Things To Remember While Choosing Décor For Your Room
- Size of the décor and its proportion with the background. Sometimes, while buying or making things, we often forget to think about how a certain size will look once it’s placed. Using big décor pieces for small rooms and vice versa can ruin the proportions and the look of the room.
- Colours can make or break the vibe of a room. Remember to consider your wall colour & the existing colours in your room while making or buying new décor pieces. Colours that don’t go together will only end up making your room look messy.
- Choose your upholstery and home textiles carefully. These will be significant pieces like your cot, curtains, armchair etc. and can’t be changed frequently. Don’t go for jarring prints and patterns instead opt for solids or textured fabrics. If you are doing a minimal room, then you can opt for one accent piece that’s quirky.
These simple tips will help you put together an aesthetic room vibe. To know about interior designing in detail, you can enrol with a professional course like the one Hamstech offers.

Inspiration Wall
Don’t we all have ideas and things we want to do in life! It doesn’t matter what profession you are in, ideas are a part of your personal life. These ideas could be as silly as trying to grow your hair in a day to a life changing one. That’s completely okay. Having an inspiration and idea wall can help you when you aren’t feeling very motivated about your life. Putting up one of these is pretty simple and you can make it look however you want it to be. So start by selecting a wall on which you would like to start hanging and sticking things. Next,start collecting pictures, magazine cutouts, 3D elements, wall hangings, bulletin boards or anything that you would want to add. Also sketch a rough layout of how you want your wall to look, when it’s done. So you can source and find things accordingly. Now that you have all that you need, start working! You don’t have to work on the whole wall, just pick a size and work within it to get started.
Reading Corner
Now everybody doesn’t enjoy reading and that’s completely alright. Reading corner isn’t exclusive to bookworms. You could use this as a hangout corner where you play some card and board games, shop online on your laptop or watch videos on your phone. Sometimes sitting on a bed all day can make you super lazy and sleepy. So why not make a hangout corner, which will become the perfect place for you to chill at home. You can actually put together a hangout corner with things that you already have at your home. Pick a cosy corner in your room, extra points if it’s beside a window! Now add a mini rug (1) and place some cushions of different shapes over it. Assemble them neatly over the rug. Move a small side table to keep your card games, chargers and stuff like that. A small round stool in the middle to keep your snacks on and finally place a plant nearby to finish this corner.
Work Station
This is a place where you can get all your work done. It’s not just for working people, this is for anybody who likes working on their own and needs a place to get in the zone. When you sit down to work, there will be many things that you’ll be needing. All interior designers these days create a workstation as a part of many of their projects. For now, you can be your own interior designer and set up one for yourself! Invest in a decent and sturdy study/work table. If it doesn’t have a lot of storage then add a drawer unit beside to store all your stationery. Arrange your workstation as per your work requirements. You could hang a whiteboard or a bulletin board to pin your to-do list, important dates and so on.
