There are several interior design tricks that the top designers use to give modern homes a new look that any novice can use with little money or effort. Sometimes the greatest impact comes from the smallest change. Let the following tips serve as an inspirational guide as you give your living area a facelift.

1. Don’t Stray from Classic Lines.

Keep the lines of your more expensive or larger furniture classic. This is a best practice whether you are upgrading to your dream home or you are a poor student furnishing your first apartment. Classic lines are unlikely to ever go out of style.

2. Showcase Your Personality.

Have some fun making your space an extension of your personality. How many homes have you been in that fail to display the owners’ hobbies, passions, tastes, travels, and interests? It’s a little off-putting, isn’t it? Find ways to include the colors you love through removable wallpaper and pillows. Show off the items you have collected or the pictures you have taken. Or, incorporate some zebra print on an area rug or footstool if you happen to be fond of that striped animal.

3. Create Vignettes.

You can transform a space from boring to remarkable with a few decorative objects. However, simply showcasing the decorative objects isn’t enough. You must also place them into vignettes. A vignette in home design is a grouping of furniture or other objects. For instance, a grouping of chairs seated next to an indoor fire place, a grouping of items on a table, or a collection of art on a wall are all vignettes. You create places for eyes to stop and relax by arranging objects this way.

4. Spend Extra on Seating.

Your sofa is the one item that you should be sure to splurge on. But, picking the best type of seating for a room can be difficult. What is a high-quality sofa? What should your budget be? How big should it be? What fabric? What colors speak to you?

5. Make the Layout Functional.

The functional layout of the room is the very start of interior design. There are several online tools that can help you with design and layout. You can input furniture and room measurements then play with the room layout.

With these tips, you will be well on your way to making your home the envy of all your friends.
