But there’s so much you can do with interior design nowadays. It can often be hard to know what to focus on or what features to incorporate into your home.

This article will cover some modern features that take the interior design world by storm. Have a read and discover something new for your own home!

Get A Better Radiator

Summer is just around the corner, so you’ll rarely touch your central heating. This is a prime opportunity to overhaul your home’s heating features before you need to put them to use again.

Frequently the radiator can be overlooked in a home because people view it like a washing machine or a dishwasher; for its functional purpose. But radiators can add aesthetic value to your living spaces too!

The radiator world has come a long way from the stereotypical traditional white column radiator that is o’ so common.

In today’s market, there’s every colour or finish you could imagine for a horizontal radiator in all kinds of materials. There are even infrared glass radiators available now!

Shop around and see what you can find for your home – you may be pleasantly surprised.

Matt Wall Colours

If you are looking for a more ‘in’ look, or something that verges on more contemporary than traditional, then matt colours are for you. Getting rid of the glossy sheen that a lot of home paint can have can do wonders for the theme and aesthetic appeal of your home’s surfaces – especially window ledges or skirting boards.

Matt paint can also allow you to highlight sharp edges and contrast geometry in a way complementary to a host of different modern designs. It’s the perfect way to tie a modern aesthetic together in a subtle but noticeable way. If you want to make waves, consider a two-tone matt paint aesthetic.

Contrasting white and black or grey and cream can work wonders!

Invest In Statement Lighting

What good is a home without good statement pieces? Lighting is always paramount when showing off statement pieces, but what about making your lighting a statement piece?

There are ways to draw attention to your lighting while having the lights themselves highlight the best parts of your home. Think of it as doubling down on the style of your interiors!

A brilliant example of this is using modern glass or crystal chandeliers. These work best in stairway gaps or rooms with high ceilings.

Another great option could be to use soft LED strip lights to highlight your furniture’s edges. These strip lights work exceptionally well under counters or in console units.

Add Some Greenery

Every home could do with a few resident plants. Not only do they look lovely when they bloom, but they also carry a nice scent that’s refreshing for your living spaces.

But they also freshen the place by cleaning the air and improving the air quality inside your home.

Many folks often skip on greenery because of the maintenance involved, but some incredibly low-maintenance plants out there will look great in pretty much any home.

Some good examples are aloe vera, spider plants, succulents, and the wide, many varieties of cacti that most garden centres will stock. Take a trip down to your local centre and see what they have up for grabs.

Usually, if they can survive a garden centre or DIY store, they’ll survive your home!

Consider Subway Tiles

Our last tip for today is to consider using subway tiles. These are the glossy, wonderfully coloured tiles most common in subway stations up and down the nation. While they may not seem too stylistic in the subway, in a home, they can work wonders.

The kitchen is a prime example of a place where these kinds of ceramic tiles will look amazing. Their neat look and durability make them great for areas where moisture and heat are normal.

Getting a soft grey or an off-white like cream can elevate any kitchen area for the better. Please give it a go and see what you think!

To Conclude

There’s a lot to consider when styling a home, and many guides and opinion piece articles are worth considering. However, one thing to remember is that you’re shopping for yourself (and your family).

Always go with what you think will work for your home, regardless of what influencers say. You’re going to be the one seeing it every day!
