What makes a house a home? The love and care you put into it. Indian homes are the embodiment of the culture and traditions and attract the eye with their myriad of colors bursting in every corner of the home. When you enter a well-designed home, a sense of warmth and relaxation sets in, making it a pleasant and wonderful space to be. Styling can be called a balancing act, matching the right elements and colors is crucial to creating an aesthetic and appealing flavor to your space. Of course, going to design school just to style home wouldn’t be the most feasible option out there. However, with a few pointers and an overall idea of styling, we are sure you will turn your home into a masterpiece.
In this blog, we will be taking you through a few areas you need to keep an eye on while styling your home. Read on!
Add A Touch Of Outdoors, Indoors
With more people migrating to the city for jobs and opportunities, the number of independent homes is being replaced by apartments. The lack of a garden or open space does not have to limit your access to the outdoors.
Balcony gardens are a great option for apartments to have a small kitchen garden or flower garden to attract birds and butterflies. If your home does not have a private balcony, you can always opt for hardy and easy maintenance indoor plants like water bamboo, ferns, or Peace Lilies.
Turn Clutter into Art
If you are a collector of showpieces or a thrifter who has a lot of beautiful pieces this is for you. Instead of stuffing them all into a showcase or a corner, break the monotony by placing books or lamps in-between shelves.
The asymmetrical approach will shift the narrative from cluttered to aesthetic.
Space Saving Furniture
If you are big on furniture, look for options that have a multipurpose or can be easily stored away when not in use. This will help you create more room quickly and without much hassle.
If you have a large piece of furniture or an antique that you cannot part ways with, try picking out your other pieces around that piece. This will not only create a consistent flow but it will also minimize the number of pieces you bring into the space.
Pick A Style And Stay Consistent
A common phenomenon across most Indian homes is that we have a different aesthetic or style for each space. This inconsistent theme obstructs the flow of your home and becomes overwhelming. A simple formula to help you solve this is 60:30:10 – allow us to explain. Pick a colour palette and decide on the key colour, use it for 60% of your design such as wall paint, 30% for the secondary colour such as your upholstery and 10% for the accent pieces such as cushions, drapes and curtains.
