It’s no secret that the interiors featured in magazines are always dreamy. We often find ourselves swooning over beautiful décor styles and interior set ups, presented across those glossy pages and just thinking ‘how can my home look like that?’. Well, whilst it may not be practical to transform your whole kitchen, there are certain decorating tips that you can try to bring your home into the limelight and create a magazine-worthy look.

Chic Light Switches

It’s time to get rid of those bland, colourless plastic light switches and swap them for a much shinier, more attractive alternative. Having a stylish light switch helps to bring character to the room in ways you wouldn’t expect. It’s amazing how much of a difference swapping those plastic features for brushed metal can make and with so many designs available you can really add a unique touch to your home. Take a look at online retailer Buster & Punch for some inspiration on which toggle switches would look good in your home, with a range of different colours and finishes to choose from.

Chevron Flooring

As a trend that’s taken the interior world by storm, chevron flooring has become more and more popular within the everyday home. Not only does this unique feature bring character to the home, but it helps to enhance the overall décor and create a whole new look from a simply flooring change. Wooden flooring is a great option for a warm and inviting feel and with the chevron style it helps to create a really welcoming feel, making the perfect finishing touch to any room. From the hallway to the kitchen you can introduce chevron flooring and instantly notice the magazine-worthy feel coming through.

Picturesque Panelling

Many homes are now experimenting with the addition of panelling in the home. Having a feature wall with floor to ceiling panelling, or working with a half and half effect, you can transform a room instantly and create a really rich, elegant feel. Panelling helps to dress a room and bring character without having to take away from the overall décor of the room. One of the many benefits of panelling is that you can do it yourself, with the right tools. Looking beautiful in any room, you can bring panelling into the overall look and enhance the aesthetic straight away.

Velvet Additions

Whilst many people may think of velvets and instantly be put off with the thought of introducing them into the home, there are some stunning furniture pieces that feature velvet and bring a gorgeous feel to the home. Velvet is a fabric that has become more and more popular over the last few years, making its way into curtain and blind design, soft furnishings and more. Whether you’re working with a deep, rich colour palette with greens and purples, or you’re embracing a brighter, fresh aesthetic with pinks and creams, you can find some amazing velvet furniture pieces, as often seen in magazines, to bring your home to life and inject that magazine-worthy feel.
