If you’ve recently been feeling your house is in need of an upgrade, but don’t quite know where to start, this article is for you. Here are our top ways to add a contemporary finish to any room of your house…
Minimalist colours
By doing away with old gaudy or over-patterned wallpaper, you can instantly add a contemporary finish to any room of the house. Swap these for soft pastel tones or simple patterns, to instantly add a modern look. Same can be said for your accessories, have a good declutter and decide on a simple colour scheme.
Upgrade your appliances
Whether you have an old cooker or radiator, these can instantly make a space look old and drab. We recommend replacing the old fashioned radiators with modern, designer radiators that do more than just add heat to your room in the winter! You’d be surprised at just what a difference this can make to your space.
Reinstate your fireplace
As with your radiators, a fireplace can make your space look old-fashioned. Add a contemporary touch finish to your home by doing-up your fireplace. Why You can be surprised how much simple alterations can do – add a touch of paint, or try turning your brick to stone and add some modern accessories to the mantlepiece. We suggest checking out pinterest for some fireplace inspiration!
Change your worktops
Gone are the days of messy, patterned worktops and in are simplistic contemporary design. Opt for a smooth marble or granite (you can go for marble and granite effect if you don’t want to splash out on the real deal!) or hardwood, which can instantly add a contemporary and clean finish.
Invest in some modern artwork for the walls
Artwork is great for instantly changing the mood of a room and some simple, modern prints are the ideal choice. Try to choose prints that match in with your colour scheme, but also add something new at the same time, such as a hint of metallic. We recommend checking out Desenio whos prints we’ve recently fallen in love with!
