The unbearable difficulty of interior design - Are you sure you know what you need?
The balance between what we think we want and what we really need is one of life's great mysteries.
It's a bit like that moment when you're sure you need a new sofa, but really you just need a break from the daily grind. As autumn arrives, this search for balance becomes more pronounced as preparations for winter begin.
Explore our thoughts on interior design and find more ideas about decorating with colors and the impact of colors at the end of this blog - you can do so much with colors!
Autumn – a time for preparation
Autumn is like spring cleaning for the home, but with wool socks on. With the equinox, the real preparation for winter's quiet begins. This is the perfect moment to use the energy of summer and start projects that would otherwise be left hanging when dark evenings arrive.
Preparing the home for autumn
Autumn home decor doesn't just mean digging out pumpkin lanterns (although they are nice!). It means adapting your home to the season. Add layers to fabrics, bring in warm colors, and create intimate spaces. Even small changes, like moving furniture or changing curtains, can turn your home into an autumnal oasis.
The beauty of nature indoors
When the leaves change color outside, why not bring this beauty inside as well? Highlight autumn shades with orange, yellow, and red, and bring natural elements into your home – flowers, branches, or pinecones. These small touches create a harmonious atmosphere around you, helping you fully enjoy autumn. In a minimalist, especially light home, these color spots bring a fantastic energy boost to your space! Try it!
From atmosphere to winter
The hectic pace of autumn can feel challenging, but if you manage to harness its power, winter will feel much easier. The end of summer can feel bittersweet, but the warmth and comfort of home can ease the transition into the darkness of winter. Remember, your home can support you in this change – even small actions have a big impact. Using bold colors helps create the atmosphere of the space. Cozy, dark spaces calm and stop energy.
Creativity brings change to your home
When autumn arrives, it's time to turn your attention to your own home and consider how its space could support your well-being. Do you have a room that needs a new look? Is it time to repaint those yellowed surfaces to make them beautiful and fresh again? Or maybe you'd like to create a space where you can relax and retreat into silence?
Decorating doesn't have to be expensive, and you don't always need to order new furniture from far away – recycle, DIY, and save money at the same time. When you allow yourself to make changes, you also remind yourself that change is positive. Autumn is a great time to give your home the color refresh it deserves!
Be the artist of your own home
The walls of your home are like a canvas, and you are the artist. Let your creativity flow and create a space that reflects you. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to decorate – the most important thing is that the space feels like you and supports your personality.
Don't be afraid of change. Spaces and colors are meant to evolve over time. Get inspired by colors and ideas on our pages – Make your color decisions based on the present moment, happiness is here.
Look up – don't forget the ceiling!
Forgetting the ceiling, the fifth wall, in interior design is a common mistake. Yes, the ceiling can be more than white! Paying attention to the ceiling can bring a whole new dimension to your home.
Whether it's painting, wallpapering, or adding a stunning ceiling light, the ceiling is a place where you can really let your creativity shine.
Create your home's story
Home decor is not just about arranging things – it's about telling a story. What is your story? What is the atmosphere you want your home to convey? When you design a space that tells your story, you create a place where you truly feel at home.
Say goodbye to trends
Trends come and go, but authenticity lasts. Don't let trends dictate how your home looks – design a space that feels like your own. When you decorate authentically, you create a home that not only looks good but also feels good.
A safe choice is not someone else's choice – a safe choice is your own choice. Forget those paper-colored walls and start enjoying colors! Note that only with colors can you create the atmosphere of a space. However, if you want that trendiest blue piece of furniture today, first consider if you could renew the old one by painting? You don't always have to buy new.
Small steps towards a big change
Remember, the change doesn't have to be big and dramatic. Even small steps can work wonders.
Go through the rooms and consider what you feel in them – is the space exactly as you want it? Does any corner need a little touch-up?
While renovating and painting, you can declutter and clean: When you change your home, you also change your mind.
