5 Ways to Express Your Personality through Room Decorations

Room decorations can make a home truly yours. Whether you’re the type to go for modern minimalist or a more rustic style, you’ll need the right items to complete your chosen look. Thankfully, when picking your room decorations, there are lots of options you can choose from. Let’s take a look at five ways you can make your rooms just the way you like them.

1. Choose a piece to become the focal point of the room

Each room has a purpose. For that room to reach its full potential, it shouldn’t just have the appropriate fixtures in place—it should have the right focal point. And you should determine this early on.

For example, if you just want to relax by watching movies in your den or living room, your TV will be the focal point. Meanwhile, if you have a study, your desk will be that crucial part. Once you’ve selected the focal point, it would be easier to select matching accessories. Let’s say that you’ll pick light colors for your walls to contrast against your black flat-screen TV, making your living room appear more spacious. The couches and chairs that you’ll pick for it can also have white or cream colors to go with the paint scheme. 

2. Order a custom glass chandelier

An overhead source of light is another crucial part of a room. If you want to combine form with function, getting a hand-blown glass chandelier tailor-made to your tastes will give your room a style that’s truly your own.

Bedrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms are three great spots to install a chandelier in. After all, they’re the most spacious areas in your house and they need an adequate source of light. One thing to keep in mind, though: the higher your ceiling, the bigger the chandelier you need to properly illuminate the room.

3. Plan your color scheme

Based on the purpose of your room, you can mix and match colors. If you want your bedroom to have a relaxing atmosphere, try using whites or light blue paint. This makes the eyes relax and puts your mood at ease. Neutral paints allow for more contrast in furniture colors.

For places like the study or the living room, you could spice it up with red or orange. This is if you want to make those rooms appear lively.

4. Complement windows with curtains

If your room has windows, adding curtains can help give you that necessary privacy. This is another area where you can experiment. For instance, if you have blue or white walls, you can either complement them with a similar color or contrast with darker drapes.

You might also want to consider the amount of artificial and natural light that a room will get. Darker curtains are best for rooms with a lot of sunlight since they don’t fade as much, while neutral colors are good if you want the drapes to blend with room decors.

5. Decorate hallways with wall plates

Wall plates are a good way to decorate plain hallways and foyers. They add life to an otherwise plain space, making it more colourful. You can also use them as great complementary pieces in any room.

Take a living room, for example. If it has a blank space and all the furniture is centered around the TV or coffee table, you can try decorating that blank area with wall plates. This can help even out the appearance of your living room.

Any home will always need a unique style if you want to call it your own. By customizing the paint and decorations, you express your own personality in the place.
