking for affordable ways to make your home feel cozy and inviting.

Choose a deep jewel tone and a softer fabric than your standard crisp white cotton to give the living room a cozier feel.
