6 Ways to Make Any Home Seem Like a Custom Home
You can buy a custom home or convert your existing home into one. It’s on everyone’s mind that they want their homes to look like luxury hotels with splendor chandeliers, charismatic colorways, or even modern farmhouse decor. Well, if that’s something you are thinking about, here are a few ways you can make your home feel custom-made without spending a fortune.
Make the Most of the Colors
You can’t just go and choose a color at random and expect it to look fabulous. There are tons of factors that you will have to consider here. It includes the light sources, decor theme, atmosphere, wall surface, paint finish, and the color palette you are interested in before drawing the colors that will look apt.
Get Solid-Core Interior Doors
Instead of following the practice of using lighter and not-so-durable doors, use solid-core interior doors that make the most sense. These doors create a grand appearance and can be custom-made with countless paneling designs and styles.
Overhaul the Lighting
Lighting is often an overlooked factor when setting up a home, but that mindset is flawed. It would help if you thought of lighting as a way to make your home look bigger and brighter than it is. You can spice it up with an assortment of fixed and hanging lights. The market is filled with countless designs to choose from.
Get lights with warm or cool colors depending on how you want rooms to look, although you can use a lighting control system to get an array of temperatures at your disposal.
Give your Ceiling Some Details
People usually leave their ceilings plain white, but there’s a lot of scope to make it interesting. Detailing the ceilings with boxed beams or parallel lines and grooves, depending upon the interior of your home, can make it stand against the odds. It can create a cohesive custom design that will leave onlookers baffled when they glance at it.
Spice up the Kitchen
Don’t expect a home to look custom-made without spicing up the kitchenette. The center of attraction of a custom house is the kitchen. Using an island inside a kitchen can give it a custom look while serving functions as a prep center and cabinets for storing food supplies for your little ones. There are millions of designs for islands, be it retro, modern, something with structural support and so on. The possibilities are endless.
Hang Mirrors All the Way
Consider a narrow hallway or a small room. You can’t just magically make it look bigger, but thanks to the mirror, you can create an illusion. Using mirrors that complement the lights can make your hallways look grand. Again, you have countless options on selecting the correct type of mirror, the size, and how it goes with the existing lighting around it.
DIY Board + Batten
This is all the rage right now - and relatively inexpensive too which is great! Developing plain spaces into warm, inviting, cozy environments with board + batten treatments on the walls, using wainscoting or shiplap can really update a home. Toss a good accent color in there and you're good to go!
