Home decorating comes with many benefits. Aside from the obvious reason of improving the look of your space, home decorating, according to experts, promotes creativity, develops a sense of relaxation while also enhancing social intimacy. But aside from these, home decorating can actually make your home to stand out, especially if you follow these unique decorating tips by Leasing And Management.

Decorating your home differently could even mean you won’t need to do that remodeling project you’ve been considering, since the decorating in itself will make the space feel new again.

1. Pile On Layers

Not a lot of homeowners would agree with the idea of using multiple layers in decorating as this could clutter the look of the space if not done the right way. But adding more layers into the space is just like using a scarf to make your dress look even more fashionable.

You can do the same thing for your interiors. For instance, you can make your plain white sofa stand out even more by draping it with exotic looking fabrics, such as a sheepskin, Turkish towels or a vibrant colored quilt. This will result in a plush and well-sophisticated living space.

Don’t forget the floors, too. You can decorate the floors with several midsize rugs in slightly different patterns. This will give your space a worldly and bohemian appeal.

2. Don’t Be Afraid To Mix and Match

Sometimes, the key to making your space to stand out is to mix and match designs. Thus, do not just limit yourself to only one design or style. Consider the idea of pairing traditional decors with modern pieces, such as using rustic fabrics in accessorizing a modern designed living room space. Finding the right mix sometimes simply take a bit of trial and error.

Combining different design ideas will result in a one of a kind look, while giving your space a whole new dimension. A good design inspiration is to combine toile drapes, Moroccan rugs, a Victorian sofa and an Indian painting. These decors will all harmonize since one item will not outshine the others.

3. Break the Rules in Decorating

One of the benefits of having an ample space is that you can decorate it with anything you want. You can in fact break the usual rules on the type of furniture to decorate the space. For instance, you can combine two non-matching storage pieces. Accompany it with geometric patterns and mismatched curtains in your window and this will surely make your ample sized living room space to stand out.

If you have a cat, you can even buy litter boxes that are enclosed in furniture, such as benches, end tables and planters. This is a great way to hide the litter box and incorporate a new piece of furniture.

4. Create a Gallery Wall Using Frames

If you want an inexpensive way to spruce up a dull looking living room wall, purchase about a dozen picture frames in different sizes and shapes. You can then place different pictures in the frames and use it to create a gallery wall in your living room wall. This trend has been popular in the last few years and what’s great about a gallery wall is that it can serve as a focal point in your living room decor.

You can choose to put personal photos in the frames or pictures you have taken yourself from your travels. Do not be afraid to paint the frames if you need to, just so it can match with the rest of the decors in your living room space.
