5 Tips for Designing a Unique Home that Makes a Statement

August 4, 2022

When it comes to creating a unique home, it sounds achievable, yet, it sounds far away, right? But just as there are exterior improvements that make sense, the same can be said about the interior. A lot of people change their interiors because they’re following trends. But why go for trends when you can just follow your own interest? 

However, creating a unique home doesn’t necessarily mean that it is trendy. This can honestly be a perfect method for just transforming your space into something more timeless. Here are some tips for designing a unique space that will not only withstand the tests of time but can make a statement too.

1. Use colour to your advantage to make your home stand out

Colourful walls can make your home look more attractive and inviting. It can also help you to stand out in the neighborhood. Some people think that it is difficult to choose colours for their home because there are so many colors to choose from. However, this does not have to be the case. There are some colors that work better than others in certain rooms of the house and some colors that work better with certain styles of decorating. You’re going to want to think about the undertones, what will suit the interior, and what will suit you and your interest. Black and navy blue are not only luxurious but even considered quite unique too.

2. Find inspiration in nature and other cultures

Nature is a great source of inspiration because it provides a constant reminder that there are always new possibilities in the world. Nature can also be an excellent source of ideas, as you will find different examples of how plants, animals, and natural elements can be used in the design. Just make sure you don’t neglect cultural appropriation if you have cultural elements in your home.

3. Create cohesive vignettes to create the look of one large space

You can do this by using furniture and decor that have similar colors, textures, and patterns. You can also use the same type of lighting and flooring throughout the space to create a unified look. This is ideal for open flooring plans.

4. Redesign your furniture

A lot of furniture out on the market honestly looks the same. Now, why would someone want to have the exact same piece of furniture everyone else has? This isn’t exactly the greatest way of creating a space that looks unique, right? Well, a great way to be sustainable while at the same time creating something one of a kind would be through upholstery. There are plenty of upholstery suppliers around, so if this is a DIY project you want to try, then you certainly can!

5. Utilize natural light by keeping windows clear and uncluttered

Natural light is one of the most important resources that a home is going to need. It’s a great way to help bring up the atmosphere, plus it’s sustainable too. You should keep your windows clear and uncluttered so that there is no obstruction between our space and the outside environment. This will allow you to take advantage of natural light even in winter when sunlight is scarce.
