Creating the wow factor for your home can many many different things to different people.
We all have different views but essentially the wow factor is whatever makes your home stand out and makes you feel happy in the home you are living in.
When looking at redecorating or even renovating, you need to make sure you look at your house as a whole, not just the interior and exterior of your home can also be a reflection on you and your style. The same goes for any outdoor space you have, lawns, patios, garages etc.
Having simple standout features is not only a perfect way to tie in the decor theme inside and outside of your home.
It also gives you and your visitors something to focus on. You don’t want to be overwhelmed by having too much going on. So keep things simple and connected and give a flow to your home through your chosen color theme and styles.
The very first impression people get of you and your home is from the outside. So take a second to appreciate the curb appeal of your home and look at how you can give it some wow factor treatment too.
So let’s have a look at some effective ways of changing up your home and giving it that something extra!
Curb Appeal
Start as you mean to go on and create your look from the outside. Keeping your outside space clear from clutter and weeds and any grass area manicured is a great way to start. Why not look at different fence styles to add some personality to an otherwise overlooked part of your garden space. Give it some personality so people get an idea of what to expect when they visit your home.
Maybe you create a statement border around your grass with some colourful flowers to add a bit of life and fun to the front of your house. Fill it with your favourite flowers or create a statement with color!
The Exterior of Your Home
If you have a theme for your interior decor, then why stop inside! Bring your style out to incorporate the exterior of your home too. Consider adding rendering to brickwork and paint in a modern colour to freshen up your home, or simply give your current exterior a facelift with a lick of paint!
What do your windows say about you? Do they look tired and in need of replacing? Don’t let your home down by not replacing windows that are no longer functional or fit for purpose. Choose a window replacement company to help you find a style that compliments your home and can add a little personality to the outside house.
Eye Catching Flooring
If you really want to create a talking point in your home, why not look for a flooring style that stands out. You want to make sure you are keeping in with the same theme as your decor but there are many options for you to adopt when it comes to choosing flooring with the wow factor.
Think outside the box, have you seen the flooring made with pennies? That is certainly something that captures people’s attention. How about creating an optical illusion on your staircase? Tell a story as people climb your stairs and get lost in the design and detail on each step!
Have Something To Say
If you want to say something with your interior design, say it! Create a statement wall that contrasts the rest of the room. You don’t need this to take over the room however it still needs to work with your chosen look. Clash colors and create an atmosphere with your statement wall. Another great idea is to add statement pieces to a room. An overdramatic light fitting that draws people to the center of the room can really add something special to compliment your style.
Maybe a rug is more your thing? If so strategically placing it in front of another striking feature can really make it pop. Speaking of striking features, make the most of the features in your home if you live in an older property. Think fireplaces, reading nooks, window seats. all of these little areas you may not have much thought too can be transformed into something eye-catching that will transform the feel of the whole room!
There are many ways you can create a wow factor in your home, a lot of them can be really inexpensive too. All you need is an eye for detail and a creative vision to create a home that not only reflects you but also wows visitors too!
