When it comes to your home renovation Vancouver, there are several interior design tips you can follow or bring up to your interior designer for a cozier, more balanced and harmonious space. When renovating your home, let’s go out with the old and in with the new!
Swap Out Heavy, Light-Blocking Fabrics
Dark, heavy, thick or blackout fabrics can oftentimes make a room feel gloomy, weighty and overall not pleasant to be in. They can also block any natural light from coming in, especially if you have small windows or your apartment faces a street that doesn’t get much light naturally being blocked by other buildings.
Swap Out Lightbulbs for a Cozy Feel
Cool, blue-tinted lightbulbs create the feeling of a sterile, almost hospital environment. They can also make you feel like you are in a nightclub. Change those cool lightbulbs to warm ones to create a warmer, cozier, homier feel.
Upsize Your Rug
Rugs that are too small and only fit the size of the coffee table above it can make your room look disproportionate and lacking in harmony. Make sure the rug is large enough to expand to and fit slightly underneath the couch. The same goes for a rug underneath the dining table – make sure it is large enough for the chair to still fit on it when it is pulled out.
Care for Your Plants and Toss Fake Ones
Drying or unhealthy plants can make your home look unkempt and poorly maintained while fake plants can make a room feel cheap. If your plants are dying, see if there is anything you can do to trim them down or swap them out with fresh, healthy ones. Cactuses and succulents are low-maintenance options.
Minimize Wooden Pieces
If your room contains too much wood or many versions of stained wood, it can make a space look outdated, gloomy and dreary, Mix wooden pieces with pieces made from other materials. Mix antique or vintage with high-end designer pieces. Expand your horizons.
