3 Interior Design Tips That Will Transform Your Home

Harcourts Holmwood Merivale - Cindy-Lee Sinclair

These tips can make a world of difference to a room or small space, budget friendly and with stunning results!

1) Cheer up small places with plants
As we tend to focus on large pieces of furniture like sofas and tables, corners of our homes are often left a little neglected. The solution? Add an array of fresh and different textured plants, big and small. The splash of green looks amazing in any room.

2) Use wallpaper in unexpected places
So long are the days were wallpaper is used on every wall. Instead, be clever and playful with it. Whether wallpaper in a corner of a room, underneath the staircase or inside cupboards – it instantly adds statement to your home.

3) Leave cabinets and shelving space open
Embrace clutter. Open shelving is a fantastic way to display our homeware and means we can actually be more diligent about what we keep.
