Introduction:

Choosing a particular interior design style can be challenging and daunting – especially when the trends are constantly changing. Whether it is the furniture, rugs, curtains, or wallpapers – it is important to style creatively for a cohesive backdrop.

However, regardless of the style – it is a must that your homes should speak your lifestyle and personality – and that is why here is a list of curated simple, and easy tips to style your homes!

1.Style With Pillows and Throws

There is no better way to add a sense of comfort and cosiness than introducing throws and pillows. One of the quickest and easiest ways – just randomly place some contrasting bold and patterned pillows on your living room couches as well as the beds to give a perfect refined look.

Remember to mix and match the colours, patterns, fabrics, and textures to create a cohesive experience.

2. Introduce Nature

Nature is humans’ best friend. So, it is time to style your homes with tall fig trees in the corners and little succulents, snake plants, and bonsai for the table tops. Apart from the aesthetics, these plants further purify the indoor air while imbibing a fresh and wholesome vibe indoors.

You can style these plants with some very eye-catchy, textural planters that may be available in various styles and sizes to compliment your interior design theme.

3. Add Prints and Patterns

A great way to add depth and character to your homes is by simply using some patterned and printed wallpapers that speak your style. Mainly, you have a wide array of wallpapers and murals to choose from – whether it is the florals, solid hues, geometric patterns, or the skylines – they are bound to style your homes very quickly and effectively! If wallpaper isn't your thing, think about your artwork.

Create a personalized gallery wall by displaying a mix of art, photos, and meaningful objects. This can be a focal point that reflects your personality and be a very stylish addition to a hallway or living room.

4. Focus the Coffee Tables

Coffee tables are the focal point of our living rooms. Hence, it is important to style them in such a way that they add balance and harmony to your spaces. Hence, depending upon the shape of your coffee table, you could either choose grid distribution in the case of rectangular coffee tables or play with scale in the case of circular coffee tables.

It is time to flaunt off your books, flower vases, and decorative vintage antiques on these stylish coffee tables!

5. Pay Attention to Shelves and Bookcases

When styling your bookcase, it's important to strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics. Start by arranging your books both vertically and horizontally to create visual interest. Intersperse them with decorative objects such as vases, sculptures, or framed photos to break up the monotony. Consider organizing books by colour or size to create a cohesive look.

Don't forget about negative space – leaving some areas empty can help prevent a cluttered appearance. Experiment with different combinations and arrangements until you find a layout that not only showcases your favorite items but also reflects your style and personality. And remember, occasional rearrangement can breathe new life into your bookcase display, so don't be afraid to switch things up every now and then.

6. Group things

Consider grouping your items for a quick and easy way to create a visually appealing look. For a more orderly appearance, stick to even numbers in your groupings. If you prefer a more casual feel, opt for odd numbers. Remember to vary the heights of your objects; for instance, combine a tall vase, a medium-sized candle, and a few large stacked coffee table books for a balanced look. Consider the size of the surface too; avoid placing oversized items on small tables or tiny decorations on large surfaces. Always keep perspective in mind to achieve a harmonious and uncluttered display.

Conclusion

So there you have it x6 very simple but effective ways in which you can easily and quickly style up your space. My biggest tip would be do not over complicate things. Take everything away and slowly bring items back into the space. That way you can build up your styling efforts and not get too overwhelmed by the process.

Above all, have fun with it. Styling is a really lovely end to a renovation, decorating or just a refresh project. It is the icing on the cake , if you like. So showcase your beautiful work and objects.
