When you walk through your front door, does your home impress you every time? Here are some helpful tips for creating visual interest in your home.
Play Around With Textures
Texture can do a lot to make your home more interesting to be in. For instance, you can fill your living room couch with chunky knitted throw blankets, soft faux fur throw pillows, and decorative pillows of various shapes and sizes to make it feel more lived in and personalized. Don’t forget about adding textures to coffee tables, kitchen countertops, dining tables, entryway tables, and shelves for added personality and style.
Incorporate Candles in Your Home
Lighting plays a considerable role in how your home can feel to others. The temperature of your lighting can easily influence the mood. Cool lighting creates an exciting, vibrant atmosphere, while warm lighting creates a calming, cozy mood. So decorating with candles can easily create visual interest and warmth in your home.
You can place candles on top of a fireplace mantle for a touch of warmth to your living room area while playing around with candle widths, heights, and lengths for more personality. You can also add candles to your backyard area and explore various atmosphere-boosting scents to increase positive feelings.
Paint Your Interior Trim
The color of your home’s trim can influence the ambiance entirely. It’s common for homeowners to leave their trim its natural wood color or painted white for a brighter, more vibrant feel. The trim can be around windows, floors, and doors of any room in your home.
If you want to create more visual interest, painting your home’s trim can make the walls pop out. It’s a fun way to make your home look visually striking and unique. If you aren’t sure about painting the entire trim, paint a small section and leave it for a few weeks to see how you feel.
Fill Up Wall Space
The walls in your home can create an impeccable amount of visual interest by adding wall art, paintings, and sculptures. Bare walls can create a sense of height for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, but they can also feel sterile and boring.
Hanging up colorful, vibrant paintings and metal or clay sculptures can offer guests something to look at while they visit your home. Play around with different colors, shapes, and sizes that bring the room together.
