The Artsy Upgrade

Home decoration is more than just having a pretty room. Decorating or redecorating a home may start out exciting with all the ideas and vision. However, things start to get complicated when something doesn’t work out the way you thought it would. In some cases, we freeze, our ideas and the vision disappears, pushing us back to square one.
Conversely, it can be an enthralling experience if properly planned.

The trick is not to rush into a vague concept or overthink when a plan does not go accordingly. Most importantly, listen to the experts when buying decor items for your home. To help plan your next home decor project, we asked one of the biggest providers of contemporary home decor products, Satori to help us out.

Here are some home decor tips from Satori to give your home the elegant makeover

First Things First

The essential element in making homes look elegant is actually free. Start with cleaning and decluttering your home. Regular dusting and vacuuming can make your home look and feel neat. Also, it allows you to take care of the stains and spots on your rugs. Keep your windows clean to allow more natural light to fill your home. It makes homes brighter and welcoming. Not only do you feel better about your home, but it will enable the other elements – pillows, accessories, paint, lighting, and flooring – to stand out.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Far from simply being a practical object, a mirror can transform your space. A well-positioned mirror can make a smaller room look more spacious and sleek. Strategically placed mirrors are some of the simplest tricks to expand your small spaces visually. In fact, aside from oversized windows and soaring ceilings, there is no better friend to tiny spaces than a well-placed mirror. Whether it’s bringing in light, breaking visual clutter, or expanding walls, mirrors can help you solve almost any design dilemma. Most importantly, they are great decorative pieces as well.

Add Some Panache

Lights make or break home décor. It is a crucial factor in changing the ambience and mood of a room. It can create the perception of the room being much larger than its actual size as well. The conjunction of incoming natural lighting and artificial sources make the best amalgamation of interior decor. An exquisite chandelier will light up your living room in sheer luxury. It is a reflection of domestic elegance, wealth and beauty. However, when you shop for a chandelier it’s crucial to make sure it’s the right size for your interiors. Investing in a piece that’s too big will only make your room appear smaller and crowded. If you don’t want that outcome, then ensure that the lighting is proportionate to the size of the room.

Accessorise!

Most average homes lack the necessary accessories to bring that elegant touch to space. While many believe accessorising would over-extend their budget, the exact opposite is true. There are many affordable ways to accessorising your home elegantly, especially if you focus on golden pieces. Gold is associated with wealth and riches and can instantly create an exquisite feeling. Accessorise with gold picture frames, gold mirrors, or one of the new, modern gold-legged tables to bring class in your home.

Freshen with Flowers

Artificial flowers are back in style again! Now, they are stylish, adorable and suddenly becoming increasingly popular. The reason is simple: thanks to a new breed of bouquets that look and even feel real. Flowers soften any room and make quiet rooms positively dreamy, but they can also add unexpected dimensions to modern, even industrial spaces.
