Home decorating ideas: the must have styles and looks

This year has been another one for spending a lot of time in our homes due to the pandemic. However, that’s not stopped us from decorating and updating our properties.

There are many new trends and must-have styles to choose from, for your home.

Below you’ll find all the inspiration needed to inject personality into a room or to the entire property, depending on your budget.

Be bold when it comes to your colour palette

A great way to make changes to your space is by using a 3D home design software. This type of interior design software can help you find the perfect colour palette for the space.

With winter coming around, it can be useful to give the space some warm and bold colors. Adding colour is a great way to boost your mood and it can be handy to place it in areas around the room that require it.

Life is too short to stick to neutrals, so be brave. Be sure to color swatch any paint on the walls and if you’re not feeling adventurous, incorporate bold colour through furniture and soft furnishings.

Fall in love with vintage decor

Vintage decor is a great way of adding something unique to your space. Through repurposed pieces to antiques and retro furnishings, there’s something nostalgic about bringing back something from your childhood.

If you’re wanting to keep it modern, then build in vintage pieces to fit around what you have in the space already. Add a few luxe pieces to bring in that modern feel.

Find vintage pieces by exploring local thrift shops or seeking out antique dealers for the more special pieces.

Embrace wall murals

Wall murals can be a jaw dropping feature that catches the eye as soon as you enter the room. It could be a mural that reflects a special moment or a favourite vacation destination. There’s no room where a wall mural wouldn’t work. Imagine a tropical waterfall backdrop in your bathroom.

With a wall mural, it’s something unique and perhaps isn’t something that’s embraced enough for fear of getting it wrong. However, there are plenty of pre-made printed versions available with wallpaper, rather than having to do any painting yourself.

Failing that, there’s plenty of talented artists out there who could transform a blank canvas that is a living room or bedroom wall.

Be sustainable with eco-friendly pieces

Being sustainable is something that many homeowners are trying to be more conscious of. This includes shopping with more sustainable brands and incorporating eco-friendly pieces into the space.

Consider materials like bamboo which are super strong and most likely to have a longer shelf life than other options. Use recycled fabrics if you’re focusing on soft furnishings or upholstering an armchair, dining chair or perhaps even the ironing board.

Giving your home an update every now and then can be needed and why not when there are so many wonderful trends and styles available this year to try.
