Hey there, fellow home renovators!
If you’re anything like us at Interiors by Jacksonheim, you know the excitement and thrill that comes with transforming your home into your dream space. However, renovating can also be a daunting task, especially if you’re not familiar with the ins and outs of interior design.
That’s why we are here to share with you three pieces of advice that every home renovator should know.
Don't underestimate the power of lighting
One of the most overlooked aspects of interior design is lighting. Lighting can make or break the ambiance of a room, and it’s important to consider the type of lighting you want for each space. Do you want bright and energetic lighting for your kitchen or warm and cozy lighting for your bedroom? You can achieve different moods and vibes through lighting. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different types of lighting, such as overhead lighting, table lamps, and floor lamps. And always opt for LED light bulbs, which not only last longer but also save you money on your electricity bill.
Invest in quality furniture
Furniture is the backbone of any interior design project, and it’s important to invest in quality pieces that will last you for years to come. Don’t skimp on your sofa or bed, as these are items you’ll be using every day. Look for furniture that not only fits your style but also offers comfort and durability.
It’s also important to consider the size and scale of your furniture in relation to the room it’s in. You don’t want to overcrowd a small room with large pieces of furniture, as it will make the space feel cramped and uncomfortable.
Create a cohesive colour palette
Finally, one of the most important aspects of interior design is creating a cohesive colour palette. This means choosing a set of colours that work well together and can be used throughout your home. You don’t have to stick to just one or two colours, but it’s important to find a balance and avoid clashing colours.
Consider using a neutral colour as your base and then adding pops of colour through accent pieces, such as pillows or wall art. And don’t forget about the finishes and textures of your decor items, as these can add depth and dimension to your space.
Renovating your home can be a daunting task, but with these three pieces of advice in mind, you’ll be on your way to creating your dream space. Remember to prioritise lighting, invest in quality furniture, and create a cohesive colour palette.
