How to Make Your Home More Stylish

Creating a stylish home is more than just following design trends; it's about infusing your space with personality, comfort, and a sense of uniqueness. Whether you're moving into a new home or looking to revamp your existing space, we share tips on how to make your home more stylish.

Define Your Style

Before diving into redecoration, take some time to define your personal style. Are you drawn to minimalist, traditional, modern, or eclectic aesthetics? Understanding your preferences will guide your design choices and ensure a cohesive look throughout your home.

Take a look through our blog posts to discover different trend guides to see what styles you are drawn to, or take a peek at Pinterest or Instagram for inspiration.  

Declutter and Organise

Stylish homes start with a clean slate. Decluttering not only creates a visually appealing environment but also allows your chosen design elements to shine. Invest in storage solutions to keep things organised and hidden away, promoting a sense of order in each room.

Choose a Colour Palette

Selecting a cohesive colour palette can transform your home's atmosphere. Consider the mood you want to evoke in each room and choose colours accordingly. Neutral tones like whites, greys, and beiges create a timeless and sophisticated look, while bold colours add vibrancy and personality.

Colour palettes may be influenced by the design styles you are inspired by. For example, if you are drawn to Scandi-style homes, you may want a light and neutral colour scheme, whereas if you are after an Art Deco vibe, you’ll want vibrant jewel tones or statement wallpaper. 

Invest in Quality Furniture

Quality furniture pieces are the foundation of a stylish home. Focus on timeless and well-crafted items that will stand the test of time. While quality furniture can seem pricier than that from mass-produced, mass-market retailers, it is going to last longer than flatpack pieces, making it well worth the investment. Plus, opting for unique or handcrafted furniture will certainly add style to your home. 

Our range of tables, for example, are constructed from quality solid wood, metal or glass, adding a luxurious feel to your room that is going to last long-term. 

Personalise with Accessories

Accessories are the finishing touches that bring a space to life. Incorporate personal touches such as artwork, throw pillows, rugs, and decorative items that reflect your personality and interests. Consider incorporating different textures and patterns to add depth to your design.

Keep it simple and clean with candles, plants and coffee table books, or inject your space with quirkiness with cute trinkets or vases like the Alazar Ceramic Giraffe Vase. 

Experiment with Textures

Texture adds visual and tactile interest to your home. Mix and match textures through fabrics, materials, and finishes. Incorporate plush rugs, textured throws, and a variety of cushions to create a layered and inviting environment.

You can use texture to build out a particular feel in a home. If you’re after a boho feel, you’ll want to go all in with layered rugs, woven baskets and even textiles on the walls, like wall hangings, textured artwork or rattan sculpture. If you’d prefer things on the minimalist side, then tone back the textures, but use throws or rugs to soften the style and keep your home cosy. 

Embrace Natural Elements

Bringing nature indoors is an easy way to boost how stylish your house feels. Integrating natural elements like houseplants, plus materials like teak wood furniture, bamboo, other woods, rattan and stone, can help to curate a harmonious and calming atmosphere. Plus, indoor plants not only add visual appeal but also improve air quality and overall well-being.

Good Lighting is Essential

Good lighting can enhance the ambience of your home and, in turn, make it look more stylish. Experiment with a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create layers and add depth to each room. 

Consider stylish light fixtures that complement your overall design - if your home is inspired by the Art Deco style, for example, the Aada Gold Floor Lamp and table lamp would be the perfect choice. Rattan or bamboo shades, on the other hand, would work well in a boho-inspired space.
