How to decorate a beige interior
First rule. Paint and repaint.
Paint is the cheapest way to update your interior. And the most effective one. You can give a new, but calm color to the entire wall, or paint it in the style of Joan Miró - and you yourself will not recognize your apartment.
Experts have noticed that 60% of Spanish homeowners prefer neutral interior tones. Only 15% choose an intensely saturated color for painting walls. The rest of the percentage of owners who independently repair their homes have not really decided and are inclined to rush - from the classics to the avant-garde.
By the way, the previously popular "gotele" technique - frozen droplets on the walls - is now not so relevant. And so don't worry if you can't do it. You can go smoothly!
In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”
Second rule. "Control the light."
Not only lamps and lampshades are able to carry a decorative function, but also the direction of the luminous flux itself: take objects into the shade or highlight them. Experiment!
In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”
Third rule. "Practice your mirror tricks."
A pair of mirrors, well placed in the room, add light and push the walls apart. You can also play with the design of the frames: the swirling cast iron will hint at your passion for the Baroque, and the LED lighting will clearly indicate the modern lifestyle.
In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”
Fourth rule. "You are not stingy, you are just zealous, or the second life of furniture."
Feel free to polish an old beech table or fix the cabinets in the nursery. Specialized household stores now sell excellent tools for minor repairs - and at an affordable price. You can grind, polish, varnish, remove stains, mask damage, make an object two shades lighter or darker - all with just one movement of your hand! All kinds of liquids, mastics, sprays - get "cosmetics" for your furniture.
Fifth rule. "Hang up new curtains!"
Sometimes this radically solves the problem of changing the image of rooms. Do not forget that drapery in general (curtains, tablecloths, tapestries, covers for upholstered furniture) is a very convenient element of decor: it is easy to combine, just clean-wash, it is not expensive to clean-change.
Sixth rule. "Let things change their purpose."
Otherwise, it can also be called the "ashtray effect". Have you ever come across the same ashtrays in homes or offices? They are all different! And the more unexpected the object serving as it, the more readily this trinket is remembered. An ashtray is a trifle, of course, but your imagination is by no means. Keep this in mind when you start making changes to the interior of your apartment.
In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”
And finally, the seventh rule. "Follow the fashion!"
A budget interior does not mean boring. Fashion trends are in the air for free. For example, now the emerald color dominates - feel free to combine it with the palette that has already developed in your home. Upgrade one shade - everyone will play!
