Here are seven tips you can draw upon before going ahead with your home makeover:
-
Change the Colour Scheme and Texture
Your apartment, be it a 2 or 3 BHK in Pune, a residential plot, or any other type of home, must appear strikingly different from how it looks now. For that, you need to choose a different color, tiles, and furnishings for walls, furniture, and other fittings. For instance, if the current shade of your living room is green, why not opt for yellow, orange, or even red this time around? Check out the wall color palette for more colours and shades that look markedly different from your current shades. Alternatively, you can also consider using wallpaper which is available in a mind-boggling variety of shades, prints, and even textures to top!

Get New Artwork, Wall Hangings, Adornments, et al.
Ring out the old decorative articles you’re using currently and get new ones that complement your new décor.

A number of sellers also facilitate imprinting customized decorations on different objects, which make possibilities even wider.

Choose Right Lighting
Your décor isn’t complete without impeccable lighting that complements your home. Try elegant lighting ideas (e.g. layering light), pick striking lanterns and lampshades that go well with your new interiors but take care to not overdo it at the same time.

Throw in New Cushions, Change the Curtains
New cushions and curtains, whether they match or contrast your new décor, can create a dramatic effect in your home.
