3 Creative Interior Design Ideas
1. A Giant Mirror Wall in the Bedroom
Mirrors don’t get as much attention in the interior décor industry as they should. They are one of the most underrated articles of furniture and can often be used as a very creative substitute. For instance, instead of putting up a small wall mirror in your bedroom, why not turn the entire wall itself into a giant mirror? Having a mirror wall actually has tons of benefits.
First, you no longer have to worry about which color to pick for that side of the wall. The mirror wall will simply reflect the room and everything inside it and give out an illusion of having double the parallel space in your room than there actually is.
Not just that, but you also no longer will have to worry about constantly having to stand directly in the sight of that tiny little wall mirror in order to use it because, well, now you have an entire wall for that! Look around your home and see which things would look better if replaced with a mirror instead. Try this idea out and see if it works for you!
2. Blackboard Wall in the Kitchen & Whiteboard Wall in the Home Office Room
Another one of our favorite creative interior design ideas is yet another wall idea. But we just can’t help how useful these ideas are. We admire the kind of décor ideas that are not just pretty to look at but are also really functional and prove handy for your everyday life. In this case, we have two really good recommendations for you that we know you’ll love!
First: Blackboard Wall in Kitchen
If you are someone who is fond of cooking and likes to experiment with new and different recipes, this idea is perfect for you! Installing a blackboard / chalkboard wall in your kitchen can help you jot down all the ingredients that you need, the cooking procedure, or simply a place to write down the groceries that you need to remind yourself to buy next time.
As soon as you’re done with the info written on the blackboard wall, simply wipe it off with a duster or dry cloth and make room for the next time.
Second: Whiteboard Wall in Home Office Room
It’s quite likely that the quarantine life has influenced you as well and has driven you into working from home like the most of us. This new lifestyle sure is difficult, but one of the ways people have been dealing with it is by turning and devoting one of their rooms solely for work purposes i.e. building a home office.
Now, turning a room into a home office isn’t really as tricky as it may sound. All you need to get right are some essentials. Apart from the obvious like an office table / workstation and a comfortable armchair for long sessions of sitting, the number one thing on our list that you need is a whiteboard wall.
This is something that is utile for almost all corporate professions. For instance, if you’re a marketing strategist, you can use your wall to draw up different marketing campaign plans. If you’re a graphic designer or an architect, you can use it as an occasional substitute to your iPad to design new ideas and have a more “hands-on” experience.
Plus, this gives you a good excuse to get out of your chair every once in a while and work on your whiteboard instead so as to avoid ending up with a bad posture and / or back aches.
3. Go Minimal in the living room
The rise of the minimalist movement is certainly a very welcomed one among many artists and designers, and it’s no different for interior designers. Many people have started opting for a “modern minimalist” approach for their interior décor choices.
Minimalism, in a nutshell, is the idea of owning only those possessions that are essential to you and add significant value to your life as an individual.
It basically teaches us how to live with less and be more organized and prioritize our needs over our wants. To give you a quick example: you will never find TV wires and cables simply hanging loose from the screen or the fireplace all messy and untidy in a minimalist’s apartment.
A minimalist would find one way or the other to make their place look as clean and ‘light’ as possible. Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? We know. That’s why we have made these two simple guides for you on how to hide TV wires and some beautiful fireplace decor ideas that we bet you’d love to steal!
Apart from general tidiness, minimalism is known for smart storage i.e. choosing the furniture and accessories that help you minimize the clutter in your living room. Things like cable managers, couches and ottomans with in-built storage space, sliding doors, and so on.
If you’d like to take it a step further, you can try experimenting with colors too. The basic formula when it comes to colors for a minimalist is, usually, to pick a tonal color palette and stick to it.
For instance, you could have your living room consisting mostly of just different shades of blue including the color of your walls, furniture, and maybe even the fireplace, with some white or grey articles of furniture spread accordingly for a beautiful contrasting effect like shown in the image above.
You can learn a lot more about minimalistic color combinations if you do a little research of your own. In our experience, we have found out that consistency of tone is the key, no matter if you’re going for an all-white look or for darker and muted tones. Feel free to keep experimenting to know what works the best for you!
