After recently purchasing a home, such as one of the beautiful homes for sale in Agincourt, Toronto, one of the first and most exciting things to do is start designing and decorating your space. 

With a clean and blank interior design canvas, you have ample opportunity to explore new trends, new styles and maybe even step out of your comfort zone. In most cases, you’ll still be equipped with your existing furniture and décor, but that doesn’t mean you have to feel boxed-in when it comes to your home design. Here are a few tips for recreating your new space.

Pick a Colour Scheme

Picking a colour palette for each room of your new home will be a lifesaver and help you to stop second guessing every purchase you make. Take a look at what you already have to work with, in terms of furniture and décor, and see what colours are prominent in your home. 

Using what you have and drawing on those colours to bring flow and unity to a room can make everything look put-together and sleek. You could try to use different colours and tones in each room – warmer tones for a cosy bedroom and cooler tones in your living space for a fresh feeling. If most of your furniture is neutral, this is your opportunity to choose some now bold colours to bring into your life!

Embrace Wall Art

New homes tend to feel cold, empty, and well… A little lifeless at times. Bring some energy into your new space by hanging some art, paintings, or photographs on your walls. Adding sparks of your personal life and style to a room will not only add intrigue but make it feel more like home too. 

Cluster Your Décor 

Trinkets scattered across every shelf, table and counter in your home isn’t a good look. Displaying your décor pieces, memorabilia and other odds and ends is a great way to style your home and make it your own, but it’s important to avoid cluttering your space.

Creating a balance between items of different heights is a great way to bring balance to different spaces in your room. Cluster items like vases, books, baskets, candles coasters and other small accessories in little groups of different heights in various spaces. Try out a group on your coffee table, a group next to the television, a group on the shelf, and so on. This will create focal areas of style in your room. 

Mix and Match

Just because you’re in a new space doesn’t mean you have to start from scratch and trying out new styles doesn’t mean you need to toss everything and start over, either! Working with what you already have and mixing and matching styles can actually look amazing.

A sleek and modern sofa paired with a more vintage style coffee table makes an interesting pairing, and combining bold pieces with more subtle décor can bring amazing balance to a room
