Interior Appeal: Easy Upgrades To Make Your Home Look Incredible

In the age of Instagram and glossy interior magazines, it’s natural to long for a home that looks incredible. Our homes have evolved from bases for sleeping and spending quality time with family to multifunctional spaces that cater to all activities. If you’re looking to enhance interior appeal and make your home look fabulous without undertaking a huge renovation project, here are some easy upgrades to explore. 

Master the art of accessorizing

One of the best ways to transform the interior of your home without spending a fortune or taking on a host of DIY jobs is to master the art of accessorizing. Accessories and accents can change the look and vibe of a room instantly with minimal effort. From wall art and mirrors in a hallway or living room and new lamps in the bedroom to potted plants in the office and storage pots in the kitchen, you can add accessories to embrace new trends. Add color and prints and change the feel of the space.

Think about the styles and themes you like and how you use the room. If you’re looking to create tranquil spaces, for example, a relaxing, inviting bedroom or a quiet place to study, work or read, it’s a great idea to add candles and plants. Use storage to declutter and keep the room tidy. For social spaces, you can make a feature of storage and shelving for bottles and glasses. Add vases of bright flowers and hang fun, playful wall art. 

Use color to transform aesthetics and set the tone

We often focus on color as a means of enhancing the look of a room. But, it can also impact the feel of the space. Changing the color of your rooms will alter the aesthetic with very little effort and expense and it can also help you to set the tone. Different colors influence our moods. Neutrals, pastels and shades of green, blue and purple are proven to soothe and calm. Yellow, orange and pink are uplifting and energizing.

To inject color, you can paint the walls, use wallpaper, add accessories such as soft furnishings, or buy colored furniture. If you want to add a new colorway but you have a small room, or you don’t want to be too audacious, keep the walls understated and add colored accessories. If you have white walls in your kitchen, for example, you can use plant pots, storage jars and pictures and frames to add interest. 

Upgrade your flooring

Flooring plays a crucial functional role in our homes. It can also have a major impact on the look of a room. The materials and styles you choose can modify the aesthetic. They also help you recreate themes you like or mix and match design styles. There’s a vast array of options available to suit all budgets and requirements. For rustic homes, wood is a brilliant choice. For an industrial feel, concrete effect and natural slate flooring work perfectly.

To add a touch of luxe while enjoying the benefits of hard-wearing flooring that is easy to maintain and keep clean, why not opt for luxury vinyl planks? Vinyl is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and family homes. You can clear up spillages in seconds and your floor will stand the test of time. Browse galleries, visit stores and showrooms and get quotes. If you know what kind of flooring you want, you can use search engines to compare prices and find offers. 

Create new focal points

If you want to update your decor and make your home look amazing without taking on a lot of work, creating new focal points in each room is a great idea. With this option, you can freshen up your interiors without changing everything in every room. Think an oversized vintage mirror or a chandelier in a romantic boudoir. Or a colorful couch in a retro living room. Draw eyes and turn heads with quirky wall art in a home studio or dining area. Use a solid wood table or a stylish range cooker to elevate your kitchen design. It’s an excellent idea to search online, visit vintage stores and salvage yards and check out auction sites and antique stores to find unique pieces. 

Many of us enjoy whiling away the hours flicking through glossy interior design magazines and scrolling through social media feeds. If you’ve been inspired to revamp your home and enhance interior appeal, you don’t have to spend months renovating or remodeling or spend a fortune. There are some simple ways to upgrade your home. Master the art of accessorizing, think about how you use color and create new focal points. Consider upgrading your flooring and use storage to keep your home tidy and clutter-free.
