In many cases, when you visit a home, you realize it is not that much different than other homes. Many people choose neutral colors that blend well with most furniture choices. Their artwork may offer a unique look, or they may occasionally accessorize with bright colors but in general, homes are similar. There are styles that are considered popular at any given time, and decorating techniques that are viewed as “acceptable”. For instance, most people leave grass flooring for outdoor spaces, and rooms are typically required to be made up of walls and a ceiling. However, it is still possible to create a personalized room. Even, if you want your home to be livable, you do not need to give in to traditional expectations. For instance, using simple but expressive items like Elk lighting and Sea gull lighting add an exciting touch to an otherwise dull and expected space. In addition to the way you light a room, there are a number of things you can do to make the space bold.
A great starting point to create a wild, unique space is with color. This is usually the starting point for most room designs, but it is an inexpensive, temporary way you can make a huge impact. Even if you opt to lessen the impact in years to come, or you have to tone it down in order to move, paint can be changed with little effort and cost. If you are making an effort to create a truly dramatic room, choose colors that are bold like black or red. You can also choose other colors in bright, bold shades. Hot pink, lime green, or turquoise all offer a lot of impact in spaces of varying sizes. If you pair the paint colors with opposing bring colors, it will pack an even greater punch such as pair red pillows and flooring with turquoise walls or hot pink with an ebony shade of wall paint.
For an even greater impact, turn your room into a monochromatic homage. Imagine how powerful a room with only aqua furniture, paint, flooring, and fabrics would look. Neutral accents breaks design rules and creates a unique, bold space.
If paint is not your choice, or you are looking for greater impact, accessorize with wild, unique items. Animal prints are bold and create a high impact design, or you can incorporate animals into your design. Choose fake bear rugs, faux fur pillows, or animals that have undergone taxidermy procedures. All of these make a bold statement in any room.
In addition to unique animal accessories, try high impact art that catches the eyes of those in the room, and that promotes conversation. If your artwork becomes a conversation piece, you have chosen bold pieces and achieved the result for which you were searching. Designing a room is a great way to add a personal touch to your home. Add flair that you enjoy seeing and that guests will talk about even after they go home.
