Have you ever found yourself struggling to pick out the perfect décor for your home, or even at times wondered how your friends make it look so easy? Here are a few tips to help you with your interior styling:

    Browse:

    Browsing everything from magazines to Pinterest is a wonderful way to find a look that works for you. Search Pinterest by keywords like ‘décor’ and ‘interior design’ to get a feel for what you like. You’ll also likely find some inspiration from our very own ABC Blinds Pinterest boards found here. You can create your own mood boards on Pinterest to help develop your décor vision. A more traditional route is to tear out the images that are taking your eye in a magazine, put them aside and develop a physical mood board. Doing this will help you to develop more of an idea as to what styles of décor you’re into.

    Online quizzes:

    There are plenty of online quizzes at your disposal designed to find out exactly what your decorating style is, so try a few! If you’re finding a theme emerging, chances are you’re on the right track.

    What’s in your wardrobe?

    Take a quick look at your wardrobe, or even what you’re wearing right now! Pay close attention to the colours, textures and what pieces you call your favourites. If you find you’re often wearing a distinctive pop of colour, that’s a sign that your décor and window treatments should follow the same route, and our bold range of Panel Blinds will be right up your alley.

    If you are perhaps finding yourself wearing neutral colours? Then that’s a sign you’re yearning for neutral, toned-down décor. Perfectly accompanied by our natural looking Timber-look Venetians. What you wear and how you wear it is often a great indicator of how you’d like your home to be decorated.

    Pay attention to the exterior of homes:

    On your daily commute, are there any addresses that stand out? Homes that you find yourself dreaming over, take note of exactly what you like about these homes! If it’s a traditional brick home that’s taken your fancy, chances are you’d love traditional décor and window treatments for yourself. One of our elegant, classic products Curtains will be right up your alley.

    If you find the home you’re fond of has a sleek modern look, you’ll likely enjoy the same indoors. The minimalist details of clean walls and simple furniture paired with our range of contemporary Vertisheer Blinds.

    Take an inventory of what you already have:

    Take a walk through your home and make two lists. Separate what you already love around the home, and what you wish you could replace. Review the list of things you love, find what they all have in common, and you'll reveal an inner style preference you might not have even realised. Next, review the list of replaceable items and find out exactly what you don’t like about them. Keep these lists with you whenever you are making a purchase for the home! It’ll serve as a great guide to keep your style on point.

Once you have a better idea of what your style is, you’re in complete control of your décor!
