Affordable Interior Design Ideas
by Lana Pharrel
Different people will put different levels of importance on, and therefore, different levels of effort into, interior design. However, no one would deny that they would prefer living in a home that is designed and organized well over one that is bland. A home's design has the power to establish a mood that people will feel the moment they enter. When you make design changes that positively affect the atmosphere of the home, it will be noticeable. And not every change has to be a big, expensive project. There are easy, affordable things you can do.
Different backgrounds can completely alter the tone of an image. The walls are basically the background of a room, so the easiest way to change the feel of the whole room is to change the color of the walls. You might be surprised by how much freshness a new shade of color can lend.
Painting can be costly in both time and money. So if you do not want to redo an entire room, sometimes just painting a single wall can create effective contrast.
If those projects are still too large, painting more subtle features, such as the doors, door frames or window frames might be a good choice. Something as simple as new wallpaper can have dramatic effects as well.
Be sure that you also take into account the vertical axis of the room. The floors and ceilings can be put to great use in interior design. The fact that the ceiling is featureless can be used to draw attention to nice lighting fixtures. Simple, but great-looking fixtures can be found at inexpensive prices.
The light itself can establish a tone even more than the fixture it comes from. Whatever mood you are going for, you can help create it through careful placement of light sources. Using more natural light can create a bright, cheery atmosphere, while more subdued light can be used to create a soft, relaxing and romantic feel. Choose the brightness of the bulbs and placement of the lamps to create the tone that fits your tastes.
Be sure not to forget the floors either. And you do not have to tear up and replace the hard floor or carpet either. One relatively easy way to add color and personality is through the use of an area rug. It can draw attention to the primary features of the room, such as a coffee table.
But the least expensive items are the ones you have already paid for. If you have items in storage that you are not using, you might try to look at them in a different way, and repurpose them creatively. A large chest with a flat surface, for example, might make for a good coffee table or bench. Or perhaps an old cabinet can be used as a TV stand in a bedroom.
Once you are settled on the style and feel of your design scheme, the next phase is to keep it looking great by keeping it clean. Clutter can be the greatest enemy of a beautiful home. Items tend to pile up from day to day life, but you can reduce the amount of clutter by getting rid of anything you don't need and then organizing what is left with storage bins or shelving.
Good interior design can be the most effective way to make a great home look fantastic. If you are still searching for your dream home in Oklahoma City, you will likely find what you need in <a href="http://mccalebhomes.com">McCaleb Homes</a>.
