Redecorate Your Home Like an Interior Designer In 5 Steps

With the ongoing Circuit Breaker expected to end next month, many of us have more time on our hands to focus on being home. As some of us are occupied with work, it leaves the rest to gather inspiration and ideas to try new and different things to stay distracted during this period.

Some of the things to do include tidying up the house and getting rid of the clutter. Interior renovation like these require time to plan and arrange, for example, where to move the boxes of picture frames or even the extra fabric seats in the corner that’s been collecting dust, etc. Although you’re currently unable to do any shopping, in the meantime, you can redecorate your home with what’s on hand.

Perhaps you’ve been thinking about redecorating the living room for a while now but haven't got the chance to do it. Luckily, now’s the perfect time to start planning!

Here are 5 steps you can follow to redecorate your home like an interior designer.

Game Plan

First and foremost, you must ask yourself why you would want to make changes to a particular space. Then, you can start figuring out what and how you want to change your space. You’d have to ask yourself questions such as, “if you move the TV couch over to the other corner – how would it look?” Treat it as a mind map so that you’re able to achieve the ideal outcome of your redecorated living room.

Mood Board

Once you’re done finalizing the project plan, it’s time to design a mood board. It’s where you’ll be replicating your dream space simply by attaching inspirations in images of magazine cut-outs, Pinterest images, fabrics and so on.

The Golden Rule of Three

As you play the role of an interior designer, do consider the Golden Rule of Three to make sure your project pans out. Professional interior designers apply this fundamental method by picking 3 base colours of the project to keep them on track and ensure the space looks cohesive so that the objects complement one another.

Add a Personal Touch

Even though you’ll be busy redecorating the space to look better, remember that it’ll be a result of your time and effort. By adding a personal touch, whether it’s a patterned chair, bold coloured pillows, or an expensive vase, a statement piece of yourself makes a difference and ties all efforts together.

Keep it Clean and Uncluttered

Last but not least, say ‘NO’ to clutter. Interior designers always address this part of the decorative process by adding storage items like baskets and trays to keep the space neat and tidy, while also making sure that it contributes to the overall theme. Therefore, if you happen to have piles of clutter lying around, it’s time to hide them away.
