This has to do with the creation of moods. Huge expanses of smooth white lifeless walls can be replaced with details of interest and personality. Think of daring and brave details, making a statement with all the elements of the design. Interesting and metallic accessories can be the perfect accompaniment; complement adding glamor.
Despite continuing to live in a casual style, the sophistication can be expressed from many different aspects. Without making the room a museum, you can give a good treatment to the ceiling, or the style of the floors or why not, to the textures of the walls.
It can be summarized in a room, the best of different branches of styles. For example, the English Country style, mixed with the French Country, with certain qualities of Scandinavian aspects or the rusticity of the Far American West. Everything is valid.
Knowing how to manage in what quantities is good and in what proportions we exceed, having sophisticated and opulent elements that can be worked as a focal point or subtly distributed in different corners of the room, can serve to decorate the home and make it look very distinguished, without leaving to have a low profile, which we often look for.
Classic
The modern can be mixed with traditional immortal designs. If done well, it is a decoration that can stand the test of time.
Today’s trends are going faster than the wind and many times when we happened to have them in our homes, they stopped running at any decoration store. Therefore, we must be careful with what elements can be maintained over time, because if you are going to buy slowly, you can keep pieces that will then be impossible to combine with others, for example.
Unique and original
Adding something different, unique and special in your designs is an easy way to put a personal accent that identifies you.
There is no better detail than the one that gives the home the category of its own. Do not always be guided by trends, you can mark trends yourself. Do not hurry to make a change in your home, good touches take time; but above all, do not follow trends that you can see on TV, such as putting the flat television on top of the wood burning stove, if you have tried it, you can see that you will be cramped within a few minutes.
Functional
Remember those rooms of your grandparents’ house that seemed to be museums, the only thing missing was a rope with a sign saying “do not touch”. Today is not like that. Nowadays, the rooms are for enjoyment and the dining rooms are for eating. Space is a scarce commodity in today’s homes, so these rooms should really be used as they should be.
You must focus on achieving a warm and relaxing, but above all, relaxed atmosphere. That is, sofas and sofas that are not as formal, larger and of low height, as for lying down. A carpet at the height of them. Entertainment with some electronic element can never be absent, although overloading the room should be avoided.
Forget those rooms that sometimes we appreciate in some homes, that more than a place to be, they seem unused spaces that are scary for the classic or eclectic that they are. The space is worth gold, make the most of it. Leaving a place in the home only for special occasions is no longer customary in these times, since every day is special and more when it comes to enjoying what we get with great effort.
Style contrasts
Creating contrast by incorporating furniture of different styles, colors and patterns, is one of the decoration tricks most used today.
Lighting is an important element that can be used in our favor to create contrasts, being able to play with modern style luminaires; or the incorporation of candles that recreate a timeless, rustic and much warmer atmosphere.
Accessories such as curtains, cushions and rugs in striking colors or patterns can be great allies when it comes to recreating striking and welcoming environments through contrast.
In modern bathrooms, one of the secrets that is most popular to visually impact, is the incorporation of ornate antique bathtubs.
Mixing cold and warm colors, in furniture and home accessories, can cause the visual impact you were looking for. This effect can also be achieved by incorporating a chair or mirror of yesteryear into a modern room.
Decorative Prints
Ethnic prints
Fabrics and upholstery with ethnic prints will never go out of style. The addition of details of distant lands in the home can beautify dull and boring interiors. So if you see a cushion or carpet that is overflowing with other cultures, do not hesitate to use it to add warmth and great visual interest to the rooms.
Floral prints
The floral and textile designs Chintz, is another of the classics not only in the world of interior design, but also in other markets, such as fashion.
