Select a Color Scheme You Love

When it comes to design and home decor ideas, the color palette you choose will set the scene. Whether you adore the concept of rich, earthy hues or prefer clean neutrals, this is the best way to determine how to transform your home into a space you’ll love. Start by choosing a variety of paint color swatches you can try on the walls at home. Look at the paint in natural light, artificial light, and at night to help you determine how it’ll look at different times during the day. Aside from wall colors, you’ll also want to think about the color of your floors, window treatments, and furniture. Living room furniture upholstery should be versatile since you can always change other things later, such as the wall color or décor. This doesn’t mean that your new living room furniture has to be boring. It’s important to choose an upholstery color or shade that you truly love, but also one that will continue to look fabulous in the room regardless of the changing trends.

Explore a range of color families to help you determine which works best in your home, and which ones are most appealing to you. Cool colors like blue or green look lovely in a kitchen or bathroom. Earthy or deep colors such as tan, brown, or rust orange can give a living space a boho-chic aesthetic. The key is to not just find colors that you like, but also to choose a variety of coordinating colors that play well off one another. Of course, you can always choose a simple two-tone color scheme like black and white if you choose. Add pops of color with your lighting finishes, wall art, and accessories like area rugs and throw pillows. Make sure you look closely at a variety of color options before you decide, particularly when it comes to the walls and flooring.

Make Sure Your Furniture Fits Your Lifestyle

While having beautiful furniture is a surefire way to create your dream space, it’s also vital that each item works well to suit your lifestyle. For example, you want to pick out living room sofas that are extremely durable, comfortable, and roomy. A sectional is a good option if you have a large living room and enjoy entertaining a lot of guests at once. Sleeper living room sofas can be a good choice if you don’t have an extra guest room, but you tend to have a few overnight guests on occasion. Think about not just how your new living room furniture will look in the space, but also how it will serve you. Never sacrifice when it comes to things like quality and comfort, or you may end up regretting your purchase later.

Multifunctional furniture can enhance your home and your life. Storage ottomans and benches will help you keep this part of the home neat and organized. As for coffee tables, consider something with drawers for a bit more storage, or try a coffee table with a lift-top design so you can enjoy the occasional mealtime while you sit on the sofa. It’s also important to be sure that every item you choose is easy to clean and maintain. Surprisingly, leather is an excellent choice if you have a home with children or pets. This luscious all-natural material wears well and does a great job of hiding marks and scuffs. It’s also easier to wipe spills off leather furniture than it is to remove them from fabrics like linen or velvet. The more accommodating your living room furniture is, the more you’ll love spending time there.

Home Decor Ideas for the Foyer

The foyer or entryway is the first thing that people see when they come into your home. Consider some creative foyer ideas, such as adding a comfortable bench or hanging a large mirror in the space. You can also switch out ceiling lighting to a beautiful pendant or chandelier to add visual impact. A beautiful console table gives you a place for small table lamps, mail, and keys. Don’t forget to add a place where people can hang their coats and purses. Whether you add a set of wall hooks or a hall tree, this is a great way to make your foyer as functional as possible. Look to design experts for some more foyer ideas that will help you transform this part of your home and turn it into a place you can be proud of whenever visitors arrive.

The Right Lighting is Crucial

Aside from the color palette and your new furniture, your lighting should be an integral part of your dream home transformation. Look at various lighting-related home decor ideas for every room to help you decide which styles will suit you best. Bathroom lighting should be bright and waterproof so you can enjoy it for a long time to come. As for kitchen lighting, determine what style will work best in this space in terms of aesthetics and functionality. For example, several pendant lights hanging directly over the island are a good choice, or you can try a linear chandelier to add some more bright illumination. Meadow Blu offers a wide range of stunning modern light fixtures for every room of the home. Whether you need new vanity lights for your bathroom lighting, some contemporary wall sconces for a home office, or a sleek flush mount light for the living room, you’ll find the perfect options on our website.

Give Your Dining Room an Upgrade

For years, the dining room has become a neglected part of many homes. However, today’s homeowners are discovering that they’re beginning to spend more time in this space. Be sure to choose dining room furniture that will fit your lifestyle and your needs. If you love to entertain lots of dinner guests, choose a rectangular dining room table made of sturdy materials. A smaller dining space may do better with a round or oval-shaped table. Expandable tables with a leaf make it easy to change the size of your table as needed whenever you have extra people over. Dining chairs should be comfortable and should easily fit with the table without crowding the room. Aside from the dining room furniture itself, you can dress up this space by placing a gorgeous area rug underneath the table and adding new window treatments. Bring in a storage hutch, bar, or credenza to make this room a perfect place for relaxing and entertaining.

Remember the Home Office

If you work from home or run a business out of your home, having the right office space is crucial to your success. Be sure to seek out home office furniture that will make this room as functional as possible while still giving it a boost of style. If you only work on a computer, a sleek writing desk may suffice. Large executive desks with a lot of drawers work well for those who have to deal with a wide range of paperwork and office supplies. Of course, don’t forget a comfortable chair when you shop for home office furniture. The more comfortable and supportive your chair is, the more productive you’ll be. Elevate this room by adding some beautiful artwork and a high-quality bookcase for storage and display. The colors should be light and airy so that you can stay focused and maintain a positive attitude throughout the workday. Of course, remember to make sure that you have the appropriate lighting in this room, too. The right lighting will make it easy to see without any glare so you can accomplish the task at hand.

Don’t Forget Your Outdoor Space

Finally, remember your outdoor space when you think of new home decor ideas. Choose comfortable outdoor furniture that will be able to withstand rain, wind, and common wear and tear. A beautiful woven sofa with comfortable, weather-resistant cushions will make entertaining outside a fun event any time of year. If you want more versatility from your outdoor furniture, choose products that can be enjoyed both outside on the patio and inside your sunroom or living room. Dining furniture like sturdy tables and comfortable chairs pair nicely with a beautiful patio umbrella for extra shade. From ottomans and sofas to outdoor chaise lounge chairs, choosing the right furniture for this part of your home will help you turn it into the space of your dreams.
