Designing a Dreamy Home
Designing a dreamy home is not just about the aesthetics, it’s about creating a space where you can feel totally relaxed and at peace with yourself. People often feel overwhelmed and daunted at the task of designing their own home and not knowing where to start. In order to help, we have created some tips that can help you make the most of your space.
Firstly, think of the big picture. What type of atmosphere do you want to achieve, a modern vintage feel or a cozy beach theme? Decide on the type of ambiance that you want and then plan the elements of your decor around it. People often forget to factor the practicalities of their space, assess how much seating you need, how you can maximize the natural light and how to create the illusion of space.
It’s important to remember to mix and match different textures, styles and color palettes within the room. By carefully selecting different pieces that complement each other you will be able to create a way atmosphere. Have fun with it and don’t be afraid to experiment – try to think outside the box and have some fun.
Another tip for designing a dreamy home is to add subtle touches of personality throughout. From hanging up family photos and displaying keepsakes to adding plants and painting the walls – the way you display items and the subtle patterns you add can make a huge difference.
Lastly, invest in timeless pieces that you truly love. Quality is just as important as the aesthetics. Invest in good (but affordable!) quality furniture and decor that you know you will love for years to come.
Statement Pieces
Statement pieces are a great way to inject a little personality into your space. To achieve a dreamy atmosphere, opt for key pieces with delicate details that capture the eye and instantly add character to the room.
For a truly dreamy feel, choose decor that has been inspired by nature such as a washed white wooden table or a woven basket – both of these elements are great for adding texture and warmth.
Opt for natural materials and pastel colors as these elements will help evoke a dreamy feel. Select prints and fabric patterns from amongst the more subtle designs, small details can make all the difference when it comes to creating a dreamy atmosphere.
Add Plants
Indoor plants are a great way to bolster a dreamy atmosphere as they add life and energy to any space. You don’t need much, a couple of succulents or a few carefully chosen plants can instantly transform a room and make it feel vibrant.
Indoor plants can also add a natural filter to the air quality in the room, removing extra carbon dioxide and adding life and color to the room – another bonus! It’s important to pick plants that don’t require too much attention, as low maintenance plants are generally easier to take care of.
Indoor plants are incredibly versatile and you can choose to display them on the table, on a shelf on the wall or even hang them from the ceiling for an interesting display.
Lighting & Storage
Lighting is key when it comes to creating a dreamy atmosphere. Big windows are the best way to let in the natural light during the day, if you don’t have the option of big windows then it’s important to incorporate good light fitting throughout the room. Warm lighting is great for creating an inviting atmosphere.
Storage is also key as it will help keep the room tidy. Declutter the room and find creative ways to store and display your belongings in a stylish and practical way. Fitted storage and cupboard space can help to maximize the room and declutter it.
Similarly, select furniture that can double up for storage to save space, such as an ottoman or a bed with drawers attached. This can help with the practicalities of the room without compromising on style.
