Even if your style is minimalist, you’re going to want to bring some sense of style and personality to your home renovation, but knowing quite how to do it, isn’t always easy.
To help bring your home renovation to life with your personality and unique style, check out the suggestions below:
Choose some centrepieces
Whether you go big with a statue, furniture, or find some smaller items that make a big impact visually, choosing decorative items that you want to be displayed in certain rooms at the beginning of the renovation, will help you build each space with your style in mind.
Pick your favorite colors
With the ability to influence our mood and perception, color should play an important role in any home renovation, and be sure to choose some of your favorite, most evocative colors to use throughout your home – even if only as feature walls.
Find materials that appeal to you
Equally as important for a renovation as colors, the materials your home and its various elements are constructed from, can say a lot about you and have a significant impact on the renovation as a whole. Are you drawn to earthy materials such as stone and wood? Or is ultra-modern your thing, and you want to give your home an industrial, sleek look with steel, iron or glass?
Choose and display some items of sentimental value
Even minimalists will have certain items not just that they hold dear to them, but that they will want others to see and admire. From paintings of family members to items that you’ve inherited, select those possessions you want to be given pride of place in your home, and talk to your designer about how they can be incorporated into the renovation. Having such items displayed will not only make you feel good when you see them, but will invite guests and visitors to your home, to find out more about them, and therefore, find out more about you, too.
Find space for your passions
And we’re not talking about building a love nest here! Although, it’s your home, so why not?! Whatever it is in life that you do to relax and unwind, or which motivates you and gives you the drive to make the most out of life, you should try to include room for in your newly renovated home. Whether meditation and yoga are your thing, you love to immerse yourself in a good book, or enjoy painting or make clay models, create at least one space in your home where you can be comfortable doing the things you love most.
The most important thing to keep in mind when renovating your home, is that it should be designed and styled to suit your needs and desires. If you share your home with a partner, you’ll of course want to have a discussion with them about their needs and desires, too, and if you’ve got teenage kids, they might also have some great ideas to share. Ultimately, most people only renovate their homes once, so make it count and don’t be afraid to let your creative juices flow!
