BRINGING YOUR PERSONALITY INTO YOUR HOME'S INTERIOR

Your home’s interior, like the clothes you wear, is a reflection of your personality. And exactly like those clothes, every now and then, we need a spring clean.
 
The great thing is, in your home, small changes can make a big difference. Changes can be simple. A new painting, updated furniture, fresh coat of paint – all are simple but transformative to your home.
 
So, where do you start? Let’s get inside the designer’s mind, and start with their greatest tool – using personality in interior design.
 
Interior Design: An expression of your style and personality
 
Ask yourself these questions before you start your interior design journey.
 

• What colours do you wear the most?
  You probably favour some colours over the others. Narrow down a few colours you really like – this will help you choose your paint colours wisely. Using similar colours or tones will also create a flow throughout your home, bringing your rooms together to work as a whole.

 

• What do you collect / spend your money on?
  Do you search your local market for old records or antique furniture? Maybe you’re a movie buff and you’re always hunting for new DVDs to add to your collection. Whatever you spend your money on, think about how you can integrate that into your home. It could be a vintage feature coffee table or a DVD wall cabinet.

 

• How would your friends describe you?
  Think about how your friends would describe you. Earthy, energetic, travelled, adventurous, cosmopolitan… These words might be an insight into the direction you want to take with your interior.

 
Interior design is an art. And like anything in art, styling lets you follow your heart and express yourself with conviction. Don’t be afraid to try something new when it comes to your home – it is yours, after all.
 
But at the same time, interior design goes beyond the visual – you have to make the rooms work for you. They need to be functional. Blend your personality and functionality, and you’ll hit the spot.
 
 
We understand it’s not a case of simply decorating your home with style that reflects your personality. There are items, themes and treatments that only a professional can provide that makes your new space ‘click’.
