Is your room still looking a bit blah even after you moved the furniture, changed the curtains, and took out your favorite yet sad looking curtains?
There are actually design touches that can make your space more exciting and they can go a long way in terms of enhancing the look and feel of your space.
Apartment Therapy suggests these 5 things that you might have missed on in terms of home and design:
Something old
By mixing pieces that come from different era, you make the space more interesting and you achieve that textured look you can't get from brand new furniture. If you are interested with antique pieces, just choose one that has a touch of modern in it.
Something shiny
Most things pretty are those that shine - may it be gold, silver, brass. It's the easiest way to add zing to a room. Just don't commit the notorious crime of overdoing it.
Something textured
When you use texture, you enhance a room's richness and depth. You can go for warm woods and natural fibers when choosing pieces and furniture - they are interesting to the eyes as well as interesting to touch.
Something you can't buy at a store
Give a room a little extra pizzazz by having that unique one-off piece. It could be a vintage painting you got from a flea market, a nice piece of collectible car replica from a garage sale, or a blanket that your very own grandma made just for you. A piece like this will give your space that sense of character and uniqueness.
Something unexpected
It's okay to add an element of weirdness in your space as long as it is something you really love. You might feel a bit hesitant at first , but it will give that sense of humor that will make you love your space even more.
