Elevating your home is taking it up a notch. Going that extra step in styling a space. Using unique decorations or accessories, and not a basic item, to improve the design. This does not mean you have to spend a lot of money; a little bit can go a long way. You can even achieve this by shopping at Target Home Goods, or even Amazon. These elevated designs can be achieved anywhere if you’re looking for the right items. I have a few examples of what I’m talking about.
Starting off, Finishing Spaces. I have talked about this before and you all know my love for pillows, lamps and rugs. Specifically for this item and finishing the space, is a rug. There are hundreds of options available, in any size, color, and material. I love working with polypropylene rugs. They are easy to clean and affordable. I am sick of seeing Primary Bedrooms with the bed on a wooden floor without a rug. If you have carpet, there is no need for a rug. Your bedroom will not look complete without this item. Living room, dining room and family rooms also look complete with a rug. If your sofa is on a hard floor surface and there is no rug, it will look cold and unfinished. Choose a neutral option if you want a clean look. You will need it large enough to fill the space and dimensional with the bed and bedroom size. Easy peasy!
Next, Lamps. I mentioned above and many, many times before how much I love lamps! They really do bring an elevated look to a space. From entryway lamps on a buffet, to bedside lamps in your primary suite. Whether they are a matching set, or a few unique different lamps around your entire main floor space. We see different lamps everywhere we go and my tip to you is to find something you love! Enough with the tall skinny brass lamps with the tiny shade. Find one with a wider colored base, and a fresh white shade. This will make it go from plain to designer. You will rarely see me choosing a lamp that is boring. Neutrals are always okay, but I can help you choose a better option. Watch my styling videos if you need more inspiration!
And Lastly, BLANK WALLS. Why are we leaving such large open walls with nothing on them?! Whether it is art or mirrors, don’t leave your space unfinished, blank, and boring. These large open spaces in entryways, bedrooms, or hallways are best finished with a large floor mirror. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy or expensive, but who wouldn’t want a floor mirror to check the whole outfit?! A primary bedroom wall is perfect for a floor mirror. I love a simple silver frame, and tall enough to see your whole body. This is what brings a space from basic to elevated.
These are only a few tips on ways to elevate your space and home. Whether you have a business lobby to design or your home needs a few more pieces, this advice can be used in any room or space. As always, contact us today with any help you need!
