How to Style Your Home like an Interior Designer

 Have you ever seen a picture of a perfectly styled room online and thought, “Why can’t my home look like that?” The truth is, designing that Pinterest-perfect room was no easy feat. It took time, money and, quite possibly, a trained house interior designer.

Interior designers make styling a home look so simple, but in reality, they’re using a strategy – a formula that combines the right amount of colour and pattern with the perfect furniture, flooring and accessories.

We interviewed interior designers to get the inside scoop on how you can use their methods to style your home like a professional.

 

Choose a Style

Sometimes the layout or construction of your home will dictate what style best suits your space. Other times, your home can lend itself to whatever style you want. In either case, you’ll need to determine the style of your home before you start introducing furniture and accessories.

Choosing a design style will help guide you through the design of your entire home so that your decor is cohesive from room to room. Think of your style as a theme and use that theme to connect one room’s aesthetic to the next.

If you don’t know how to choose a style, creative directors would advise choosing decor that reflects your personality.

 

Consider the Amount of Space

One aspect you might have to consider when choosing the style for your home is the amount of space you have available. You need to come to terms with the realities of your space and how many furnishings you can fit in it.

You should also tackle each room one at a time, starting with the room you deem a priority over the rest. For example, if your master bedroom is in need of an upgrade, start there. If you frequently entertain guests in your home, you might want to focus on a communal space instead, like your living or dining room.

We have some key things to think about when choosing one – including budget, the scope of the project and personal compatibility.   Find the best person for the job Most of us ask friends or colleagues to recommend a good plumber or hairdresser, so having a personal reference from someone whose opinion you value is a great place to start. It’s important to follow-up with your own research by checking out the designer’s website and social media platforms. Seeing recent examples of their work will give you a sense of their style and the scope of the projects they work on.
