5 Tips And Tricks For A Successful Interior Home Redesign

Interior home redesign is often a cheaper alternative to buying a new home. However, just because it’s more affordable doesn’t mean it’s a lesser option. You can still redesign your current home into the house of your dreams. That is why it’s essential to have the basics of redesigning, especially the interior of your home. If you’re looking to achieve a killer first impression, redesigning the interior of your home is your go-to hack. You’ll not only modernize the interior, but you’ll also have the opportunity to incorporate home decors that add a personal touch to your home.

Perhaps the most guaranteed way to achieve a state-of-the-art interior design is hiring an interior designer. However, people don’t always have the budget to hire a professional, which shouldn’t limit you. Whether you’re looking to redesign the entire house, spice up your kitchen, or just a selected room in your home, the following tips and tricks will help you achieve your desired home and enjoy the experience while at it.

1. Own Your Home

Look, owning your home goes further than buying a property and raising a building. You have to go the extra mile and give your home an identity. One way to give your home identity is by customizing it. Customizing your home can either reflect your personality or add an extra charm to your home. The goal is, the moment someone walks into your space, there’s a distinct theme that sets your home apart from your neighbors’.

While most redesigning aims at achieving modernity, it doesn’t always have to be the case. Therefore, start by identifying how you’d like your home to feel; it could be vintage, modern, or a blend of the two, among many other designs. After determining your distinct theme, align all other redesigning plans, including the home decors, paints, and materials needed, to fit your customization needs. Then, use 3D modeling software systems like SketchUp Pro to communicate your ideas in 3D. That way, it’ll be easier for you to implement everything when it’s already time to redesign your home’s interior.

2. Seek Inspiration From Different Resources

Now that you’re specific about your customization needs, seek more inspiration for your customization designs. Inspiration from magazines, the internet, Pinterest, among other sources, makes you remember the nitty-gritty of your interior design. While you may have the bigger picture, it’s easy to forget the small details contributing to the entire design concept. That’s where inspiration comes in; it helps you narrow down to the specifics, and sometimes it gives you new creative ideas that you would have otherwise not considered.

To maximize inspiration, create a mood board for your desired interior home redesign. It helps you have a visualization of how the design will look like. With the mood board, you can make necessary changes to the design idea before implementing it. Here are the steps to making your mood board.

• Purchase a soft board and pins from your local art store.
• Pin the design images, fabrics, and other materials on the board according to your design plan.
• Set the board in your current home and let the interior design come alive one inspiration after another.

3. Test The Color Before Making The Final Decision

The colors of your walls can make or break your interior home design concept. That’s why it’s recommended you use neutral colors. You can never go wrong with a combination of a neutral color with a dark accent.

Nevertheless, if you’re big on colors, you have not been left behind. To start, understand that colors are deceiving; they change your space depending on the amount of light at different day hours. Before deciding on color:

• Take a sample of the color and use it to paint a 24 by 36-inch paper.
• Pin the paper on the wall you plan to paint and watch how it reflects and looks at different times of the day; morning, noon, and evening. If it tickles your color buds, go for it.
• If not, follow this process until you’re satisfied with your color of choice.

 

4. Size Up Your Desired Furniture

Furniture comes in different shapes and sizes. You can’t just throw in a piece of furniture without factoring in the space of your home. It’s recommended you have a large furniture statement for a spacious room. However, even for small spaces, having one large piece of furniture helps bring the area to life. Generally, interior designers recommend having a cocktail of both large and small furniture. It could be a sofa, an oversized headboard for your bedroom, or a footstool.

 

5. Play With Patterns and Accessorize Your Home

Patterns can either be on your ceiling, walls, or floor. Instead of painting your walls or ceiling with one color, you can use wallpaper with patterns or paint the wall following a consistent pattern. However, for ceilings, white color is recommended. White reflects light in your room, making it appear brighter and larger. Similarly, you can either play with patterns or be a minimalist for your floor plans. Some of the minimal floor plans you can consider include wood and plain tiles.

If you prefer patterns in your home, be careful not to make your space too busy. For instance, choose harmonized patterns if you choose to have patterns on your wall and floor. Otherwise, your space will look busy, disorganized, and sometimes smaller should the patterns contradict.

To Sum It Up – Successful Interior Home Redesign

The most common reason people shy away from redesigning their home interior is that they’re scared of the cost. However, you can now redesign your house and convert it to your dream home while still working within your budget with the tips listed above.
