If you look at those hyper glossy home design covers and think "this is the kind of house I want", then this article would help you get just that. While interior designing is a professional task, you don't always need or can necessarily afford an interior designer to implement their extravagant ideas! Sometimes all you need is planning and implementing your own creativity to get a futuristic home decor of your choice. So we have written down some simplified ways through which you can stylishly set that decor without actually being artistic. 

Ways To Be Your Own Interior Designer While Sitting At Home

1. Choose Your Hues & Set A 3 Colour Scheme

Select three colours that inspire you. Colours have a power of influencing your soul and your mood. There are several colour palettes available online to make a selection from.
To choose the colours:

  • Decide on a colour scheme whether it's complimentary, monochromatic, primary, tertiary, etc. It is all about selecting the colour scheme that soothes and adapts your style. 
  • Now, select three primary colours of your choice and experiment with their shades and hues. 
  • If you are still confused you can always print out few colour selections on an A4 size sheet and place them on a pinboard. 
  • Remember, to use one colour for the walls, the second one for your furniture (such as couches, tables, cupboards and, or shelves) and the third one for accessorising your room.

2. Paint Your Walls Red!

You don't need to be an artist or increase your square footage to paint your walls. Painting your walls is the easiest way to transform the look of your room stylishly no matter what your aesthetic leanings are. If you wish to give your room a fabulous and inviting vibe, you can go through the following ideas to let you achieve just that. 

  • Stencils: Wall Stencils are easily available, economical and help you in customising your walls with a professional touch to it. They are also extremely easy to use. 
  • Metallic paint: If you want to give your walls a classy touch without trying too hard then metallic paints are your best friend. 
  • Patterns: Whether its stripes, checkerboard, polka dots or Harlequin, these are some of the most simple yet chic patterns that can add life to your room. 
  • You can also add colour to your walls without actually painting them. Not all landlords would permit you to paint your walls however, you can still hang framed fabrics or painted panels to make your wall look exquisite. 

3. Add Flowers To Every Room

Flowers have a tendency to heighten your emotions and make you feel positive. While it might seem like a simple idea to place flowers in every room but they can be considered as a final touch to the aesthetic qualities of your interior design. You can also keep scented candles along with twigs or feathers or, add a bonsai plant on that window pane. 

4. Add A Statement Furniture Piece 

Cluttering your room with small decorative pieces all over is not what you are looking for as it only serves to confuse the beholder. You need to set a perfect balance in your room. A statement piece would be the first thing someone would notice when they enter that specific room. 

Examples of Statement Piece:

  • Paintings: You can always add a painting that inspires you on your focal wall 
  • Chandelier: A beautifully lit chandelier is the first thing most people look and can also be budget-friendly. 
  • Couch: A gorgeously designed couch or an upholstered chair can just be enough to steal the spotlight.
