Easy Ways To Add Glamour in Your Interiors

Even if we’ve never been in one, we’ve seen images of some very glamorous home interiors. Then we take a look at our home and think, ‘that’s never going to happen.’ Who said? With some clever and not so difficult to achieve solutions, you too can add that little bit of glamour to your home. It might not make the cover of a magazine, but it will definitely get a more upscale look.

Take a closer look at those lavish pictures of interiors. You will find that they often have things in common, even if they are different homes. So, let’s dive in and see what those common factors are so you too can incorporate them into your interiors for a classy, chic look.

Declutter:

Before any magic can happen, you definitely have to remove the clutter. Just by doing that, you’ll already find a change. Besides clutter, our homes have become practically cable-based with wires all over. These need to be taken out of sight. Forever.

Fabrics:

If your couch or chairs are drab and dull and the wear and tear is obvious, that will have a domino effect on the entire room. Fabrics like silk, suede, leather, velvet are very rich, and give a posh look. But the posh look comes with a heavy price tag. Besides the price and what your budget can afford, you also have to note how much wear and tear are you expecting? These types of fabrics wouldn’t work well with young children in the house. Food and drink spills, the occasional jumping up and down on the furniture, and you get the picture! So you could go for a soft cotton type of fabric for easier washing. Corduroy is also a nice choice, and it’s durable.

The color you choose for fabric often boils down to two deciding points; either you want the sofa and chairs to make a bold statement, or you want them to blend in with the rest of the furniture. A bold fabric will make it more difficult to scheme the rest of the area, but it’s often done. To blend in, you might be better off to choose a solid color.

Flooring:

The flooring is usually the first thing noticed upon entering any home. Cracked or stained flooring need to fixed and polished. While hardwood is the staple for luxury flooring, people still often opt for other types of flooring such as engineered wood, ceramics, or concrete among other choices. Microcement, which is a covering used over new and older flooring can be found at https://carrcrete.co.uk/microcement.html and worth considering since many interior designers use it to give a seamless look to the flooring.

 

Lighting:

We can assure you that no glamour or elegance comes out of a bare, dangling light bulb. It’s not difficult to find shades and fixtures that will suit your budget and add classiness to a room. A lampshade can become a piece of art and not just a functioning piece.

The best thing is that you can play around with lighting and choose areas that you might want to use strong lighting, and other areas where you want to dim it down. People use different styles for different rooms. If your home is on the classic side, it might be a good choice to use more modern types of lighting to add a newer, sleeker look. The opposite works also if your home is on the modern side. An antique shade or chandelier can be the piece of art the interior needs.

Colors:

You can also notice in those wow home interiors how color is used. Colors are often used sparingly. A part of a wall might be colored brightly, while the rest of it subtle. A couch might be a solid beige or any solid color, but it is accented with bright and colorful pillows or cushions. Using too many colors can easily make everything clash and that’s not what you want. You need to use colors in specific areas or with specific pieces.

Elegance is a touch here a touch there

If your home interior is relatively in good shape, you can have more than a glamorous home with just a few touches by adding color and unique pieces. If you are renovating on a larger scale, this is your chance to get it all right from floors to ceilings. Don’t rush into purchasing just because it’s a good buy. Think about the purchase first and imagine how it will add to the dreamy interior that you want.
