Nowadays, there are more and more pieces that are both comfortable and stylish, but when you are decorating your whole home, you will find yourself picking between style and comfort. Here is how you can balance comfort and style in your home and decorate your home to look fantastic.
Have Fun with Scale
Adding larger pieces will make your home interior look instantly more interesting. It not only creates style statements and centerpieces but that will also make the whole space feel more comfortable and cozy. If you are working with a smaller space, you can still create the same effect by adding larger lamps or pendant lights.
Pick the Perfect Rug
Rugs are the best way to make your design come together but can be a bit tricky when it comes to picking out the right size. When you are picking out a cozy rug, make sure that it is big enough so that most or all furniture fits on it because if you pick a small rug and put it in the middle of the room, it won’t look as good. The key to having both style and comfort is in the size because if your furniture fits on, it will look amazing, and your feet will rest on a nice soft rug.
Layer Soft Textures
Most people make the mistake of not layering or using textures because they are too scared. But it is the key to having a stylus and comfortable home. The safest and best way to do so is by combining natural colors and textures like wool and silk.
Utilize the Darkness
Not all homes will have rooms with amazing large windows and great lighting, but that doesn’t mean that you should have a gloomy room. Your instinct will tell you to paint it white, so it looks as bright as possible. But that can make a bit off-putting. Don’t overlook the importance of color and incorporate the darkness by choosing rich dark hues to make the cozy scheme. The key to making it look stylish, yet comfortable is to add bright accents.
Pick a Quality Floor
Floors are often forgotten about and picked just to have a floor. But a floor can be used as a statement piece because it can bring that wow factor in the room. The most popular floor option in Australia is the bamboo floor and that is for a reason. They are popular because it is simple and neutral yet a statement. When you are picking out bamboo flooring in Sydney you need to make sure that you pick the best quality one. That way you will have floors that are both durable and stylish.
Decorate Your Stairs
Sometimes, your hallway will feel bare and not stylish, even when it’s decorated. A great way to spice it up is by decorating your stairway by covering it with carpet. The trick is not to cover the whole stairs and leave a couple of inches on each side to show off the wood floors. That way, you will divide the space and trick your eyes into thinking that the area is much wider than it is. And the carpet on the stairs will provide your feet with cushion.
Find the Right Sofa
When you are decorating or redecorating your home, it can be taught to decide where to start. Many people make the mistake and start by adding accessories, but the key to having a stylish and comfortable room is to start with the most significant piece, which is the sofa. The idea is to find your perfect large sofa and then decorate around that piece, so it is a critical failure. Take time to pick it out, it is better to invest in a quality sofa that will not only be stylish, but it will be durable and comfortable. This method works in all rooms, always start with the most significant piece of furniture.
