We all like to brag, and even brag, about how modern our house is, how well decorated it is, about every detail that we have added to follow the new trends.
Is your home really a place of inspiration for those who are most restless about decoration?
In this article Orlando modern furniture store proposes ideas to make your house look modern, to keep it up to date with the latest decoration trends, and to make it worthy of a magazine cover.
1. Bet on white environments
Whether for the living room, the hall, the bedroom or any other room in your house, the walls painted white will give the environment greater and better lighting and will give the impression of more depth, achieving apparently much larger spaces.
Another advantage offered by white environments is that, due to its easy and good combination with all kinds of colors and materials, you will have all the possibilities open to decorate every corner of your house.
In addition, an environment with white finishes facilitates relaxation, both for the mind and for the eyes, and gives a feeling of purity and cleanliness.
Lastly, if your house is occupied by those little people who illuminate and brighten our lives but dirty everything they touch, we recommend that you use washable paints.
2. Use colors for decoration details
Despite having the white color with all the advantages that we have mentioned before, if we do not combine it or add colors through the decoration, we will have a very cold and very unwelcoming environment, even sinning a little monotonous and boring. .
For this reason, in living room environments we recommend putting a good and comfortable sofa with a combinable color, such as gray, and using the cushions to bring it to life with more striking colors (blue, yellow, red…); also add vases, pictures or lamps of a color to match the cushions to create a more welcoming and dynamic environment.
On the other hand, for bedroom environments, you can play with sheets and pillows or with blankets and rugs, either with bright colors or pastel shades, as you like best, with which you will get a more attractive space and visual. It can also be useful to add some color to the objects that we put on top of the bedside tables or the dresser, such as a small table mirror, a lamp or some frames with your photos.
3. Put a wallpaper on a piece of wall
One of the details that we like the most is the use of atmosphere-generating wallpaper to decorate a living room or a bathroom. This type of paper allows us to transport ourselves to dream places without having to leave the sofa, or even the bathroom!
Depth, design, personality and elegance is what you will achieve by incorporating this type of decoration in your space. Choose the wall, choose the atmosphere you want to enjoy and add it. And be careful who you invite to your home, it is likely that at the moment they enter the fantastic space you have created they will not want to leave.
Attention! It is very important that you get advice and information about what type of wallpaper you are going to use and which one you are going to put on it, especially if it is for the bathroom, since it has to be a suitable material to withstand humidity, washable and resistant to the light. Generally, to avoid all kinds of problems plasticized or vinyl wallpaper is used.
4. Take a risk with industrial-style lamps
Many interior designers and decorators use this style of lamps to give the environment a more retro, more industrial, more current style. Houses, bars, cafeterias… many places are decorated with industrial lamps for the distinguished touch they provide, because they give personality, because they transport us to ancient times and because, although they are a classic, they are fashionable and beautiful.
Hang an industrial-style lamp above your wooden table in the dining room, above your island for cooking, put a small industrial lamp on your desk or put a floor lamp next to the sofa to illuminate your hours of reading and disconnection.
5. Dress your house with natural wood furniture
An essential requirement and detail that every modern house must have is furniture made of wood (either pine, oak, mindi, walnut…).
Choosing wooden furniture gives the rooms the necessary warmth to achieve a completely welcoming home with a natural look that cannot be achieved with other types of materials.
In addition, given its versatility, wood can be combined with other elements such as metal, glass or methacrylate, so you can easily find and obtain unique and different pieces with which to furnish your home.
Other advantages of wooden furniture are that they are very resistant and strong, easy to maintain and, of course, to clean, because with a simple cloth with water we can leave it as if it just came out of the store.
So get going and decorate your hall with a beautiful console or a sideboard, put your television on a functional TV cabinet or store your clothes and everything else in the room in a charming wooden chest of drawers.
6. Complete your decoration with natural materials
To finish bringing your house up to date and with modern decoration, bet on the natural, materials that make your house more beautiful and welcoming.
Use fabrics such as cotton or linen to dress your bed, for sofa cushions, and for curtains. You will get the touch of freshness that every house needs.
Add vegetable fiber products such as wicker, rattan or bamboo, perfect for wall-mounted mirrors, laundry baskets, small bathroom baskets or as a planter for your plants.
Finally, there is nothing more natural than giving your decoration and your spaces a little touch of green by adding some plants in places such as the entrance next to the wooden console or sideboard, in the dining room to fill in the corner that you have been left empty or in the kitchen as a further complement to the decoration.
This point is the most variable of all, since the amount and type of plants will depend on how fond we are of caring for green areas. I recommend that, if you are not one to water the plants regularly and give them the necessary care so that they are shiny, you use artificial plants for your decoration with which you will always have a perfect environment.
