When you redecorate, you want to create a look that will last – a room you’ll take pleasure in using for years to come.
But inevitably, your tastes change, trends evolve, and sometimes you simply need a refresh.
That’s why there’s never a bad time to redecorate. The invigoration of a whole new interior design can make your place feel like a brand new home. And with some great talents based in and around Birmingham, there are plenty of local suppliers who can lend input to your renovation project.
So if it’s time to reimagine your home, these are just three home improvement tips.
- Get external inspiration
First things first, the ideas stage!
You might already have a crystal clear vision of what you want to transform in your home, and what you want that transformation to look like.
But if not, there are plenty of resources to find that all-important inspiration. Interior design publications like World of Interiors, Elle Decoration, and Frame Magazine are always one step ahead of the latest styles as well as experts in the classic and timeless, with examples and inspiration to suit a range of home interiors and architectures of all different kinds.
But if you really struggle for inspiration, can’t decide on your style, or simply want to hand the task over to an expert, Harris Byrne are a specialist interior design consultancy based in Birmingham. Their in-person showrooms demonstrate impeccable taste and luxury, with a wealth of experience in creating bespoke items to fit your specifications.
- Reimagine your use of colour
Colour co-ordination can hugely impact the appearance of any room, bringing together a pleasing visual cohesion or creating a rainbow of chaos that isn’t always flattering.
Repainting a room can be laborious, but there are other ways to transform a room with the use of a well-selected palette without turning to Farrow & Ball.
Deborah Emmerson is a Midlands-based designer who knows how to transform a room with the use of harmonious colour schemes and patterns, whether starting from scratch or working with what you already have.
- Home extension
A home extension is a great way to add more space to your home, and creating a space from scratch gives you creative control from the word go, so your space is designed for your needs.
For instance, a garage could serve as a place to house your car, or simply a man-cave for games and relaxation. Alternatively, a new conservatory can serve as a place to welcome guests to your home, or simply to relax in the summer months and make the most of the weather.
Using trusted contractors is crucial – Lonsdale Metal are experts in glazing bars for roof installation – and it means you can collaborate with knowledgeable experts to craft the space of your dreams.
