COMBINE ONE ORDINARY WITH ONE SPECIAL!

  • 3 min read

Here are easy tricks on how to make a space interesting with small changes

If you don't know where to start, take these small and effective change tips from interior professionals, which you can apply in all spaces at your home or workplace.

Boldly use your own favorite colors and start the change one space at a time.

Combine one ordinary with one special

🟠If you have a regular bed, get special reading lights

🟠Ordinary bedroom? Paint the room's ceiling with your favorite color

🟠Add color subtly to the children's room - paint the children's room floor green or pink!

🟠If you have a regular kitchen island, pair it with stunning chairs

🟠Boring bathroom - invest in personal and fun towels

🟠Ordinary dining table? Hang an interesting lamp above the table or boldly paint the table frame with color

Views are important

When you look around the room, there should be interesting elements, ones you don't see everywhere - something that catches the eye.

Examine the views of your home from different rooms, but possibly also from outside -
What can be seen inside from the window, what view meets you immediately when looking from the front door?

What kind of view do the rooms have when their doors are kept open daily? What color is the farthest wall that is visible?

With these tips, you make the space planned and unique

🟠You can make an interesting change with colors

Blue sofa, blue in the rug, and blue in the painting behind the sofa.
Paint the living room walls blue and the hallway ceiling in the same shade. Also paint the moldings and doors in the wall's shade.

Also pick an accent color that you use only as a spice - but repeatedly in different rooms - the accent color can be varied, for example, according to the seasons.

For example, warm terracotta works in winter and autumn in cushions or throws - textiles are easy and inexpensive to change to a lighter shade in spring.

There can still be a third shade behind the interior, used together with the main color - replace all white surfaces with a shade, try light brown, pastel pink, or natural white instead of plain white. 

Always combine a painted shade with wallpaper in the color wrap so that there isn’t just plain white wall next to it.

🟠You can do it with shapes

Repeat one chosen shape in several elements throughout the whole home.

Use a grid 

Edge and posture: Make a grid mirror wall in the hallway or living room and repeat the grid theme for example in the living room coffee table shape or kitchen lights. Paint a checkered floor in the hallway or kitchen. Make a checkered panel wall from MDF strips in the hallway or bathroom.

Use round and organic shapes

Gentle shapes: Mirrors, rugs, living room coffee table... This style suits especially boho and retro interiors.

Use vertical lines

Sleekness: Make a slat or molding wall in the kitchen and a slat strip on the wall behind the TV in the living room. Arrange paintings in vertical lines. Get a strongly striped rug. Paint a thick color stripe on one wall...
