Textured walls give a room great character and can become the feature piece of the space.
FEATURE WALLS How we
treat our walls
can also open up a whole new dimension to how we experience a space. Consider looking into the use of textures as a design element rather than colours. So instead of painting your next wall, you may either leave the wall bare or install face bricks to create an uneven textured brick wall. Tis creates a solid backdrop to any space and when you hang anything, it then creates a framed effect to further enhance the prominence of the feature piece.
Another great technique to
treat walls is to introduce timber panelling across the entire room. While there will be some costs incurred for carpentry work, the benefits may prove to be worthwhile. The use of timber panels helps create a sophisticated appearance for the space, but more than just the aesthetic image you want to portray, the panels allow a means for the internal wiring works to be hidden, thereby letting one rewire the home without having to incur further costs from additional hacking and patching up works.
Timber panelling is a good way to conceal wires, allowing one to re-wire the home at a later stage without running up huge hacking costs.
Rugs are a cost-effective way to change things up when it comes to flooring.
FANCY FLOORS Working on the floor may prove one of the most costly exercises in any renovation. Before we move down this path, consider the different ways to enhance the flooring. Te most basic is the use of rugs, which create a movable base for any furniture setting. However, the selection of rugs should be in line with the colour scheme of the room. Always try to select a rug that creates a contrast to the room colours; so if you have a white-washed wall, consider a primary-colour rug, and likewise for coloured walls, use a neutral coloured rug. Tis creates the contrast colour effect within the room to allow the furniture to set in nicely.
