4. Artwork
Picking the right artwork for a room can
seem daunting but it’s a great way to inject
your personality, add colour and interesting
shapes, and can even become great talking
pieces for a room. You can use the art to
contrast well with your wall colours and the
way you display the artwork can transform
a wall – think about the types of frames and
using different sizes to create a feature in
itself.
5. Rearrange and declutter
Who doesn’t need a good declutter in
January? Not only can this be good for the
mind but it can open up so much space in a
room. Investing in clever storage solutions
are a good way to keep the decluttered look
going too! It can also be easy to grow tired
of the way you’ve arranged furniture in a
room, but often difficult to see past how it
can work in another way – especially with
smaller spaces. A good trick to go by is
‘radial balance’; simply put, radial balance is
a circular shape with design extending from
the centre. When it comes to interior design
this means having items arranged around a
centre point. This is a great way to focus the
eye on a particular area in a room.
