DIY: Use 2016 Interior Trends in Home Decor
Regardless of how hard you try to keep up what is in or out changes at a rapid pace. This being said, in order for your home to stay in accordance with latest trends you need to do a remodel every now and then. Unfortunately, this can be quite pricey, which automatically disables most people from doing so. Still, if you are ready to think outside of a box and even get your hands dirty, you can follow latest trends even on the tightest budget. This however, will require some serious DIY projects and personal involvement on your side.
Keeping Up With Colors
First of all, even though it is impossible for even the most creative human being to invent a new color, our opinions of the existing ones change on a daily basis. This being said, sooner or later, your home will need to go through a thorough makeover. This year, temperate and light colors are going to be huge and with this in mind, going with baby blue or pink are always safe options. Now, in order to save some money here you can always paint the walls on your own. In fact, for most cost-effective color revamp of your home, you can paint just one wall, one behind the focal point of your room.
Cozy is The New Chic
Now, you need to remember is that cozy is the new chic. This means that all your angular furniture needs to be replaced with something a bit softer. Sure, this can be quite expensive, but you always have an alternative. If something seems as uncomfortable or cold just add more cushions to it (this trick, however simple, is known to always work). As for the embroidery on your cushions, you can do it on your own but remember to go with motif and color to fit the rest of the ambience. Finally, you can add one of those nice and cozy floor rugs to the mix, and make your room seem warmer and more intimate.
Your Own Oasis
Next thing you can do in your home is try and transform it into a genuine oasis, a proper natural retreat. The easiest way to do this would be to add some floral motifs to the design, but sometimes what you need is a genuine thing. This is why, adding suitable pot plants to every corner of your room may seem as such a great idea. Here you will have the chance to go wild and unleash full potential of your creativity. Namely, there are so many crazy options for most creative DIY pot planters out there and every one of them can transform your home into something truly unique. You can use old books, boots or even tires for some of the most daring and radical ideas.
Lighting Solution
Finally, light can make or break this whole impression so you need to do this right. This year will be less about chandeliers and more about subtle downlights. Still, as far as DIY solutions go, pendant lights will reign supreme. However, you don’t need to make something to have DIY improvement. You can just paint the base of your nightstand lamp in the aforementioned baby blue or light pink and in this way make all the difference.
As you can see, lack of funds can never really slow down a true creativity. If you are willing and ready to set aside some time and invest some effort in these DIY projects, no 2016 trend will stay out of your reach for long. This all may seem as a lot of work at first but the truth is that when end results are taken into consideration, it is all more than worth.
