With more people spending time at home (working, entertaining, etc.), the demand for homes to become multi-functional spaces is on the rise, too. However, your home is still a place where you should be able to find rest and relaxation.
It is important to understand that there is no one size fits all solution to home design because your home is such a personal space and everyone tends to have different lifestyles, design preferences, and functional needs.
However, there are a few overarching elements to home design that can help transform your house into your personal haven, such as the architectural details of the home, interior finish preferences, and a unique curation of personal belongings and new pieces that complete each space.
5 Tips to Transform Your House into Your Personal Haven
The following are five tips that you can use as inspiration to create your personal haven.
#1: Consider What Inspires Your Design Style
There are several places where you can find home design inspiration, such as the mountains, or in our case, the beach. You can also draw inspiration from personal experiences, such as travels, films, eras, etc. You can draw from those sources to visualize your likes and dislikes when consulting with an interior designer and residential contractor.
#2: Keep It Simple
Some styles and furnishings may make a space feel cluttered or busy. Simplicity is key to creating serene spaces in your home. If you go with overly trendy designs, you could also run the risk of having a home that looks dated three or five years down the road.
#3: Make Natural Elements Your Focal Points
If your home is on the water or has a lush garden, you may want to consider showing it off as much as possible. You can complement these natural focal points by with your color palette, furnishings, textures, and lighting.
#4: Choosing the Right Color Palette
Colors have a profound impact on mood. Whether it is the color of your walls or furnishings, it is important to choose the right color palette and incorporate pops of color the right way. For example, soft colors, blues, and greens are calming, whereas a bright yellow energizes the space and also your mood.
#5: Incorporating Greenery into Your Spaces
Adding touches of greenery into your spaces can improve your mental and physical well-being in addition to adding life to your rooms. Whether you choose neutral or colorful plants and flowers to incorporate into your home, they can transform a house into a serene home.
