A professionally
designed home looks like it achieves its beauty effortlessly. However, professionals
know that mastering a certain décor is anything but effortless — every choice,
right down to the paint, matters. You don’t have to work with a professional to
recreate the look you want, you just have to pay attention to what’s already
around you.
A DIY Tip for Every Project
Do you count the
days until the new Houzz electronic newsletter arrives? Do you worship Martha
Stewart and every tip she releases? Even if you don’t have 2 years worth home
décor magazines stashed in your bookcase, gathering ideas now makes future
decisions easier.
Start saving your
favorite ideas on paper in a special place. When it’s time to redecorate, you’ll
have a handy resource of ideas that match your unique taste, whether it’s
vintage, contemporary or something in between.
How to Recreate a Vintage Home Style
Vintage is one of
the hottest trends in home design. You can achieve a vintage look by mixing
real vintage furnishings with newly purchased ones. Vintage artwork, pottery
and accents are great ways to give your home a vintage feel — tag sales are great
for finding one-of-a-kind and quirky pieces. Mix real vintage décor with a furnishing
such as a Persian-inspired
carpet. You’ll get the vintage style, minus the worn and smelly remnants.
If you’re planning
to renovate your kitchen or bath, choose traditional white cabinetry and quartz
countertops that resemble marble. Brass fixtures and subway tile complete the
look beautifully.
Traditional Home Décor
Traditional home
décor is always in style, but today’s most innovative traditional looks blend
pieces from different collections. Instead of buying a sofa, loveseat and chair
in the same upholstery, try mixing pieces that complement one another instead.
For example, choose accent furnishings that share the same finish but not the
identical style. You can also invest in a classic
sofa with accent chairs in different upholstery to give your room a
traditional style that’s anything but plain.
Modern Home Design
Contemporary
furnishings give your home a completely different feel. But today’s modern home
design is anything but cold — warm contemporary furnishings can give your décor
an almost global feel. Seating is a great way to test out a modern look, and
few modern pieces have achieved the appeal of the Parsons
chair. Perfect for the kitchen, dining room or anyplace where you need
additional seating, the Parsons chair is an elegant and comfortable option that
blends with almost any home. Need a table to match? Try the Charlestown
Glass Table.
