Elegant Interior Remodeling Ideas For Your Home

Looking for elegant ideas to freshen up the look and feel of your home?

Whether it’s a new coat of paint, or total remodel, livening up your space every now and then is essential. 

You don’t need an expensive interior designer for effective interior remodeling. In fact, you can do it on your own without breaking the bank.

In this article, we’ll cover a few elegant interior remodeling ideas for your home so that you can get the most out of your space for years to come. 

Interior Remodeling: Start With Your Color Scheme

Choosing the perfect color scheme can make or break your interior remodeling project. 

Recent trends call for shades of gray. Pair them with pure whites. This creates a cool, clean look in any space but is most popular in kitchens today. 

To add depth to this idea choose Edison bulb accents. Edison light bulbs look excellent in exposed fixtures. This accent makes your room look warm and adds an industrial touch.

Not sure about gray and white? Some other ideas involving color include:

  • Give your window trim a splash of color to brighten up any room in your home.
  • Amplify neutral colors with texture.
  • Paint your ceilings a paler version of your walls to brighten a room
  • If you’re going to use a dark hue, dive in! Use a strong color on the baseboard, crown molding, and walls. This works because the dark hue isn’t contrasted by a different color trim.

Make Your Space Functional

Interior remodeling isn’t just about how things look. It’s about how you place things in a room, too.

Create the illusion of height in a room with low furniture. Create strong vertical lines throughout the room. Large mirrors also add scale.

Most of all, let the size of a space dictate your furniture placement. Does your bed need to rest against a window wall? Choose a headboard that will let light in.

Functionality counts in your kitchen. Slide out drawers are a perfect option for anyone looking to organize and navigate their space better.

Personalize Your Space

While minimalism is huge today, you don’t need to practice cookie cutter design for an elegant result.

It’s easy to get caught up in trends, but if you want to maximize your investment you’ll need a happy medium.

You can craft a kitchen design that won’t go out of style and still feels like home by incorporating accessories, appliances, and decor you love.

Showcase the art and investment pieces you love, even if their lines aren’t clean. You can also add a bold and unique backsplash to your kitchen. No matter what design you choose, make sure to incorporate pieces that communicate your individual taste, too.

As you can see, interior remodeling can take your home in many directions. The key is to choose one that is a blend of timeless features and your own personal style. 

You don’t need to drain your bank account to create an elegant home. A simple coat of paint can do wonders for a room.
