You’re done with the heavy lifting, having seen the foundation poured and the framing go up. Now, it’s time to shift your focus to the house’s interior, and we’ve got some tips and tricks on decorating your new home!

Even the most unique floorplan can seem to cry out for your distinctive touch on the look and feel. Where to begin? Some of the influences to consider include the following:

1. Hardware

What a difference a light fixture, handles, fittings, mirrors, and even the plumbing you use can make to a room. Warm things up with brass and cool them down with stainless steel; it’s all about your individual choices that will set the room’s tone.

2. Furniture

It’s critically important that the furniture you choose is both proportionate and complimentary to the room. Filling an already small sitting room with oversized furniture will make it feel uncomfortably cluttered. However, keeping the furniture in proportion to the room can make it seem roomier than it may be in terms of square footage.

3. Tiles

Whether it’s for the floor or a backsplash, choose your tile carefully. There are many designs to make your room stand out, so it can be a way to make a difference with a relatively small price tag.

4. Window Dressings

Bare windows are calling for something on them. Whether a sleek blind or a more decorative fabric framing, windows can make a statement independent of anything else in the room.

5. Paint

Most people react immediately to colour. Imprinting your style on a new home through colour is an easy way to achieve the effect you may be looking for.

There are many ways you can make a house your own. Often, it is the small things that matter. So, don’t be afraid to add what you thought was a garish throw pillow; it might just make your room stand out. Best of all, it means you are one step closer to living your new home dream.
