5 Interior Design Tips That Make an Impression

Creating an interior design concept for your home can be an exciting time. However, creating that “wow” factor can be an overwhelming task with so many colors, textures, and designs to choose from. To help you create that "wow" factor in your home, we’ve compiled a list of interior design tips to make the task easier.

Barn Doors

Interior barn doors are always impressive. Whether you choose a stylish single door or go for total sophistication with double doors, your guests will be wowed.

When you think of interior barn doors, you probably think “rustic,” however, interior barn door designs have come a long way. Now you can easily find an interior barn door for any style, from rustic to modern and chic. Barn doors come in every finish you can think of, and many have glass panel options.

You can also find a variety of hardware to customize your barn doors. These can range from vintage to modern and everything between.

Lighting Concepts

Unique lighting fixtures can give the room personality. Try looking at local lighting shops that offer different designs than large corporate stores. Antique stores often have interesting light fixtures you won’t find anywhere else.

Also, when you’re shopping for light fixtures, the bulbs can equally create a "wow" factor. You may want to begin your light fixture research with the bulbs and decide the type of lighting you like the most. Most light fixtures can only use specific bulbs.

Greenery

You can never go wrong with adding plants and greenery to your space. Not only do the plants themselves create “wow” factors, you can also get creative and fun with the vases or pots you house them in.

Not only do plants look great, many indoor plants improve the air quality in your home. For example, plants such as Peace Lilys are known for being great air purifiers. However, if even the hardiest plant has difficulty surviving in your home, artificial greenery can also look fantastic.

If you choose to go with live plants and have pets in the home, you should make sure the plants you choose to decorate with are non-toxic to animals.

Statement Wallpaper

Wallpaper is often overlooked and thought of as a dated concept. In actuality, you can find the perfect wallpaper to complement every design style. Wallpaper can add color, texture, and depth to a room.

Wallpaper can be very versatile. If you don’t want the entire room to have wallpaper, try using it on an accent wall. You can also get crafty with textured wallpaper by painting over it to create a whole new design.

Pops of Color

In an attempt to make everything flow, many people end up with too much matchy-matchy. Also, too many neutral tones can end up looking dull.

Pops of bold color can bring the room together and be pleasing to the eye. Just make sure to choose color pops that will flow with the rest of the decor. Using colors found in artwork on your wall is an easy way to tie the room together.
