How to add some understated glamour to your home

Tuesday 15th Nov 2022 |

Feeling a little underwhelmed with the décor in your house? Is your sanctuary looking a little tired? It might be time to give your house a little spruce and breath new life into neglected corners.

This doesn’t always have to mean that you have to invest thousands into a dramatic makeover. Indeed, giving your house a new look and feel can also be achieved by investing in statement pieces that give your rooms a lift.

Here are a few things you might want to consider when looking for centrepieces that won’t steal the show or jar with the rest of your décor.

Look up

Lighting plays a huge role in the look and feel of a house. Whether it’s a quirky reading lamp nestled next to a cosy armchair, an ultra-modern desk lamp, or a centrepiece for your dining room, such decorative lighting is a great way to incorporate a sense of occasion.

Choosing modern chandeliers to compliment circular dining tables provides somewhat of a regal atmosphere. Opt for a sculpted piece rather than one adorned in sparkly crystals and it will give your dining room a carefree, contemporary elegance. This is a great opportunity to add some personality too.

Coffee tables that are made for more than coffee

Coffee tables are fast becoming a must-have for living rooms. Not only are they practical in terms of storage and books, but they also effortlessly pull a room together. Depending on the design of your living room, you need to consider the colour, material, and size.

If your living room leans towards minimalism, choose something uncomplicated and streamlined, if your furniture is plush and rich with texture, an ottoman would fit the bill perfectly and if you prefer a classic design, a solid wood coffee table will never go out of style.

Roll out the rug

Perfect for spaces that are craving a touch of softness, rugs are always worth the investment. Have fun with textures, fabrics, colours, and patterns, adding a splash of colour to neutral rooms or a cosy vibe to rooms dominated by hard materials.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with size too. Depending on the size of your room and the space available, you can turn empty corners into inviting reading spaces and make vacuous spaces snugger with the simple addition of a rug.

Pieces to reflect upon

Mirrors, whether they are housed in a gilded frame, propped up against the wall, or used simply for ornamental purposes, have the effect of enlarging a room tenfold. Be bold and buy them in playful shapes, keep them restrained with a perfect circle or add a touch of vintage glamour with a heavy frame.
