Your new property is a blank canvas, giving you the opportunity to transform it into an incredible space where you can express your creativity and create a cozy retreat filled with style and personality.
While everyone has their own design style, there are always some tried-and-true tips to follow. Here's our list of 7 awesome ways to decorate your new home, illustrated with examples from Galardo Real Estate's rich selection.
1. Colorful Front Door
Your front door is the first impression of your home. A bold, colorful door makes a strong statement even before your guests step inside. It's an easy and accessible change that sets the tone for the aesthetics of the entire house. When it comes to choosing which color to go for, trust your instincts.
2. Diverse Lighting
For functionality and a striking atmosphere, you should have three types of lighting in every room: ambient - the overall light in the entire room coming from built-in fixtures or ceiling fixtures; task lighting - such as pendant lights over the kitchen island or a desk lamp in the library; and accent lighting, such as wall sconces that illuminate a specific area or object.
3. Indoor Plants
Indoor plants instantly make any room more welcoming. Each plant can add life to your home, and the green color has proven relaxing psychological properties. Don't hesitate to place several plants in one location.
4. Strategically Placed Mirrors
Some designers believe that every room should have a mirror, but even if you don't go that far, decorating with mirrors can be especially useful in small or dark rooms. In tight spaces, mirrors create an illusion of more space. And in shadowy areas, they perfectly reflect light. Here's a tip: Place mirrors perpendicular to windows, not opposite them. This way, the beautiful light won't bounce back through the window.
5. Combination of Different Textures
Just as you don't want your furniture to be too uniform, it's good to introduce variety in textiles and accents in your home. Here are a few examples: a tiled fireplace paired with a wooden mantel; a jute rug in a neutral color topped with a colorful (and smaller) wool rug; a leather sofa accented with plush cushions. Mixing metallic items is also trendy.
6. Bold furnishing decisions and colorful accents
Bright, bold colors aren't just for the front door anymore. Anonymous beiges and chilly grays are a thing of the past – the modern trend is for daring shades of lime, terracotta, brick red, and cobalt blue. In addition to these natural tones, the new furniture lines feature rounded and soft forms, replacing minimalist, sharp silhouettes.
7. Ecologically Oriented Construction and Furnishing
In an increasing number of properties, we discover implemented ecological solutions: in building materials, in technologies such as smart home systems, even in allocating a little more space in the kitchen for separate collection or composting. Our proposal is the first of its kind closed complex of luxury ecological houses with numerous innovative solutions. Just one, but particularly impressive example: a vacuum cleaner is installed in the walls of each floor, which removes fine dust outside the house.
