Uncertain how to apply basic color theory and geometric principles to renovate your place? Don't have the tiniest clue how to have a consistent tone in every room in your home?
This blog will be your handy guide to budget-conscious and beginner-friendly home improvement do's and do n'ts!
Whatever you would like to change inside your home, it's critical that you keep a consistent tone in every room.
Whether it's the kitchen, living room, hallway, or your bedrooms, the design matters.
You have to make it a point to know how to use concepts of scale and proportion and basic color theory. Naturally, more importantly, you have to understand to properly budget your priorities.
Like with any type of design plan, you must make great use of color theory.
This applies when picking what color you're going to paint your walls in and what furniture you're going to get.
Various experts say it's better to choose your furniture before you pick out your wall colors.
It may sound counterproductive, yes. But take it from expert designers.
It's much less time-consuming to match the walls to your furniture than it is to match the furniture to your walls. This way, it will complement your furniture with no problem!
Again, like any room you're going to set up and layout, you must make use of geometric ideas. This means maintaining a good ratio & scale for furniture and arranging them proportionately.
One vital aspect of this is your wall art.
Be sure your framed pieces and other décor are in scale with the wall and aren't too modest or mounted too high.
For any wall piece or set of pieces, it has to be at least 50 to 75 percent of the width of the furniture it's put on top of. As for the height above the furniture, the wall décor should be on the lower portion of the area above the furniture.
Like with any major project, you need to prioritize what you need to get remade in your house.
Here are a few questions that can help organize the budget and timeline for your house project.
What do you want for this project? What do you plan to accomplish from this project? Do you plan to revamp your home? To make your office more unique while stimulating better performance, productivity and focus? To make your home your own with top-drawer furniture and designing to match your tastes?
What details do you need to make it happen? Do you have to totally remove existing furniture and clear the room? What kind of materials and equipment would you have to buy? Do you need a specialist or team of professionals to do the construction job for you?
What can you compromise on? What would you be happy to splurge on? Prioritize what you need to redo first, especially if you're on a fixed budget. Do you need to do the kitchen first? Do you have to have that leather couch in your living room? Would you rather have nice lamps and nightstands in your room?
Next, here are some expert tips on how to save money without risking build and quality.
Get estimates from several contractors in your town. After receiving a several bids, try to leverage them against one another and grab the best value offer.
Do the demolition yourself, like scraping off the tiles or taking out cabinets and items.
Shop for the fixtures and furniture yourself. Try to look for secondhand or refurbished pieces too - though of course, make sure the quality is up to par. This way, you avoid having to pay for them doing the shopping for you, and any markups they may ask you for it.
Unless you really, really don't have enough time, do the paint jobs yourself and save the extra $300 on your costs.
After the basics, here are a few expert-recommended ways to decorate your gorgeous home. We start with the do's and do n'ts of rearranging and furniture layout.
Do's.
Do take advantage of versatile color schemes. These can work to your favor to make a space feel larger or more cozy, whatever your taste is.
Smaller space, particularly if it's your first apartment, may look a little square and boxy. Do contrast that with round tables and curved chairs.
Do create makeshift storage spaces in your place to get more free space. Examples are hanging shelves, vertical stands on the back of your door or cabinets under the stairs. You could also build dual-purpose chairs and coffee tables for the living room.
Do use hanging racks and caddies for smaller bathrooms and rooms.
Don'ts.
Do not overpower a room with too many patterns. Use them to highlight the solid tones in your room, but make sure not to go overboard.
In cramped spaces, don't be afraid to use the same shade for the walls and ceilings. It will make the room's harmony flow more smoothly.
Don't clutter tables with lamps and photo frames specifically in a shared spot for work and study.
As comical as it was, don't try and imitate Ross Geller screaming "Pivot!" to move his new sofa. Be sure you select furnishings that will fit in well with the room in your home. And perhaps more importantly, make sure you won't get a headache moving it into your home.
Don't - and we can't stress this enough - do not push your furniture against the wall. It will make your space look all the more cramped than it is.
