Quick & Easy Home Decorating Tips

As a company aimed at designing fashionable and flattering swimwear for women, we’re often drawn to design. Fabrics, patterns, style trends — we love it all. Everyday life serves as the ultimate design backdrop; from brick patterns on an old school building to the swirl of color in the center of a flower. Design is everywhere!

Easy Home Decorating Tips

At Hapari, we appreciate good home design as it seems a natural transition from swimwear design. And so, we’re highlighting our favorite design tips. Use these easy home decorating tips to spruce up your home and bring the wonderful world of design into your space. As the well-known adage goes, “Live with what you love!”

PATTERN

One of the most important decorating tips is variety. Like life, oneness and sameness is boring. It can be perceived as bland and unimaginative. Try adding unique and unexpected patterns to your space. Patterns that typically clash like polka dots and stripes can be bold and daring. Afraid of change? Try different patterns in small steps at first. Maybe add an awesome printed candle or throw pillow.

COLOR

It’s also important to establish a color palette for the space. It’s always nice to pick complementary colors; however, there are exceptions to the rule. Sometimes colors typically considered ‘contrasting’ like Red, Blue and Yellow look great in a space. However you decide to set your color space, try to not be too matchy-matchy. A pop of an unexpected color can instantly bring life to a room.

TEXTURE

Adding layers of texture to a room makes it more interesting. Texture can be used to create visual focal points or to add dimension and depth to the space. A fluffy throw, a ribbed book, stripped tree branches, can all be used to create a mixture of differing textures in the same space. A lot of ‘texture’ inspiration can be derived from nature - take a look outside and notice all the differing textures. What inspiration can you bring inside to add a pop of texture?

The next time you’re thinking of decorating or redecorating a space. Remember these three easy ideas - Pattern, Color, Texture - to add dimension, variety and life to your space!
