Consider a Natural Clay Wall Treatment

Mitchel G. David

“Natural clay color living rooms are now in high demand,” says Mitchel G. David, Founder of Beach Life Ocean City. “The light clay color on the wall adds some fresh buoyancy to the portrait and furniture while also bringing out the warmer tones in the dark fireplace. In some lighting, it appears light pink and in others, a more beige hue.”

Go for Multi-Purpose Furniture

Forbes + Masters

Geoff Cash, Founder of Refresh Remodeling, suggests making use of multipurpose furniture—especially for those who have small living area space, these kinds of furniture are a lifesaver. “Choose furniture that is both beautiful and multifunctional,” says Cash. “It will cost you less because you don't need to get a lot of furniture in your living room.”

Make Your Sofa the Focal Point

Brexton Cole Interiors

If you’re hoping to foster a sense of comfort and coziness, consider making the couch the focal point of the room and designing the flow around it. “Inviting couches make the whole room feel more comfortable and cozier than pairs of chairs,” says Lynne Sade, Founder of A Farmhouse Reborn.

Go for a Neutral Wall Color

Cathie Hong Interiors

“Living rooms are meant to be interesting but the wall color is not always the place to do that,” says Sade. “A pretty white/off white/cream softens the walls and allows the color to come through the accents, like furniture, pillows, and artwork.”

Consider Neutral Furniture and Accessories

Forbes + Masters

If you’d prefer to go for a bold wall color, consider opting for neutral furniture and accessories to balance it out. “When designing anything I always think about flexibility, it is an absolute must to include some easy to coordinate colors such as neutrals,” says Savannah Phillips, Interior Designer at The Knobs Company. Neutrals will help pull the room together—even if you prefer to swap out your furnishing or decor on a regular basis.

Aim for Clean Lines

Jenn Pablo Studios

“One of my all time favorite ways to design a home is to use clean lines and a more minimalistic approach,” shares Phillips. “As the big trendy decor items fly in and out of trend, basic geometrical designs to furniture pieces are ever present. ” Buildings themselves have to be designed in a way that lets them be functional, commonly requiring clean straight lines, and mimicking this in the design elements and furnishings create a look that will be timeless and never go out of style.
08 of 58
Consider Blacks and Grays

Forbes + Masters

“While often a feared or shamed design choice, I cannot get enough of black or gray designs,” says Phillips. From a non-aesthetic standpoint, black or darker exteriors absorb more sun and warmth than a lighter color, meaning a potentially lower heating bill in the winter months. When it comes to interiors using blacks or dark grays can help hide minor imperfections and some of the dirt that can accumulate in the home. “If you are not fully committed to a fully black home, using dark accents on the doors, windows and other decorative items can be a way to incorporate the lovely dark colors without going all in.”

Seek Out Reclaimed Windows

East Wood Supply

Hang a salvaged or reclaimed wooden window frame on your living room walls. This emulates the idea that nothing goes to waste. Reclaimed window frames offer a cozy, lived-in feeling while also giving a unique spin to the living room mantle or wall. Consider layering a few frames with other reclaimed items for additional visual interest or adding a photograph in the window for a more personal feel.

Consider Adding Exposed Wood Accents

Jenn Pablo Studio

You can create the look of a rustic farmhouse or cabin by adding faux wood beams to your living room ceiling. Make sure you choose a wood that has imperfections. If you can, find some reclaimed wood to reuse.

Make Your Fireplace The Focal Point

Brexton Cole Interiors

Having a fireplace in your living room should be the focal point of the room. Consider hanging your TV above the fireplace—or if you don’t have a built-in unit you could always create a faux fireplace with bricks.

Mirrors, Mirrors, Mirrors

Studio KT

Consider adding mirrors to make the space bigger and add a decorative flair. You can always add a full length mirror to the space to add a little depth to the space and capture light from the windows or add a full wall of mirrors of all shapes and sizes for an extra dose of decor.
13 of 58
Create a Layered Lighting Look

Nile Johnson Interior Design

“Create a layered lighting look in your living room to add depth to the room,” suggests Alex Czarnecki, Founder and CEO of Cotta.ge. “You don’t have to break the bank to do this either. Try a local thrift shop or Goodwill to find great hidden finds for lighting.” Czarnecki suggests placing the lights near furniture arrangements and maybe even adding a dimmer to make the room feel expensive and cozy.

Make Your Bay Windows the Star

Unsplash

Lucky enough to have bay windows in your living room? Highlight them! You don't have to do a whole lot in order to make these grand windows the star of the space. A simple reading nook or bench positioned directly under the window frame will do the trick.

Consider Using Paper Lanterns

Medhat Ayad

Paper lanterns are a great piece to set apart spaces without needing any walls or interruptions in your layout. This is great if, let’s say, you want to set apart your dining area from your living room. They also double up as a decoration piece on their own, even when they’re not in use.
16 of 58
Get Creative With Linens

Oleg Zaicev

Linens and throw blankets are one of the easiest ways to spice up your living room space without investing too much time or money. Consider picking up accent colors/patterns that will work with your existing furniture—or get creative and consider purchasing colorways that you can swap out seasonally to keep your space fresh all year round.

Consider Adding a Unique Floor Lamp

Charlotte May

Looking for a unique way to add more light to your living room? Go for a curved floor lamp. These super functional and unique decor items make it easy to set the mood in a space and also make for a surprisingly good reading light should you tend to curl up on the couch with a good book.

Curate Your Coffee Table Books

Brexton Cole Interiors

Books are one of the easiest ways to add some coziness and sophistication to your space. If you don’t have room for a full bookshelf, consider curating some of your favorite books for your coffee table.
19 of 58
Go Bright

Custom Neon

You’ve probably seen them on Instagram already—but an LED neon sign looks incredible against just about any backdrop and is the perfect way to give a punch of energy to a living room. Set it up on its own or install it on a gallery wall for a little dose of ambient lighting.

Don’t Skimp on Your Sofa Size

Cathie Hong Interiors

Tiny sofas and couches might be cute, but if you spend a lot of time in your living room you'll want to invest in a large sectional couch. These cozy couches promote relaxation but also help to foster conversation as guests can spread out and actually face each other rather than everyone looking in the same direction.
21 of 58
Opt for a Conversation Circle to Save Space

Bespoke Only

If space is a limitation and a huge sectional couch won’t work, a conversation circle, created by situating your seating options in a circular shape, is your next best option. This is another way to have the living room serve its main purpose of entertaining guests or spending quality time with loved ones.
22 of 58
Adorn Your Walls With Large-scale Photos

Jenn Pablo Studios

There’s no better way to make your space feel more intimate and personal than a large-scale photo. It could either be photographs you took or an abstract painting that speaks loudly to you. Either way, it’s going to be an icebreaker/conversation starter.
23 of 58
Go Rustic

Interior Impressions

You can never go wrong with adding rustic elements to your living room design like chunky fabrics or cottage-inspired decor items. It never fails to give a homey, relaxing vibe.
24 of 58
Consider Using Slipcovers

Comfort Works

Have you ever changed the slipcover for your furniture? It's an amazing way to keep your furniture for longer, while giving a whole new look and style to your space. It allows you to use less without sacrificing style—which is great for you and the planet, too.
25 of 58
Use Contrasting Colors

Interior Impressions

The living room is a place that must be welcoming and also outstanding since your guests are to be entertained here. Use bold contrasts of colors to make the place look lively. But be mindful of it and use the right combinations. According to Andrea Boyd, Community Director at Tailored Space, a coworking space in California, keeping a dominant color and pastel is what is around the market right now.
26 of 58
Keep It Simple

Arbor & co.

The modern design is high on making the place look minimalistic and clean. Use less to make the space look bold yet subtle. The high contrast of colors will play an important role here as well.
27 of 58
Pick a Theme

Bespoke Only

Choose a theme and follow the color palette. This will help you define the boundaries of your decor and keep things in place. There are no strict rules—consider anything from minimalist to tropical, bohemian, playful, etc.
28 of 58
Go for a Gallery Wall

Gray Space Interiors

In a large space, a wall art collage with an equal balance of two styles can give an eclectic vibe, says Shelby Greene, Studio Stylist at Living Space. For example, three or four vivid color paintings mixed with three or four black and white photographs, each of varying size will add an unexpected charm.
29 of 58
Consider Wall Sconces

D. Burns Interiors

“Swap out table lighting in your living room for sconces,” suggests Greene. “Especially for sideboards or around artwork, sconces provide just the right amount of accent lighting without taking up the table space. This gives room to put books, candles, or vases on your tables and still have ambient lighting.”
30 of 58
Mix Cozy and Industrial

Dan Rak Design

If you want to make your fireplace the centerpiece of the room without leaning too far into the cottagecore vibe, consider surrounding your fireplace with comfy couches and an industrial or masculine coffee table to add a touch of modernity to the space.
31 of 58
Create a Wet Bar

Liz Walton

According to interior designer Liz Walton, more and more of her clients are requesting separate bar areas in their living room spaces for small cozy gatherings and entertaining beyond the kitchen. A wet bar is particularly going to come in handy if you entertain frequently.

Foster a Multi-purpose Space

Alessandra Wood

The concept of formal living room and family room is phasing out—which is great news as it makes for a much more livable space. “As our homes became our everything this past year, we’re seeing people adopt a ‘full-use’ ideology when it comes to different rooms in their home,” says Alessandra Wood, VP of Style at Modsy. “It’s becoming more rare now that most people have a whole room in their home designated to only special occasions or the odd formal entertaining”
33 of 58
Go for Organic Shapes

Alessandra Wood

Organic, non-linear shapes are a great way to make your space look expensive and expertly designed. Curved pieces have a very sculptural flair, which allows them to act as both functional pieces of furniture but also artistic statements. “Choose pieces that feel like you could place them in any decade, this means they’ll continue to look fresh and timeless, even as the curved furniture trend wanes,” says Wood.
34 of 58
Consider Textured Pieces

Alessandra Wood

“For upholstered pieces, I love very textured materials such as velvet, mohair, leather, and sherpa,” says Wood. “Textures like these catch the light in a beautifully reflective way to create highlights and shadows within the piece itself.” You can go all in with a room that incorporates all organic pieces or you can choose a few specific organic pieces paired with more linear pieces. If you’re mixing linear and organic, opt for linear shaped pieces when the material has a hard surface and leverage organic shapes when pieces have a softer surface material.
35 of 58
Lean Into Your Eclectic Side

Alessandra Wood

“Right now, we’re seeing a softer, earthier side of the mid-century look come out to play,” says Wood. “It’s more eclectic, mixing in worldly patterns, pops of color, natural textures, and lots and lots of plants.”
36 of 58
Consider Thermal Curtains

Kate Marker Interiors

If you want a literal ‘cool living room’ idea, consider investing in thermal curtains. Manufactured with a thermal layer to regular temperature, thermal curtains work year round, keeping the heat out in the summer and the warmth in during the cold winter months. “A popular approach these days is to layer thermal curtains with sheers which are brilliant for managing light when you don’t want a full blackout and providing some daytime privacy too,” says Raymond Yang, Interior Decorator and Founder of Deconovo .
37 of 58
Go for a Modular Sofa

@houseofharvee

“Even as we design spaces we find ourselves doing less sofas and loveseats and a lot more sectionals,” says Sherica Maynard, Interior Designer at Interior Design by S&S. “Having small movable benches are great in family room spaces as foot rest and interchangeable pieces.”

Invest in a Good Ottoman

Forbes + Masters

The best way to get the most out of your space is to invest in good multi-purpose pieces—like an ottoman. Replacing your coffee table with a large ottoman allows you to put out snacks when guests are around, use it to stretch out on, or even use it as a hidden storage spot for small items that would otherwise cause visual clutter.

Let Natural Light In

@afrobohemianliving

Working with a smaller living room? Even the smallest of spaces can appear large and open if you allow natural light to flood the space. Consider pulling back your curtains every single morning to make your windows look bigger and allow as much natural light as possible to seep in.

Foster a Sense of Serenity

Nobu Hotels

Nobu Hotels have been showcasing this minimalist style since the first hotel opened in 2013 by way of calming neutrals, light colorways, and organic shapes. The perfect combination of simplifying and calming, the trend is all about minimalist, practical comfort, blending Scandinavian aesthetics with Japanese minimalism.

Consider Adding Some Statement Art

Kristi Kohut

Find a piece that makes your heart sing and it will bring you joy everyday. “Don't be afraid to go big and bold, this can really finish a room and leave your guests gasping when they walk in,” says Kristi Kohut, Artist and Founder of Hapi Art.
42 of 58
Pair Statement Art With Smaller Pieces

Kristi Kohut

Statement art can really inject a lot of color and personality to a room but adding in a few accents to pull everything together will bring a whole new energy to your space. “Pairing the statement art with a couple patterned throw pillows or a colorful sculpture or tray, can add the perfect finishing touches to your space,” says Kohut.

Consider Other Forms of Wall Art

@afrobohemianliving

Want to make your wall art pop? Think outside the box! Remember, your wall art doesn’t have to be restricted to only art prints. For a unique twist on the standard home art gallery collage, incorporate wicker, jute and other woven decor materials like natural wicker.

Go Green

Unsplash

“Many people may hesitate at the idea of having to keep a living plant alive but I think it's more about finding the right fit for you and your home,” says Jessica Neuman of Numi Interior Design. “Plants add life and color to the environment. If you’re not a person known for their green thumb, opt for an option that is low maintenance like a philodendron, a beautiful, edgy cactus or succulents, which are fairly easy to maintain.”

For the Love of Literature

Unsplash

Books not only add decor and dimension to a living room, but what’s better than a practical piece of decoration? If you don’t already have one, invest in a book collection for your home. A room filled with books creates character in a home; books are timeless. “When curating a collection of books for my clients, it’s important to reflect on the qualities of the individual,” explains Neuman. “What are their interests, their favorite people, and places? If you’re not one who gravitates towards reading as a pastime, consider books by the foot in a color scheme that feels appropriate for your space.”

Add Throw Pillows and Blankets

Jenn Pablo Studios

Whether you are a minimalist or a maximalist, throw pillows and blankets are a quick and easy ways to make any living room feel warm and inviting. According to Neuman, this is also a good way to add some depth to the texture and feel of your room. “I love a neutral cashmere or knit throw blanket for any sofa. It’s important to have fun with your choices no matter what your palette or aesthetic is. You can always add in some unique and fun dimension in this area.”

Create an Aesthetically Pleasing Open Office

Spencer Bass

“As more and more people are adding home office spaces and makeshift desks into their living areas, one key piece of advice is to make sure your desk and desk chair also tell a story,” says Spencer Bass, Creative Director at Label 180, a desk and office furniture company. “Don’t just go for a clunky, wooden desk and functional chair and throw it into your living room. Instead, find something unique that reflects your sense of style and personality of your home.”

Choose a Sofa to Suit Your Lifestyle

Edgar Blazona

When you’re looking for furniture for your living room – particularly a sofa or sectional – don’t just pick the largest size possible. Instead, Edgar Blazona, Founder of BenchMade Modern, suggests making sure to look at the usage of the room: does a large group typically gather to watch TV or is it more of a formal space? Pick the size, orientation and style of sofa that you need based on what the room is used for, and make sure your sizing works well in terms of scale with everything else that’s in the room. A sofa or sectional should work with the room, not overpower it.
49 of 58
Consider Statement Wallpaper

Chasing Paper

“One of my favorite ways to transform a living room is with peel-and-stick wallpaper,” says Elizabeth Rees, Founder of Chasing Paper. “Whether you want to go bold by wallpapering all four walls or you add an unexpected pop by wallpapering the back of built-ins, wallpaper is a great way to add pattern and color.”

Invest in Custom Window Treatments

Wovn Home

“In addition to adding privacy, well-tailored window treatments in a living room add texture and softness to the space, making it look truly finished and tied together,” says Davina Ogilvie, Founder of Wovn Home. “Given that living rooms are typically larger spaces with higher ceilings, they are often best suited for drapery versus more streamlined types of window treatments like Roman shades or blinds.” According to Ogilvie, using drapes to play on these proportions can really make a living room shine.
51 of 58
Go for Patterned Drapery

Max Vakhtbovych

“Choosing patterned or colorful drapery can act as art in itself, or if you prefer to let the rest of the room take center stage, invest in sheer or neutral drapery that will serve as a beautiful, soft backdrop to the rest of the room,” suggests Ogilvie.
52 of 58
Put Your Interests on Display

@leafandlolo

Collecting sea glass since you were a kid? Display it! Proud of your vinyl collection? Make space for it! Your living room should reflect your interests and putting your collections on display is a great way to do just that.
53 of 58
Add a Bold Rug

Unsplash

Whether you want to go bold or stick to a more neutral look, a statement rug will always be well-received. Not only will it keep your toes warm but it’ll offer a great ice breaker when you have guests over.
54 of 58
Create a Seating Nook

Daria Shevtsova

Every kid dreams of a cozy little window seat—and if you didn’t have one growing up, well, it’s not too late! The cozy and sophisticated nook is the perfect spot to read a book or indulge in a cocktail.
55 of 58
Create Visually-Pleasing Storage Spaces

Element5 Digital

The wrong storage can look cluttered—but something creative, like a ladder for storing linens, takes your visual clutter and turns it into a work of art.
56 of 58
Play With Wall Textures

Max Vakhtbovych

Colors and wallpapers are great—but different textures can single handedly turn your living room into a sophisticated sanctuary. Consider board and batten or a wooden slat wall for an instant upgrade.
57 of 58
Mix Classic and Contemporary Decor

Vincent Rivaud

Can’t choose between classic and contemporary? Mix in both! Ornate gold frames, retro tsotchkes, Scandinavian furniture, and textured or modular sofas all play surprisingly well together.
58 of 58
Create Breezy Walkthrough Spaces

D. Burns Interiors

Whether you’re working with an open concept space or you’re trying to use your living room as two distinct spaces (say as a home office and sitting room), consider smaller, light furniture to create a clear distinction between each space.

Tropical Living Room

Kris Tamburello

Make your living room feel like an otherworldly oasis, just as Fawn Galli did in this Boca Raton retreat.

Shape-Shifting Living Room

Ema Peter

For a pared-back way to make your living room pop, play with different shapes. When decorating this Vancouver pad for a mother-daughter duo, PlaidFox’s Ben Leavitt featured an angular, 1970s-inspired chimney breast in red- and pink-toned Mutina tiles. Rounding out the room is a custom curvaceous couch and leather ottoman from Moroso.

The perfect compromise between bohemian and Art Deco.

16th-Century Tuscan Living Room

Classic-Meets-Cool Living Room

Fun and Feminine Living Room

10 original interior design ideas with flowers :: Design :: RBC Real Estate

Ficus, aloe and violets in pots on the windowsill are a thing of the past. Florists and designers find amazing ideas that will decorate the interior as well as art. The most inspiring examples are in the selection of RBC Real Estate

Yucca and dracaena are being replaced by citrus trees. You can grow them yourself from the seed, but the fruits will have to wait a long time. Such a tree will fit well into any interior, from Scandinavian to eclectic, and can become the center piece of the room. nine0003

Even the most ordinary plants will look different if they are planted in other, unexpected objects instead of a pot. Asymmetrical pieces of wood, notched stones, dishes and even shoes will do. The art object can be decorated with starfish, shells and light garlands. Take care of tightness, because the plant needs to be watered. nine0003

If you can't take care of natural flowers and don't like artificial ones, choose a compromise. Dried flowers are used not only in flower arrangements. Designers create volumetric compositions from leaves and petals in baskets, vases or glass flasks, as in this photo.

Another kind of decor under glass is a flower aquarium. This is a partially open container in the form of a polygon or a ball. Some types of plants are suitable for closed glass jars and bottles. Inside the florarium, flowers are planted in the ground, as usual. Unlike standard pots, whole eco-worlds are created inside them from several types of flowers, it turns out an analogue of a small forest. The compositions are decorated with moss, ferns, stones and dried flowers. nine0003

It's time to break with stereotypes about artificial flowers. Now this is not a pathetic likeness, but a beautiful analogue of living plants. The pros are obvious: no maintenance, virtually infinite lifespan, and the ability to be placed anywhere. For example, in a bathroom where there is no sunlight. Or you can make curtains out of them, as in the photo.

Panel pots, in which the flower will grow not up, but sideways, look beautiful in any part of the house. Here it is important to choose a plant that will not stretch and at the same time take up most of the picture in width. Stone roses (succulents) look very advantageous, besides, they are unpretentious. Flowers have many varieties and shapes, shades vary from pale green to deep purple.

Even ordinary pots with familiar plants can look very original. Remove them from the windowsill and hang them from the ceiling. Designers suggest doing this with the help of rails and crossbars, hanging flowers on a fishing line. Make sure the pot is securely fastened and does not tip over on its side. Decor care remains the same: watering according to preferences and timely transplanting. nine0003

Stabilized moss is used to decorate restaurants, offices and apartments. Natural, hypoallergenic and durable decor does not require special care - it is enough to maintain air humidity of at least 40%. It can be placed in the bathroom or in the kitchen, but so that direct sunlight does not fall on the moss. Once a month, you need to remove dust from such a picture; for this, you can use a cold blow or a vacuum cleaner with a low power mode. With proper care, the plant will become a highlight of the interior and will live for about ten years. nine0003

We don't call for dressing up in cacti, we are talking about your old floor hanger, which was bought during the renovation or before purchasing the cabinet. If it's gathering dust in the pantry, it's time to use it for floral decor, as in this example. Instead of shoes, massive pots and boxes with plants will stand on the pallet, and hang smaller specimens on hooks on the top bar. So you can create multi-tiered compositions.

Photo: pinterest.ru

If you really love flowers, then don't look for special rules and examples - plant them everywhere. Let them hang from the ledge, hide among the books on the shelves and take up most of the space. In such a bold decision, it is important that the plants are aesthetically combined with each other, although mono-formats with flowers of the same species, as in the photo, will also work.

DIY home ideas 2021

With the advent of spring, you always want change. The renewal of nature inspires and makes people look at their apartment in a new way, looking for design ideas to transform their home. Someone starts a general cleaning and rearrangement of furniture, someone arranges repairs. But you can quickly freshen up the situation with less time-consuming actions. In this article, we will talk about the most relevant design ideas for a house with photos that will breathe new life into an apartment without taking you a lot of time and money. Many can be made with your own hands or together with loved ones! nine0003

Home decoration for spring

After a long cold winter, everything is always bright, light and airy. The following design ideas will help bring this atmosphere home.

Natural flowers in non-standard vases. Plants are a win-win option for quickly freshening up a room and adding natural beauty to it. If you do not want to care for plants in pots, then periodically buy bouquets of primroses or wildflowers. And instead of putting them in classic vases, let yourself be a little frivolous and use fancy utensils like a glass jar, bucket or even a teapot. nine0072

Wall stickers. This 2021 design idea is super easy to do and will instantly transform your home. Black and white stickers in a minimalist style look especially relevant and fresh.

Let there be color! Spring is a great occasion to add bright colors to your apartment. You can resort to a radical solution like painting an accent wall or get by with small details. Update the upholstery of the sofa, buy a couple of paintings or bright linens. To create a spring mood, give preference to juicy colors, such as lemon, turquoise or light green. nine0072

Design ideas for children's rooms

Even small children, younger schoolchildren love change as much as adults. It will not be difficult to update the children's room and organize a new space for games! Here are three cool design ideas that will bring a fairy-tale vibe to your nursery and will please both boy and girl.

Starry sky. Give your child not just a star from the sky, but the whole galaxy! There are several ways to turn the ceiling into a night sky - both budget and expensive: special fluorescent wallpapers, drywall sheets with diodes, luminous stickers. nine0072

Original night lamps. Transform an entire room with the right lighting. Buy an interesting lamp that projects some kind of image onto the walls and ceiling, for example, the same starry sky. Another idea is wall lamps in the form of clouds, a month or animals.

Tepee . This Indian dwelling can become not only a child's favorite toy, but also an original room decoration. Just choose a stylish house made of natural materials to match the interior, and you will see for yourself how interesting and beautiful it looks. If desired, the wigwam can be additionally decorated with garlands or flags. nine0072

Here are some more cool photo ideas.

Kitchen Design Ideas

For many, the kitchen is the most important place in the house. Even if you don't like to cook, be sure to spend a lot of time in this room. Here are some simple tips to make your kitchen more inviting and comfortable.

Open shelves and jar collection . Open cabinets and shelves will add air to the kitchen, and their contents can be a great decor. Rethink your bulk food and spice storage system. Instead of variegated factory packaging, pick up the same stylish jars. You can also display beautiful dishes on open shelves. nine0072

Lead . Paint part of the wall or refrigerator with slate paint, or hang a slate board on it. It will be possible to leave notes to relatives, write a shopping list or even draw on it, why not?

Cabinets to match the walls. A great design idea for a small kitchen that helps visually expand the space. Paint your kitchen set the same color as the walls and you will see how the room visually began to seem less cluttered. nine0072

Design ideas for an apartment using textiles

Textiles are the easiest way to transform a space. Let's take a look at a few fashionable chips in 2021.

Wall carpet . With this phrase, many people see the interiors of the 90s before their eyes. But don't be alarmed, bulky Soviet carpets are a thing of the past. Now designers recommend decorating the walls with small, elegant tapestries with abstract or ethnic motifs. This design idea is suitable for Khrushchev, and for any other types of apartments due to its versatility and the ability to choose a rug that is suitable in size for a room of any size. nine0072

Canopy. This cute textile adds 100 points to the comfort of your bedroom. It is not even necessary to buy a special canopy bed, as it can be purchased separately or made independently using hooks suspended from the ceiling. We advise you to focus on light thin fabrics that will be convenient to remove and wash periodically so as not to turn the canopy into a dust collector.

Decorative cushions . Best of all, this design idea is suitable for the living room. Feel free to fill up a sofa or armchairs with them, this will give the apartment a cozy look. In addition, the look of the pillows can always be updated with the help of covers, as soon as you have an idea to transform the space.

DIY home design ideas

DIY decor is priceless. It best of all gives the apartment individuality and unique charm. What are the most popular handmade jewelry? nine0003

Panels and garlands . Make several similar figures from thick cardboard or plywood - birds, butterflies, flowers.
