Embrace the Traditional Elements
Since it’s a heritage home, there is a high likelihood of the presence of wood, stone, and other elements. Even if you don’t have these elements, something old, classy, and beautiful will be there! All you need to do is keep it intact! Incorporating these materials can add to the architectural value of your home. It happens due to the addition of intricacy and texture to your home’s design and architecture. As a result, you will have unique elements on your property, adding to its value. Besides, modernizing a heritage home is about bringing balance, which you can do easily.
Let the Art and Decor Tell the Tale
Yes, your home’s wall art and decor can do the magic! They can add to your interiors while balancing the modern and traditional design elements. Now, let us talk about what can be done here! You can add traditional elements, but there is more! For example, a gallery wall with family pictures that brings vintage elements. In addition to these, you can invest in home decor items such as art pieces with similar essence and approach.
Minimalism...For the Balance in the Decor
Minimalism has become an inseparable part of present-day modern decor. So, we are going to embrace it with the minimalist home decor. As said earlier, balance is crucial when we welcome a fusion or blend in home designs. Minimalism brings that effortlessly and easily. That’s where we will talk about complementing your home design with light, muted, and pastel tones. You also need to embrace clean lines in the home decor.
Let there be Balance in the Style and Color
Color, color on the wall, who has the most elegant element out of all? It’s you! The one following the rule of balancing the style and color. That's how you will have a harmonious and appealing space. Now, let us talk about how! Every home is different, and the one you own has to flaunt its best features. This is why you should look at the surroundings of your heritage space for inspiration to choose the ideas for the color of your wall. You can also add pops of color by investing in home decor elements.
Invest in Light-Hued Upholstery/ Furniture
Old homes are likely to have woodwork, which can add darker design hues. While these colors are attractive and have a different style to speak about, they can often make the home seem too dark. Fortunately, when redesigning your space, adding a lighter element can be an action here. And what is better than a sectional sofa set in white to do that? You can pair it well with other light-hued upholstery. Curtains, cushions, and other elements can do wonders!
Keep the Place Collected
When talking about home decor, what does ‘collected’ refer to? It means bringing the blend of old and new to offer an element that speaks a tale of you. As said earlier, you must bring a balance while keeping the place collected, too. Let us give you an example! For example, your home has a wooden staircase. Something so aesthetic, so pleasing! To amplify it, you can add a stunning metallic table in the nearest corner with some design elements. How about turning it into a reading nook? You can add a wooden bookshelf, too.
Upgrade the Bathroom
Yes, the bathroom needs an upgrade, too! So that it can go well with the overall aesthetics. Now, while upgrading that, make it a standout part of your home. You can do this by adding some sleek and modern light fixtures. Similarly, you can add some metallic accents through door knobs and other elements. It can help turn your home into a luxurious and stylish space. Let us not forget that metallic accents can reflect light and turn the space bright. Oh, wait! Did we remind you about an aesthetically appealing mirror? You have got to add that to your design goals!
