5 Tips for Adding Style to Your Home

It seems like decorating style comes to some people naturally and others find it to be an ongoing challenge. If you are one of those who consider yourself style-challenged, that is going to change today!聽Adding style to your home doesn’t have to be difficult!
As I continue to update our home, I am constantly thinking of how my design style has evolved. With each newly updated room, I add elements, colors, and textures that help define my style and provide flow from one space to the next. Today I’m sharing things I’ve done in my own home to add style and give it a current look.
Whether you want a magazine-worthy aesthetic or simply want to add a few stylish touches here and there, follow these simple tips for adding style to your home!

1. Make a Lasting First Impression

Creating a memorable first impression for your home will go a long way in your effort to add style. A beautifully decorated entryway will draw your guest into your home. Additionally it will set the mood for the remaining rooms and leave your guests wanting to see more.

Treat it as you would any other space. Consider lighting, furnishings (if space allows), and wall decor. Be sure to accessorize it too.
Most importantly, be sure it is an introduction to your design style.

2. Brighten Your Rooms

When you look through home images on Instagram or Pinterest, you will see bright rooms everywhere. There is no doubt that most people are drawn to brighter spaces. Brightening your home will give you a clean, fresh style that is more than just aesthetically pleasing.
One of the easiest ways to brighten is with white. We recently made the decision to paint our walls white and it has made all the difference in the world.聽Find the right white paint for your home聽and enjoy your timeless update!

3. Update Your Lighting

Chandeliers and lamps add beauty and ambiance to your home. The first thing we did when we moved into our home was update the lighting. If your lighting lacks style or is dated, your home will also lack style. Consider updating it for a major impact.

4. Include Beautiful Details

It’s the little things that can often make the biggest impact. Stylish details such as tassels, gold accents and fresh flowers can tie the look together and add the聽style you are seeking.
Rather than a plain throw pillows, look for ones with tassels or texture.

5. Use Layers for a Finished Look

If you want to take it to the next level and get the look of a magazine styled home, add layers for depth and dimension.
Your coffee table is a good place to layer accessories. Much style will be added with a few decorative items. A great trick is to use trays to hold your accessories. They look great and can easily lift off of your surface as needed.

Layers of sofa pillows, especially when you include pillows with texture can add tremendous style to your home. They are also great for disguising a not-so-stylish sofa!
