When it comes to interior design in your home, there are many different routes you can take. Factors like the type of home you live in, your budget, and your own sense of personal style, will all play a role in how your interiors will look.
From traditional interiors to minimal, modern design and just about everything in between taking cues from your favorite fashion architects and even from your favorite fashion designers are all ways to get inspired.
Get Inspired
You can get inspired easily these days when it comes to home design and interior décor. Some great sources of design include, but of course are not limited to, the following:
- You Favorite Fashion Magazines
- Architectural and Home Magazines
- Interiors of your favorite stores. If you have ever been to a luxury fashion store designed by world renowned fashion architect Peter Marino, you will have enough design inspiration to last you a lifetime. Most luxury fashion brands spend millions of dollars on their stores overall design and presentation. Take advantage of their wealth of knowledge and expertise. You can add small interior design elements to you living space based on what you see there.
- Interiors of your fashionable friends. If you have a friend that has a penchant for interior design and has a beautifully designed and well-appointed home, enlist her design advice and assistance. Chances are he or she may have some great tips for you that you may not have considered on your own.
Hire an Interior Designer
If you have a great vision for your home interiors but you don’t have the time or the ability to execute it, you may want to consider hiring an interior designer. You may not be a do-it-yourself type person and this is completely ok. If you can communicate your vision to the person you hire clearly, this is a great way to take your inspiration and make it into a reality.
Search Online
Another great way to get inspired is to just get online and do a quick search for design elements that represent your sense of personal style as well as the style of your home. You can turn to social media as well to search beautiful imagery especially on Instagram. Throw in a few hashtag search items in the home décor style of your choice and you will be well on your way to getting more ideas for your home interiors.
Small Changes for Maximum Effect
If you are on a shoestring budget you can still add fashionable elements to your living spaces but you will have to be a bit more creative with how you approach the task. Look at simple and inexpensive fixes that can literally transform the look and feel of a room.
Paint one wall in a bright pop of color to add drama and depth to a room, play with lighting, mirrors, and artwork for your walls. There are endless ways to add fashion and flair to your home on a budget.
