Home that makes all heads turn

Do you want a showstopper home? A place that has more shock appeal rather than sober value. Step outside the everyday traditions of how a room should look and inject your own style and beliefs. It’s all about taking the traditional rules of interior design and breaking them, but in style. This is how anyone can create the look:

Flooring: The flooring here is completely open to your own expression. There are no rules to follow to achieve this look. It’s all about creating impact. The style has a very arty expressive side that should be oozing with your own personality. A pop icon on the rug can be the centre point of your home.

Colours: Bold and bright colours are common but let them not get over the top. It’s all about stepping outside the box and doing something different yet very chic.

Fabrics and textiles: Interesting and unique fabrics and textiles can help add flare to the room. Anything from a room designed with animal print, faux fur and leather to a sofa full of cushion with interesting patterns can be used to create this look.

Window dressings: Curtains and blinds of all types can work but try to avoid anything plain. Try bright patterns and colours like retro patterns or lime green curtains.

Lighting: Anything from a stylish retro lamp to a superfuturistic lighting will look great. Use lighting to create the mood and highlight key areas within the room to enhance the overall feel.

Accessories: Artwork and accessories should be unique and offbeat. Avoid traditional art and opt for more expressionist pieces that make a statement and have a story. Kitsch items must be conversation starters.
