Now, more than ever, people are realising that their home is the biggest investment that they are likely to make in their life. With that in mind, the way you decide to decorate your home can be a very important factor in how valuable your home will appear to a property investor or someone who is looking to move up, or get on, the property ladder. With enough consideration for interior design, and understanding what you have to do, and what you have not to do, you can ensure you protect and enhance the value of your most valuable asset – your home.

Neutral Colors

Rather than going for that shocking pink, or outrageous orange, you should look to decorate your home in a way that would be inviting to new furniture of a different color and also inviting to those who do not have the same tastes as yourself. This is something that is often overlooked by people when they are decorating their home, and it can be something that can come back to haunt them when they wish to sell up. This is what some people would refer to as the golden rule of interior design.

As an interior designer, I’m often asked by my clients if it’s a good idea to use similar colors and furnishings in a room. Their common belief is that similar colors will create a safe, clean-looking design. I tell them that although the design will be safe and clean-looking, it will also be very uninteresting.

Why do I say that? Because a truly interesting room design requires dimension in fabric textures and natural material finishes, as well as furnishings that have a common theme but are diverse in style.

For example, when you enter a beautifully designed room, you first notice the color. Then you notice the dimension of the furnishings, and finally you notice the complete picture as everything takes shape.

In my interior designer practice, I’m often asked by my clients “What’s my style?” They’re having a hard time identifying their own style, and they turn to me as an expert. I always tell them, “The style you like is your style!”

What exactly does that mean? It simply means that, just as you are unique, so is your style. Your style is a reflection of your own taste, lifestyle, and history.

Your style will undoubtedly evolve as you mature. The style you like when you’re in your 50s will probably be different from the style you liked in your 20s. That’s normal. As we change, our tastes change too. We shouldn’t fight the changes, we should embrace them.
