We all love a trip to IKEA – and it’s amazing how quickly you can fill your shopping trolly.
However, as great as the pages of the catalogue look, you run the risk of your interiors matching everyone else’s.
Your home is a reflection of you, and so your décor should be as individual as you are. If you’re ready to refurbish, then check out these five ideas to give your interiors a unique touch.
Invisible Bookshelves
Give your home some magic and make your stacks of books float.
Okay, it is just an illusion; the books aren’t really floating, and the shelves aren’t really invisible. They’re just hidden inside the books!
It might not be witchcraft, but it’s a wonderful way to add a touch of intrigue to your storage solutions.
Create Your Own Artwork
Hanging artwork is always an easy fix to add a splash of colour to your rooms. However, when you buy wall art, you run the risk – a small one – of choosing the same as everyone else.
Avoid this by making your own!
Now, we aren’t saying that you need to be Vincent Van Gogh, but if you’re handy with a paint brush then all the better. And if not, you can use photoshop to turn your photos in to paintings, then just get them printed onto canvas – instant wall art unique to you.
Sleep Under the Stars
You can do incredible things with light, turning any space into a work of art. Just ask the experts at Ormiston Wire, who frequently work with sculptors all over the world to create stunning lighting installations.
If you’ve always dreamt of sleeping under the stars but aren’t the most outdoorsy person, turn your bedroom ceiling into a fibre optic masterpiece and bring the night sky indoors.
Vintage Furniture
There’s no reason that your furniture needs to match. In fact, tastefully mismatched furniture can give your house a quaint and homely vibe.
Visit antique stores and car boot sales and hunt around for some unique pieces that will
work wonders at giving your home a sense of character – plus you never know what treasure you might end up with when Antiques Roadshow rolls into town!
If vintage isn’t your thing look for sustainable furniture options.
Wall Mural
A feature wall is always a good idea, it creates an excellent focal point and allows you to experiment with bold colours. However, rather than painting or wallpapering your feature wall, consider opting for a mural.
The experts at Rebel Walls have a wide range of easy to install wall murals in every theme you could imagine. So, whether you want a forest scene, a map of the world, or a cityscape, you can find the perfect mural to suit your aesthetic. Or you can even create your own!
You can also achieve eye catching walls by creating a gallery wall or by creating unique neon signs.
