A modern-day fairy
tale is not one that is limited to the traditional format of
prince-saves-princess, and neither is the modern fairy tale home. Updating your
home's interior to make it embody something fit for a fairy tale isn't about
turning your home into some sort of mythical castle; it is about making the
changes that make you feel the best and most comfortable. Focus on sustainable
renovations that your whole family can continue to enjoy for years to come.
Considering that the home is an investment, these suggestions will positively
impact the wider resale value of your home.
Update Your Flooring
Is your flooring
looking a little tired and scuffed? Is it laden and burdened by marks caused by
plates dropping or your child deciding to test their art skills in
inappropriate places? Flooring is often said to be one of the most important
elements of any interior design – unlike elements like curtains, pain, or
wallpaper, and it cannot be easily or quickly changed. New flooring can also be
quite expensive, so when you feel it's time to update your flooring, you should
choose something that will last.
If you are looking to
update your flooring, you should consider installing a hardwood floor. These
floors not only look gorgeous but last a lot longer than tiles, lino, or carpet. They give off a
timeless natural beauty that no other material can match, bringing some of that
fairy tale charm into your house. Wood flooring is also a good investment, and
it's been found to add value to your home when you come to sell it. Choosing bespoke artisan wood
flooring gives you the
biggest range of choice for sustainable and natural flooring.
Think About Lighting
Lighting has a big impact on the look and feel of any home. Not only
does lighting affect how your home looks, but how you feel in it. Low levels of light can impact mental
health and your wellbeing as it is linked to stress hormones and even
endorphins.
One of the easiest
things you can do if you want to renovate your fairy tale home is to get more
light into dark rooms. This can be done quite simply by adding more lighting
features. If you feel inspired by classic fairy tales, why not try adding a
second-hand chandelier, which brings in light and refracts it in the glass for
a magical effect. You can also add mirrors in locations that reflect natural
light in from the window.
Add Soft Furnishings
A simple trick for you to get that cozy and romantic fairy tale cottage
esthetic in your home is by adding more soft
furnishings. Soft furnishings like rugs, throws, and cushions can
reduce any room's harshness, making it look softer and more appealing for you
and your guests. If you are worried about spending money on furnishings when
you have young children, why not cover your furniture with throws? Not only
does this make your home feel homely, cozy, and inviting it helps to protect
your furniture too!
Shop
Vintage
If you love the unique artifacts that you can see in the background of
fairy tale films, a great way to find classic and magical pieces that don't
also have extortionate price tags is to look for some of your home décor in
vintage and second-hand shops. You can get your furniture sorted by visiting
many vintage shops, or you can look for decorations that give your home that
magical charm. It's also a sustainable way of shopping that will help you find
one-of-a-kind pieces to define your home to guests and family members alike. To
avoid collecting too many mismatched pieces, you must ensure your shopping
stays cohesive. A great way to do that is by creating a mood board for your
home. This could be a folder of screenshot photos on your phone or a Pinterest
board that you can refer to as you go about your shopping.
Add
More Plants
Whether or not you have a garden adding more plants to the home is a
great way to improve your interior look. The plants that you choose might
depend on your interior style, but you are sure to find plants that enhance the
esthetic that you have decided upon. For example, you might want to choose flowers with color
palettes that complement your home or, if you don't have a good record with
house plants, you might want to choose more resilient plants.
