9 Great Elevated Home Styling Tips: To Get The Right Finishing Touch
Sometimes we can look at our home and feel that we have everything we need for day-to-day living, but feel as though that finishing touch is missing. A few simple styling tips throughout your home can elevate your home styling.
If you’re looking to create a more elevated home, here are a few sure ways to get the finishing touch that your home is missing.
Elevated Home Styling Tips
1. What’s Your Design Direction?
Having a design direction for your home and space will really help elevate how your home feels. If we don’t have an idea for how we want our space to look and feel overall, the style and design can sometimes go astray.
We tend to buy furniture and decor as we go along, so it’s easy to buy what we need when we need it and according to the money we have at the time.
Having a mood board, a reference picture, or a wish list will keep the design for your room on track so it doesn’t feel disjointed. This will help especially if you know you won’t be able to buy everything at once.
A mood board is a great reference point to have, as a cohesive design will help make your space feel more mature.
2. An Inviting Entrance
The entrance to your home makes the first impression! So the hallway entrance is an important place to get right to make it feel inviting but also useful. At least make sure that the area is neat. This isn’t just for your guests coming in; you want to feel welcome and happy to be home.
3. Storage & Organization
Good organization isn’t just for the hallway; it extends to the rest of the home.
Having a proper declutter and enough storage throughout the house to keep everything as tidy as possible is the best foundation for having a home you love and enjoy all year round.
Invest in good storage options and furniture that doubles up as storage. And if you want to go an extra step, those awkward nooks can be built out for practical storage. Having a home that is well organized is the best styling tip for any room in the home.
4. Styling Your Surfaces
Styling your coffee table is a great way to make your living room feel a bit more grown up and mature. What you choose to put on your coffee table says a lot about you. Do you want to show it off as display only? Or is it a chance for interaction with coffee books, games, and photos to look at?
Instead of using it as just a placeholder for magazines and drinks, think a bit more about how you use the coffee table as a point of interest. Practical use of the coffee table is still important, of course.
The same goes for styling other table surfaces such as console tables, making them a focal point instead of a table for depositing random items.
5. Dress Your Windows
Dressing the windows in the home tends to be an afterthought. With a new house especially. Privacy is the main concern for the moment, as it should be! So we can often rush out to buy the most standard blinds or drapes just to keep out prying eyes. And quite often that’s how it stays.
Using the windows in your home is one of the ways you can bring your styling up a few notches. Quality draperies and blinds will make your space feel more elevated and a lot more cozy.
6. Styling Your Bed
This styling tip relates specifically to the bedroom. Styling your bed makes your home feel complete. This doesn’t mean you have to go overboard with fifty-plus cushions across your bed. This can be a simple mixing and matching of bedding colours.
The bedroom is for yourself, because why have the rest of your home looking great when your bedroom isn’t up to scratch? All you have to do is put a bit of effort into the main focal point of the room, and it looks complete.
7. Add Your Personality
Styling your home is always based around this one thing. Your personality!
Your home should show who you are. So choose a few areas around the home to display memories and treasures from loved ones and your travels. Not everything has to be bought brand new to make an impact.
This is shown through the paint colours chosen for your home, fabrics and materials, your furniture choices, as well as the little items displayed throughout your home. There are so many ways to incorporate a little bit of yourself in your home. This doesn’t have to be a one-and-done thing; collect and style over time.
8. Living Things
Adding plants and flowers will always help in completing a more mature space. As long as they’re well watered and kept alive. There are a lot of easy houseplants you can get that don’t need too much maintenance. You can always go for faux plants if you don’t want to think about maintenance at all.
9. A Signature Scent
Styling is about so much more than just how the home looks. Scents go a long way to adding an elevated feel to the home. Try out a few candles, oil diffusers, or room sprays to see which scent you like the best for your home. I love having candles for the winter season and flowers for the spring and summer.
Or just use the natural scents from herbs you have available. Eucalyptus leaves in the bathroom are great after a shower, and lavender smells amazing and is easy to get hold of for the rest of your home.
