Interior Design Tips for Your First Home

Buying a house is most certainly fulfilling. You must be very proud of yourself for being able to achieve it. However, the most exciting part is decorating the house. We will share in this post some interior design tips and inspiration that you can consider for your very first home.

Come up with a colour scheme

It can be overwhelming to design an entire house especially it is bigger compared to a condo unit or apartment. So, one of the most useful tips to consider is to come up with a colour scheme. You should establish a basic colour scheme for the entire house and then go room to room from there. It usually plays out in different ways in different rooms.

Use texture and patterns

Do you wish to create visual impact in a room but does not want to use bright colours? You can do this by using texture and patterns to make neutral colours stand out.

Use your walls as a canvas

Rather than using classic wall paint in the rooms, you can consider painting some art for added aesthetic value. You can also use high-impact wallpaper to cover the entire room as if you’re in a gallery.

Show your prized and investment pieces

If you’re a collector of antiques and you just love your beautifully crafted, classic but timeless pieces then be sure to put it up front for people to see and adore. Rather than putting everything up in one private room, it is best if you spread it all throughout the house. But of course, make sure to have protection like glass frame or put it in a high and safe place.

Use sectioned mirrors

Mirrored panels can make the room look very elegant. However, do not make the mistake of slapping them up instead, you should try a sectioned pattern especially if you’re going after French-inspired theme.

Balance old and new

Do you love antiques but you also love modern pieces of furniture? You do not need to choose just one. You can create a masterpiece even by balancing old and new pieces. You just need to find the right place to put up your pieces.

Welcome Mother Nature indoors

It is a lot easier in the eyes to see greens and browns indoors. It is advisable to put some plants indoors to balance out the contemporary pieces outlined in the room. Placing plants indoors can be healthy too since it purifies the air inside. Adding drift wood will also add elegance and style.

Invest on anchor pieces

Investing on a high quality furniture that will last a long time is indeed a wise decision. However, if you’re a little tight on the budget, it is best that you invest on more important piece of furniture. For example, invest on a high quality sofa for your living room, a cosy and comfortable bed for the bedroom and a timeless piece of dining table for your dining area.   

Those are some tips and ideas that you can use in decorating your very first house. The most important thing to consider is to choose something that will reflect your own personality and style.

On the other hand, buying a house that doesn’t need a lot of hard work when it comes to interior design is a good idea for people who want to already move to their new home. Buying a Lendlease house and land in Illawarra for instance, makes it easier for homeowners to move to the new home whenever they want as most of the houses are ready and very easy to customise.
