Home Decor Tips For Visual Creatives

If you are visually creative like me, then they way your environment looks a big deal. Visual people can absorb the mood of the room that they are in and be inspired or bored by their surroundings. So it's critical that your home looks right and suits you. Read on for some tips on how to achieve this.

Colour

The number one issue to get your environment right is the colours that you use in it. Visual people are often so in tune with the look that they are trying to create, they think they don't need to be reminded of the rules. But no matter how grand your vision is, you need to remember that you are going to have to live in that space. That is why is is much better to stick to a maximum of three colours along with a neutral tone. Any more than this and a room can start to look busy and cluttered and for someone that is primarily visual, this can be a major distraction.

Space

The next thing that a good home for visual people has is enough room. It is important that the room feel spacious and airy, and that furniture is not crammed into tiny spaces. If your home lacks the space, you need, use a company such as Million Dollar Makeovers. These companies can extend and renovate your home, giving you more space and light. This will help you to realise your vision.

Finish

Visual people are the most likely to notice poor quality finishes around the home. It is worth shelling out for the high end cupboards, handles and taps. Always go for the expensive soft furnishings too. If someone is visually minded, cheap finishes will appear so out of place to them. It's like the visual equivalent of running your fingers down a chalkboard and that isn't the most relaxing environment to be in.

Accessories and Trends

Those working in the visual arts, normally have a very good idea of the current trends and want to incorporate these into their living space. The best tip I have here is not to try and keep up with every trend you see, as you would constantly be remodelling. Pick something that you feel is representative of you and that you will be able to live with for at least a few years.

If always being ahead of the fashion is vital for your happiness, then go for a very neutral colour scheme and furniture. Then you can then dress it with each season's trending motif.

Storage

Another issue that visual people should be aware of is making sure that the structure of the house has enough storage space. If you are building your property, this is something you can address at the planning stage. But you may need to renovate an older property to ensure it meets your requirements. Clutter should never be on show, so make sure that everything has a place that it can be put away.
