When it comes to home decor we look at the big things, the obvious things, the furniture, the paint, the curtains – but there’s much more that can be done.
Think about the less commonly considered home upgrades that can completely transform a room’s aesthetic.
Whether it’s the modern look, the traditional look, or something somewhere in between the two, there’s so much more to a room than its furniture and colour scheme.
With everyone chasing those fancy recliners and overpriced carpets, make your home stand out with some investment into the afterthoughts that will make visitors go “wow, I didn’t even consider that”.
The Radiator
Yes, your radiator can act as a stylish fixture – even as a centrepiece in some homes. While many will go for that white panel radiator you can spice it up for only a little more.
With different colours, sizes ranging from tall vertical radiators to wide column numbers there is almost too much choice.
Whether it’s a charming cast-iron radiator that you want to complete your countryside vision or you need something sleek to complement your minimalist, modern utopia – there’s a radiator for you.
Check out some of the top retailers like Trade Radiators and turn that clumpy yet functional afterthought into something that flows with your room’s aesthetic.
The Doors
Many love a fancy front door, but why does it have to stop there? The living room door, the bathroom door, and the kitchen doors can act as fin intros to each room and their chosen aesthetic.
If you’re going to have each room designed with its own colour scheme, why not extend that to the doors.
Big bulky wooden doors will give that regal mountain cabin look – or you can go rustic and opt for some Scandinavian simplicity. There are so many options.
Plants
The houseplant revolution is upon us and it’s no wonder why, if you live in a city you can turn a flat into a beautiful botanical garden.
For the most part, they are very sturdy, and can completely transform the aesthetics of your home.
They are cheap too! And while many will opt for a single plant in the corner of a given room, you can make houseplants consistent throughout the home.
It’s a simple change but you will be surprised how much ao a difference even just 5 houseplants can make to a room and its overall vibe.
The After-Afterthoughts
The “if I was a bit sillier I’d go for it kind of afterthoughts”, who cares how silly it may be, if you want it, get it. It’s your home after all.
Want a hammock in the living room? Go for it! What about a beanbag in the bedroom for naps? It not only offers you comfort, but it also gives your room that bit of personality!
True personality shines through when you make a room your own with whatever you want to implement into it, no matter how daft or silly it may seem. So don’t discount those after-afterthoughts!
