Modern home décor tips to transform your home

Posted on: Wednesday, November 1, 2023


Modern homes are some of the most sought-after on the market. If your home exemplifies a contemporary lifestyle, it’s likely to attract the next generation of buyers. Well-placed décor can amplify your home into the current era and beyond, here’s how: 

 

Create harmony 

Today’s most popular interior design trends focus on creating a harmonious living space. When you think of minimalism, for example, you might also think of symmetry and balance. This creates a soothing optical effect due to the lack of chaos. To create this modern look through colour, opt for a neutral and cohesive colour scheme. 

 

Implement smart tech 

Technology is becoming more intertwined with our everyday lives than ever before. Implementing smart technology in your home can revolutionise your living space, bringing modernity and convenience to every corner. With smart devices like thermostats, lighting systems, and security cameras, you can effortlessly control your home's environment and security remotely using your smartphone or voice commands. These technologies not only enhance your comfort but also save energy and reduce utility costs.  

 

Add art to your space 

An easy way to modernise your space is to hang some contemporary art. If you’re seeking a transformative effect, opt for a bold street art print and hang it centrally to create an impactful statement. If you prefer softer accents, decorating with monochromatic, abstract art is a great way to complement your colour scheme and break up patterns, without drawing attention away from the room design.

 

Use lighting as décor 

Lighting is a powerful decorating tool in the home. You can make a room appear more spacious, glossy, and completely renewed with a cohesive lighting scheme consisting of layers of different types of lighting. Whether it's ambient, task, or accent lighting, a thoughtfully designed lighting plan can completely redefine the look and feel of your living spaces. Smart lighting systems, with their adjustable brightness and colour options, allow you to customise the ambience according to your preferences and activities. For instance, you can set the mood for a cosy movie night or energise the room for a productive work session with just a tap on your smartphone.  

 

Create an ergonomic home office 

Workspaces in the home are becoming more and more common, and this is because they’re in higher demand than ever before. Since working patterns dramatically shifted in the UK, having a home office is an integral part of what has been referred to as ‘the new normal’ since the very first lockdown. You can create an ergonomic and soothing workspace in your home with a spacious desk, potted plants, and some handy shelving units for style and function.  

 

Install a skylight 

A skylight can be a transformative addition to your home. Beyond its functional benefits, such as enhancing natural lighting and ventilation, a skylight can bring a fresh, contemporary aesthetic to your living space. By allowing an abundance of sunlight to flood your rooms, it creates an inviting and open atmosphere, making your home feel more spacious and vibrant.

I would highly recommend Hardings Estate Agents. They have excellent knowledge of Windsor and the surrounding areas, and are extremely professional, responsive and courteous. I would not hesitate to using them again the future. I recently dealt with Milica who was instrumental in securing us our new home in Windsor as well as the sale of our existing property. She was a fab negotiator and a real pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Thank you!

Hardings of Windsor managed our purchase with complete professionalism and went over and above in my opinion to manage the transaction and chain, resulting in a really smooth purchase. Milica at Hardings constantly provided timely updates and managed respective solicitors and the chain effectively, always responding quickly to queries. The whole transaction would not have happened without Milicas' focus on making all parties comfortable and satisfying all queries, not only professional but a delightful and welcoming personal approach that was a constant throughout. Thanks Hardings! Thanks Milica!

I would recommend using Hardings estate agents when buying or selling your property. Dominic (Scully) was always available, helpful and genuinely interested in my purchase and always calm and compassionate. If I ever move again my first choice will be Hardings.

Dom and the team at Hardings were so helpful and efficient when I purchased my flat - friendly and professional service and kept us up-to-date the whole way through the process. It was my first time buying and so was very nervous but they helped me feel at ease.

We recently purchased our new home with Hardings Estate Agents. The whole team there were very helpful and flexible with us, arranging viewings quickly on the same day. They were always quick to respond and if ever our point of contact was not there, the service did not change as they work well together as a team. We received a personalised service, which allowed the sale to proceed quickly. Thank you all and we recommend Hardings Estate Agents without hesitation.

What a pleasure it was to deal with Milica from Hardings. She sourced the perfect property for me and my family (while we were still abroad) and worked endlessly to put the deal together. I would give more than 5 stars if at all possible!
