Has anyone else’s taste in decor changed because of covid? I used to LOVE only neutrals, but staying home for so long I thought if I had to look at one more neutral color I was going to lose my mind! I REALLY started craving color so I thrifted a bunch of colorful pieces of art and now my home feels happier.

I think a good thing to remember is also to feel how you use the space how you move in it. And the most crucial thing! Light! If you wait a little to decorate you can really see how the light falls in your room.

I love heavy contrast and monochromatic interior decor. I also LOVE exposed beams in the ceiling. It makes me feel like the room is less of a box and reminds me of the architecture that went into creating it.

Some of us like the look of artwork and that's where we let our eyes rest.

In general I like open, bright, airy spaces but I do enjoy having one cosy darker room I can retreat to when I want ☺️

I never thought I was a cave person, but then I bought a level floor apartment that gets mostly indirect sunlight in the morning, with a fireplace. It felt so cosy!

I realized I tend to prefer and use light colors in the interior while wearing black 7 days a week. :)

[Lifestyle-ehsu]

Totally agree with point #1! It's so important not to rush the process and feel the need to just buy buy buy the moment you move into the new space. I'm glad more people are giving themselves permission to just slowly discover their own taste and mind.

Art makes a home complete and expresses the personality and style of the owner. A home without art on the walls look empty and cold.

I was more of a cave person most of my life while living in the midwest region of the USA. But I am now transformed into a prairie person living in the tropics of Central America. Pale off-white porcelain floors, pale grey walls, powder blue Italian glass tiles as the kitchen backsplash, exactly one picture hanging. Everything designed to bring coolness into the space to balance the heat and humidity of the environment.

A great formula for your style interior. But as an interior designer who focuses on expressing my clients personal style into their homes the cave vs prarie analogy is far too simplistic. Also, a white walled room with not enough natural light just feels depressing. A dark ceiling can be essential and not at all heavy in large high ceiling spaces to give them more of a homely scale. And art can make an interior, fixing a few holes to move items around is not so hard. Even actual mistakes of wrong scale furniture, or too monotone, or too much repitition can be beautiful if done right.

I'm a interior designer. I agree with using the bulk of your money on quality pieces such as dining tables sofas and beds that you will like for 5+years. All white spaces give parents anxiety because of keeping things clean. They only show Scandinavian modern style but there are so many other styles you can love!

[kallie_w]

Totally agree with your decorating strategy-- slow and steady wins the race! Though I must admit, all-white-everything feels far too cold and clinical for me. I find that colourful, eclectic, even a little old-fashioned spaces feel the most cozy to me :) It's like... they feel more 'human'.

[elisa]

the heavy colors theory makes so much sense! when I moved into my dorm there were off-white floors and darker walls and it felt so wrong until I put in a fake wooden floor and now it feels so much bigger and cozier!

I think you also need to consider when you are actually at home. Big windows with a nice view are great if it´s a bright Sunday morning in spring or autumn, but if you are at home mostly at night or during summer holidays, you can feel either exposed or you have to keep blinds down to not let too much heat in.

[jelizabethpetrie]

You are a design anthropologist lady! 🎯🤩 I love to decorate a room like layers of an onion. I don’t decorate all at once. I thrift shop n estate sale hunt, layering the room with pieces I love and that fit not fight together. Beautiful shaker simple raw cherry wood table was recently completed with a simple architecture mid-century matte black low pedestal bowl in center. The contrast is the severeness of the table offset by the low roundness of classic 50’s.

2:20 if you want to be able to hang artwork and also change them somewhat frequently, then look into gallery-style hanging systems (hanging artwork from wires that are attached to rails in the ceiling).

I couldn’t agree more with the first point!!
I bought my apartment 2 months ago and I’m almost finished with my interior. I had a lot of money problems before moving in so I couldn’t buy everything I wanted.. but thank GOD for that!
I can’t believe how my cart on IKEA online used to look like. It was too much unnecessary stuff, too much impulse “buying”. I replaced more expensive furniture with cheaper furniture because I could not wait until it arrived in stock etc.
I’m so happy that I had the patience to wait.
You really need to live and get to know the space your apartment before buying the interior stuff!

I live in a dark log cabin and it's true I am a cave woman. I also live out in the country, so I am mostly outside. It's nice to have a cave out in the country. If I lived in the city, I would want my dwelling to feel more airy like yours.
