Styling is the first step to turning a house into a home. Being a new home buyer, it might be an overwhelming prospect to spruce up and add character to a home, and knowing where to start can be difficult. Here are our tips to styling your new home.
Decluttering
Before you begin styling your house, you need to declutter. Sort through your things and get rid of what you don’t need. This will create space and give you the flexibility to bring your house to life.
If you’ve discovered you have too many things cluttering up your house, it might be time to consider a garage sale.
Styling tips
There are many factors to consider when it comes to styling your new home. Here are some of the tips we recommend you start with:
- Colour schemes
Start by choosing a colour that you like and work your colour palette around that. You don’t have to stick to just one colour either. Be creative and consider how light or dark you want the room to appear. - Lighting
Once you’ve monitored the natural light that filters through your new house, choose your light fixtures accordingly. You might not need to place a lamp where you think you do. Be sure you utilise the natural lighting as much as you can. - Space
Create space by being strategic with your furniture placements. If your ceilings are a little low and you want to create more height, use low furniture to decorate the room. Use mirrors to create dimension and the illusion of space throughout the room. - Less is more
Don’t fill your new home with stylish trinkets and undo all of the decluttering you worked so hard to achieve. Abide by the ‘less is more’ rule of thumb to achieve a more open and minimalist look. - Go green
Consider filling spaces throughout the house with greenery by including indoor plants. Plants will help to make your rooms feel fresher and lighter, especially if you utilise the natural light.
Fine Art
Add unique flair to your new home with decorative fine art pieces. These could be things you’ve purchased from your favourite artists, sentimental family heirlooms or things you’ve picked up from your travels around the world. Whatever they may be, decorating your home with the art that speaks to you is a great way to make your new house feel more like home.
Getting your fine art pieces from one place to another however, is not so simple. Moving valuable works of art yourself is a stressful and risky business. Instead of taking the risk, consider hiring the professionals to get the job done. At Grace, we provide high quality fine art removal services across the country and internationally.
