Winter is right around the corner. Now that you spend more time inside your home, do you feel unhappy with the way it looks? Learn more about how you can start a DIY interior design project…and successfully complete it!
Decorating your home yourself means you won’t have to pay someone else to do it. The results will truly reflect your personal taste, and you’ll be able to take full credit for them. If this is your first time trying out your hand at interior design, find out below how to get organized and get your project started!. If you’ve gone through the process before and were pleased with the results, there’s no reason not to do it again.
Before you start, think what you like most in terms of colors, furniture placement, materials, textures. We recommend using the “Style & Error” technique. This is a fundamental method of solving interior decorating problems. “Style & Error” means repeated, varied attempts, until you find a style that is just right. Don’t expect this to be a finite or static thing either… the “Style & Error” operation will continue throughout your life. Each new life phase or new property will force your hand, to somewhat reinvent your ideas on style. This is the ridiculously fun part – embrace it!
There is a reason for all the avid “Pinners” on Pinterest — people crave an amazing home interior. As most of us have already discovered, decor websites can spark a flame of creativity that we never knew we had.
Go onto Pinterest to search for home styles that appeal to you, or go onto MYMOVE and use the “Collect This Idea” button to gather design images that excite you, or simply grab some design magazines and cut out pictures that speak to you. After hunting and gathering for creative DIY interior design images that inspire you, step back and look at all that you have collected — this should tell the story of your design style. You may be surprised at the style you crave to create.
Switch pieces of furniture that have remained in the same corners for too long – this can instantly give your space a fresh look. Move your sofa to a different direction in the living room. Group a few armchairs together to create a cozy conversation zone, instead of scattering them around the house. For example, think of all the ways your lifestyle has changed during your quarantine days, and re-arrange your furniture accordingly. For instance, you may need to move your guestroom furniture to create a home office or a workout area.
Now’s the time to deep clean all the corners, and declutter your home. If you’d been eyeing any dirty corners, lampshades, curtains, rusted appliances, dusty carpets, or dirty outdoor furniture, now’s the time to clean them up.
And, simply donate what you don’t use. Make your home feel less overwhelmed with lesser plastic bottles, old cartons, newspapers, medicine bottles, and so on! Re-organize all your wardrobes and closed shelves. Your kitchen shelves would also love a re-arrangement with labelled containers, spices sorted out, and so on.
Giving your home a new look will be extremely rewarding! You can use the upcoming winter months to transform your home with some cool DIY interior design projects!
Take a look at all corners of your home, and you’ll find plenty of ideas – you could paint a table, hand-build a new wooden ledge, or convert an old fabric into a framed piece of art. Sometimes just making small changes in your home can inject more energy into your space.
