Design Hacks: Spice Up Your Home Decor with Visual Interest

As an interior designer, I believe that adding visual interest to your home décor is essential for creating a space that feels personal and unique. By incorporating various design elements, you can transform any room into a dynamic and visually engaging space that reflects your personality and style.

Add Accessories

One of my favorite ways to add visual interest is by using accessories and mixed textiles. These can range from decorative pillows and throws to vases, candles, and sculptures. Accessories are a great way to add personality and style to a space, and they can be easily swapped out to refresh the look of a room without having to invest in new furniture. When choosing accessories, I always consider the color palette of the room and look for pieces that complement or contrast with it.

Mix Textiles

Mixed textiles are another great way to add visual interest to your home décor. By layering different fabrics and textures, you can create depth and warmth in a room. Mixing textiles can include everything from throw pillows and blankets to rugs, curtains, and upholstery. When mixing textiles, I like to consider the weight and texture of the fabric and choose pieces with different textures to add interest and dimension to the room.

Use Unexpected Materials

Using unexpected materials is another way to add a unique touch to your home décor. I love incorporating materials like leather, concrete, metal, and reclaimed wood into my designs. These materials can add contrast, texture, and warmth to a room.

Utilize Lighting

Another way to add visual interest to a room is by adding statement lighting. Lighting can have a huge impact on the mood and atmosphere of a room. I always encourage my clients to choose a statement light fixture or table lamp that can create a focal point and add drama to the space.

Create a Gallery Wall

Lastly, creating a gallery wall is a fun way to showcase artwork and add visual interest to a space. I recommend mixing and matching different frames and artwork styles to create a cohesive yet eclectic look. Adding other decorative elements like mirrors or wall-mounted plants can also create a dynamic and eye-catching display.

If you're looking to add more visual interest to your home décor, I encourage you to visit my design studio or online store to find the perfect pieces that fit your style and budget. With a little bit of creativity and imagination, you can transform any room into a space that reflects your unique personality and style.
