8 EASY TIPS FOR A MORE INSPIRED INTERIOR

-

Friends from GussyDesig­n Inc. share these tips if you want a quick, budget-friendly, and easy way to have a more inspired home interior. You can do the following with your family to make the project more personal and fun for all.

1. Create your own personal nook at home

It can be your work desk, makeup station, or an arts and crafts station. Invest in a desk with storage, a comfortabl­e chair, and a chic table lamp.

2. Put soft finishes

Try to update your living room through fun pillows, new drapes, and throws. These add some pattern to the design and are easy to replace.

3. Add some low and mid-level lighting

Table lamps, sconces, or floor lamps really add to the overall mood of the home, especially when you don’t need to keep all lights turned on.

4. Get some new rugs and layer them

If you’re bored with your flooring, get some new rugs and layer them! This will prevent you from having to do a total renovation. Rugs are also easier to replace and there are so many types that are kid and pet-friendly, too.

5. Create an accent wall by adding wallpaper or by doing a gallery wall

You can even do both by installing new wallpaper and adding statement frames. This will create a fun area that’s sure to be Instagram-worthy.

6. Add indoor plants

Green is in these days. Add indoor plants into your interiors and take good care of them. These don’t only literally add “life” to any interior, they’re also a great stress-relieving hobby to start pursuing.

7. Bring in new sets of plates, glasses, and cutlery

It’s always nice to mix and match your tableware for a more inspired meal set up, even if it’s just an ordinary day.

8. Don’t forget to declutter

A happy home is a clean and orderly home. A clutterfre­e space helps give you clearer thoughts and inner peace. There’s no joy in seeing dirt and mess.
