Creating Your Dream Home

Helpful Home Improvement Tips

As the title suggests, home improvement is mainly about making your home better in ways that a home owner thinks would make his or her home more appealing, comfortable, cozier and livable. This can be done by remodeling the house such as changing the color, adding wallpapers, adding furniture pieces and changing the house’s theme. This can also be done through house expansion or adding another room to make the house more comfortable for one’s growing family or for simply creating more possibilities or more room for recreation. Using one’s creativity can generate a lot of potential to one’s home. This article aims to give tips on how to improve one’s home.

Making your house or rooms look roomier

It might seem common to think that the size of the room suggests the number of possibilities that can be made. It is in fact true on some levels but it does not necessarily have to bet the case. Keeping furniture pieces or any clutter off the floor of a small room look spacious. Although it is granted that it can’t be avoided that there will be furniture pieces that would touch the floor, other pieces that do not have to be by placing them on multiple wall hanging desks. Doing this not only makes the room look bigger but it also emanates a touch of being modern.

Playing up with colors to emanate mood and create illusion

Super white walls and warm colors like dark blue or red when used with different hues create an illusion of endless space which are recommended for small spaced rooms. Making use of various colors may also be considered to give emphasis to the room or the house’s architecture and make. Walls do not necessarily have to be painted with a single color or tone.

Exploring texture

Plain textured walls and furniture pieces make a room seem clean and minimalist. However, they may also pose a feel of being cold and unwelcoming. Considering various textures to furniture pieces for your furniture or even walls can make them seem larger than life or add character to a room.

Instant magic on lighting

Lighting is one of the major ways to give a room the oomph it needs. In fact, lighting can also be considered an art. It can instantly conjure coziness and sophistication to a room if done correctly. Candles and tungsten bulbs give out the feeling of sophistication or elegance in a room compared to just simply putting on fluorescent lights.

Expand with glass

Glass walls and furniture exude modernity in them. They are steadily becoming the trend in interior design. Glass furniture pieces are very flexible and easy to blend with other existing furniture in the house. Glass walls also create the illusion that a room is endless because of the walls’ transparency. Glass furniture pieces also work very well with lighting. The right color combinations create dramatic effects on a room.
