How to Incorporate More Detailing into Your Décor

It can be difficult to fill that empty space in your home without going overboard and killing the vibe you’d created in the first place.

The moment you add too much detail to the room you can overdo it and its hard to go back from there. But that said, it’s still really beneficial to add details to your home, as these help to highlight certain areas and bring the décor to life.

Are you looking for ways to incorporate a little more detail into your décor? Here are some top tips to help you achieve just that.

The Right Fixings

Having the right ironmongery and fixings throughout your home is crucial. A door handle can transform the way a door looks in an instant, so you want to make sure you have the right style for your home.

Whether you opt for a classically chrome design, or you invest in a bold diamante number, you can enhance the way your doors look and add a touch of character to the area. The same applies for your fixings. You need your hinges and fixings to reflect the style of the room. For those with a modern style, you want to go for the clean, brushed texture that will reflect the light and keep the modern feel strong.

When you first decorate a room, it may not seem like an obvious feature to consider, but as soon as the room is complete, you’ll appreciate just how important that decision is. There are so many beautiful fixings and handles available, with a fantastic range at Milford’s Building Supplies for you to choose from.

Remember to keep the style consistent throughout your home, as this will ensure your interiors flow perfectly.

Lighting Features

Playing around with different lighting and shades will help you to create a look that really works for your interiors. Depending on the lights in each of the rooms, you can really play on the style you have and make them that little bit more special.

It’s harder to do this with spotlight lighting, but with lamps and hanging bulbs, you can find some stunning shades available that will transform that area of the room and bring it to life. You need to have a strong balance of lighting within each room to ensure it’s light and fresh, and with a stylish shade or feature surrounding it, the room will look ten times better.

If you’re looking for an edgy style, a great way to enhance your lighting is to paint your own lampshades to fit the theme of the room. By painting your shades, you can create a look that is unique to your home and really captures the feel you want to give for that particular room.

Shelving Storage

The one thing that can make a room look gloomy or dull is storage. From the moment you enter a room, you instantly pick up on the cleanliness and tidiness of the space, so it’s important to make sure your rooms are neat and tidy.

Adding in some shelves can create a lovely focal point within the room, which is a great additional detail. This is also a really good way to provide essential storage, as you can place books, boxes, photos etc on there to keep them neat and tidy, whilst still on display.
