By now I’m sure you’ve heard that personalization reigns as the biggest trend in interior design, but for some of us that’s a little scary because it requires digging deep to figure out who we really are and then knowing how to use that information to create a room. So here are three easy suggestions for translating your style into a gorgeous room!
1. Select a favorite outfit, artwork, or treasured item for your inspiration. To keep it simple, I’m going to use your favorite outfit as an example for creating your interior design. First begin by snapping photos of your outfit, noting it’s styles, patterns, colors, textures, and accessories including tops, bottoms, shoes, purses, jewerly,scarves, ties or whatever you have.
2. Create an inspiration board. Include photos of your outfit with closeup shots of the fabrics, colors, textures or any other details. Add paint chips that match the colors of your fabrics and accessories, plus any other details you can such as actual earrings or fabrics. Then add photos of furniture of your favorite furniture.
3. Go shopping Hunt for interior design products that look similar to your outfit’s style, color and/or texture using your inspiration board as a guide. And if you get stuck, remember you can always hire a profesional interior designer for a quick consult to make sure you’re going in the right direction or just to help you define your style.
