5 Interior Design Tips from Expert Home Builders

March 19, 2020

After spending nearly a year at home because of the pandemic, many of us have been consumed with interior design and home improvement ideas. And, you are not alone in wanting to change your scenery.

The majority of homeowners, whether single, couples, or families, want to make some changes in their home layout, decor, or other to make it more comfortable and stylish. Whether you’re looking at AC Package Units for Sale to make your home cooler during the summer or you’re trying to find that perfect scatter cushion to complete the sofa, there are plenty of little, or large, things you can do to improve your home. Enjoy these tips compiled from expert home builders.

1. Don’t Forget the Hallway

Unless your home is a studio apartment, you have at least one hallway. Many homeowners worry about the look of the bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bath, but they ignore the hallway. That’s a big mistake! The hallway is a valuable space. You can show off your art, add light and depth with a mirror, or any other creative hallway ideas.

2. Utilize Your Space

Space and its usage are crucial in any home. Over the last year, many of us felt trapped and might have considered a knockdown rebuild if it were possible. Perhaps this was due to the fact that we turned some of our spare bedrooms into offices and gyms. On top of that, we all worked from home, learned from home, and even worked out at home. In any case, more space would have felt both practical and essential to have had.

Homebuilders recommend utilizing your space with what’s important to you as a priority. If you are a foodie and wine lover, you need to create space in your home for your culinary and wine adventures. Likewise, if you love the outdoors, you must adapt your space to maximize your dose of Vitamin D and Mother Nature. Experts highly recommend home builders in Melbourne for design inspiration.

3. Lighting is Essential

Regardless of where you live, you need a balance of natural and artificial lighting to enhance your home. Nowadays you can get very bright LED lightbulbs that lighten up your room so you may not need any extra light fixtures. However you should consider getting new fixtures to enhance room features or important areas where you need as much light (e.g. to illuminate your kitchen countertops). You can use this link for more information on light fixture installation.

The natural light you can get through your windows, doors, and skylights. If you need to enhance the natural lighting that your home has, try placing a mirror in front of a window or door to reflect the natural light. Also, you can choose lighter hues or transparent fabrics for your curtains.

If you are looking for a playful change in your lighting, you can try a star projector night light. That would look amazing in some people’s homes. However, for those who are wanting a more modern finish in their home, it might be worth looking for some popular lighting options, such as a drum pendant light. That would fit in with most modern interior designs.

4. Add Green to Your Space

By adding plants or a small windowsill garden to your home, you can change the look of your home, but also improve your health. Plants clean the air, but also if you choose a windowsill herb garden, you can savor your plants. Even without a green thumb, you can grow quickly and with ease mint, rosemary, and basil. A true home is with home-cooked meals. Get your recipes for pesto and rosemary roasted chicken ready. Perhaps you can toast with a refreshing, minty mojito as well.

5. Declutter Frequently

We are all guilty of clutter. We all have a junk drawer or that random closet that is a catch-all for all items you don’t want to deal with. By decluttering your space, it has been found that you also declutter your thoughts. So for a clear mind and brighter living space, follow the KonMari method. Begin decluttering with your clothes, then books, and lastly your sentimental items.

It’s time for a change of scenery. Whether you decide to move into a new place or give your old place a new look, it’s not that hard. By following the five tips above, you will be well on your way. Enjoy the journey and your home!
