Your home is your haven. It\u2019s the place where you relax and where you share reflections of your personality and style. While each room has it\u2019s function, it should also be a space that is appealing and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does your space make you happy? Is your interior design comfortable? Do guests compliment your style? If your answer is \u201cno\u201d to any or all of these, you may be in need of a room makeover<\/a>. To help determine this, consider the following as good indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"gorgeous-interior-design-makeover-walls\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bare walls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minimalist look is great when designed mindfully with interesting furniture and beautiful accents. If that\u2019s not your intended style, re think the use of your walls. Bare walls can feel cold and empty. An accent paint color or wallcoverings<\/a> is an easy way to dress your walls. Framed photography or a special work of art<\/a> gives your room a unique quality feeling warm, lived in. For more interesting wall decor options, consider hanging textiles, decorative baskets, or mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clutter is an interior\u2019s bacteria. Before you know it, it takes over. If you can\u2019t see your armchair because it\u2019s being used as a closet or the console table in your entry looks worse than your desk, it\u2019s time to look at organizational items like shelves, baskets, and trays that will greatly reduce clutter and enhance space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized but still feeling cramped? Taking a look at your furniture pieces and their layout is also helpful. Sometimes it\u2019s a simple spatial shift that makes all the difference. Try different combinations or have a professional designer<\/a> come up with solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"gorgeous-interior-design-makeover-eclectic\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Garage Sale Syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step back a second and take in your room. There\u2019s a difference between \u201cinterestingly worn\u201d and \u201cplain tired\u201d furniture. Discolored curtains or a broken chair are signs of needing help. If an eclectic style<\/a> is what you\u2019re after, consider how your pieces work together via color, form, theme, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"gorgeous-interior-design-makeover-lighting\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lighting Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting can be a tricky thing. You\u2019d think that you\u2019d simply turn on the switch and you\u2019re set. But, some lighting designs are ineffective making it too dark to do tasks, often requiring an uncomfortable amount of lamps. Others ignore the charm of ambient lighting and go straight for brightness that can give a room a cold feeling. A good lighting plan is one that addresses all types of lighting (ambient, task, accent) and offers varied sources<\/a> (table, floor, pendant, recessed). Consider this and your design style when making your changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You (and your friends) would rather not be there<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best indicator for your place needing a makeover is how it makes people feel. If you\u2019d rather be out than home or your guests would opt for a hotel room over your spare room, there\u2019s a real chance your space could use some changes. Using some of the above tips can help transform your room into a place that is comfortable, beautiful, and inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
