Often, in our busy day to day lives, we can become so caught up with the routines that we long for a pleasant change. This is especially true in this work-from-home era when we are shut inside our homes, all day, every day. It is good to rethink your surroundings to personalise it and add that extra element of elegant allure in such a situation. However, one may not always have the time and budget to consider a full-fledged interior design revamp. Yet, by rethinking even the smallest of elements that are a part of one’s interior decor, one can successfully transform any space for improved comfort and delight.
Furniture and allied accessories can fashion an intricate charm into the interiors and convey people’s personalities through space making. With this idea at the forefront, here are five decor must-haves for any area:
Swivel chairs
Swivel Chairs are a modern spin on the conventional comfort chair with a pivot at the base that allows it to move with the user and, thus, is easy to get in and out. Traditionally considered ideal for workspaces, the wide range of designs and styles available in the market for these chairs makes them a superb addition to living areas, study rooms, and comfy nooks in bedrooms.
Wall Art and Wallpapers
Wall art and wallpapers play a massive role in making any room come alive. Whether classical, modern or abstract, wall art decor can be a stand-alone element or multiple pieces can be coupled together to create an art-themed feature on the wall. Wallpapers come in several prints and patterns and can be used as a backdrop to highlight a distinct piece of furniture or emphasise a particular feel.
Rugs and Carpets
There is nothing like a giant, stunning rug to underline and complete the look of an area. They are available in multiple shapes, sizes, patterns, and styles to help add more definition to a space, as envisioned. However, rugs should be carefully selected, depending on how one intends to occupy a room. For example, woollen rugs are more durable and easier to clean than silk rugs, which are pretty delicate and relatively expensive. On the other hand, cotton rugs are cheaper but need to be replaced as they wear off quickly.
Movable Pouffes
Pouffes are amongst the most stylish and versatile pieces of furniture. They add flexibility to a zone’s furniture configuration and can be easily moved around to create an informal change in the furniture layout. Using pouffes in vivid patterns and colours in contrast with the existing theme can make a space more vibrant and dynamic.
Cushions
Cushions ensure a cosy feel while adding class and comfort to sofas, chairs and even beds. One can choose from embroidered classic cushions and whimsical animal prints to Houndstooth and Fringe cushions, all of which, in their own accord, add a graceful and exotic accent to the space. One can use similar-looking pillows for a furniture piece or mix and match various shapes, sizes, and finishes to juxtapose in style.
To re-emphasise, by reconsidering even what might seem like ‘small’ elements, one can make a big difference to the quality of the surroundings and, therefore, one’s well being. We are always in the process of ‘home styling’, and making informed choices can lead to rewarding outcomes.
