Inspiration- How To Find It Anywhere

January 17, 2013 By vdodson Leave a Comment

Just because you don’t particularly like someone’s remodel style, it doesn’t mean that you can learn a thing or two from the design and apply it to your own.

 

In this slide show you’ll see how this designer put together a collected-contemporary bachelor pad and what you can take away from it and apply to your home, apartment, or town house.

  • Mixing your metals is trendy right now.  Long gone are the days when you have to stick to silver or gold, now you can have both.
  • Painting an accent wall helps it visually recede, opening up the space, but installing a mirror to the same wall will make it disappear all together.
  • Mixing styles isn’t always easy and can make a person nervous.  Help your pieces make sense by mixing two styles but sticking with a common color or related styles.
  • Mixing patterns is another thing that can confuse the every day home owner.  Do your research and play with it.  Figure out what you like and then take the plunge and go with it.
  • If you like organic pieces but have a modern space, try taking your wood and finishing it with a silver leaf finish combining both styles to fit perfectly in your home.
  • Large sconces can be costly, but it can also be difficult to find a matching pair that you love.  Splurge on this item for your home and center it on a narrow wall.
  • Adding a slip cover to your furniture can not only personalize your item but can also be washed easily.
  • The lighting in the room determines the formality of your space so play around with it and dress up your shades in the spaces you want to feel a little more elegant with gold lining and glitzy chains.
  • Even if you love color you can’t deny that there is a soothing effect on a neutral bedroom.  Dress it up with tone-on tone patters and textures while adding metallic accents.
  • If you have a super traditional home, shake it up by adding one unexpected modern piece.
  • Maybe you’ve traveled toParisorItalyand you fell in love with the architecture.  Incorporate those into your home in the miniature adding personality, history and wonderful memories to your space.
  • Contemplative flair can easily be added to any room by framing something like a reflexology graphic or a peace sign pillow.
  • If you’ve collected amazing vintage clothing over your travels and searches you can display them on a dress form adding a creative element to your space.
  • Wood grain pattern wallpaper compliment other natural elements in the room.
