Styling Tips to Help Elevate Your Space
When it comes to styling your home, every room offers unique opportunities to express your personal taste. From the entryway to the living room, dining area, and beyond, each space is a blank canvas waiting to be transformed into a reflection of your style and personality. Whether you prefer minimalist elegance or cozy eclecticism, Nazeli Design’s styling tips will help you make the most of every corner of your home.
Your entryway is the first thing people see upon entering your home, it's important to create the right tone for the space. If you have the space try creating a corner that catches the eye by placing a console table with artwork or a mirror and decorating it with unique bowls to hold items like keys, a lighter, or anything else that people can place their small belongings in. Adding a vase and decorative books is always a good option as well. Incorporating some sort of greenery is also a good designer hack, it’s an easy way to bring back life into the area.
Another big area to style is your living room ofcourse. You should aim to create a cozy and inviting space there. You could have a simple couch but if you style it with these tips and tricks you can elevate it entirely. By adding textured or colored throw pillows and blankets you are adding such a cozy vibe. It attracts people to the area. You can also “layer” your seating by mixing things up like armchairs and sofas with poufs of different patterns or colors. These additional details of color, pattern, texture are what differentiate your personal style. Don’t be afraid to bring in what you love. Another key component is to focus on the lighting throughout the home, not just one area. Table lamps, floor lamps, sconces, chandeliers all go a long way and are a huge detail in styling.
The dining room is also a fun place to style. It doesn't need as much work as you'd think. There is limited furniture that goes into here so it’s important you pick the right pieces. The dining table for example is a style on its own. Not everyone has the space for a buffet table or accent pieces so doing it right with your table and chairs is crucial. When you aren't serving guests or yourself you can add decor pieces like candle holders, vases, or even a runner. Since the space could be limited, lighting will be another contributing factor so adding a pendant or chandelier above your table could be a game changer.
Two more areas that can really be elevated with the right styling techniques are the kitchens and the bathrooms. Your kitchen must remain functional but dressing it up with fun bar stools is an easy way to keep the area aesthetic. You can also add open shelving and place your specific collectibles there. Even small bathrooms can feel luxurious with the right styling. Whether it’s a powder room or a primary bathroom, you can create a look that feels like a spa almost. Sourcing a beautiful shower curtain along with plush towels will give it such a rich feel. You can also add specialty paint or wallpaper to an accent wall in there along with sconces and there you have it, a beautifully styled bathroom.
Styling is very specific to your personality and that’s what makes it so special. It doesn't mean you have to make intensive changes but rather add your own touch to change it up and elevate the space. Remember, lighting, textures, patterns, and colors are crucial. Start there and see how far you'll go. Nazeli Design is always here as your interior design guru when you need it.
