Minimalism is the new trend. We all need more space to breathe and relax. We want spaces that don’t feel cluttered and overly done but rather classic and contemporary. We aim to design a more spacious house with some of the finest gadgets and timeless aesthetics. In homes like this, statement pieces can re-create and redefine an entire space, making your home a memorable one. Statement pieces are unique elements that stand out in large spaces and do not require additional elements to accentuate their look; they speak for themselves, making a lasting impression. They are self-sufficient pieces that could highlight a corner. Let’s dive deep to understand and see what place in our homes we can redefine to give it a new look.
Classic Center Tables: These are your coffee tables or center tables, usually placed between couches to offer snacks to guests. While these are simplistic glass tables at home, they could become statement pieces if their shape and size are unique and modified. How about a center table with a marble mermaid or a figurine below or a chessboard table? If you’re someone who enjoys a lot of handwork, a glass or marble center table with an interesting design could surely be your statement piece.
Wall Gardens: This is an exciting concept, and the best part is that you don’t have to put in any effort if you’re looking at non-real and artificial plants. If there is a corner in your house where you would like to have coffee, a walled garden with real or artificial plants could be a great option. Do not forget that gardens require a lot of work, and they could also spoil the wall behind, so choose your option very wisely.
Grand Size Installations: Interesting installations in varied corners could add an Oomph factor to the entire room or the corner. These could be life-size installations. Some individuals prefer to keep inscriptions of holy gods and goddesses. Others opt for Feng Shui installations, while some also prefer modern art pieces that lack a specific definition. Others prefer animals like a galloping horse, a leopard, or even a huge lion face. Select something that speaks about your personality. When one has an installation at home, one should try to break the colors of the room. If most of the furniture in the room is in shades of brown, having an installation in a contrasting color, such as gold, mustard, or a light shade, could break the pattern, drawing the eye directly to it.
Modular and multipurpose furniture: With technology taking over, home decor these days offers creative installation pieces that can be both beautiful and functional. We all have seen the dice-shaped stools. Similarly, car-shaped beds are readily available for bedroom decor, especially for kids. Another option is to have a puzzle piece table, which can serve as an interactive space while you wait for your meal. Drum-shaped side tables for your evening coffees could be an ethnic mix. Bookshelf shaped like a tree or even a cactus coat rack. These examples are furniture pieces that are already created and available for purchase. Still, they can be curated and personalized to suit your style and comfort. While some prefer a brand, others may like to have a tree of life in their living room, with chairs underneath right in the corner of the room, to create an art effect and also provide a cozy space.
Family portraits and paintings: Who does not love a picture of their family at home? We all capture moments so we can showcase them, and when we glance at them, we remember the wonderful years. Family portraits and paintings never go out of style, but the new style and age provide you with many forms in which to display your paintings. While some prefer the traditional canvas style, others would like to have a 3-D effect in their paintings. These days, many artists create a genuine effect using a variety of art materials. They can also add a unique vibe with real flowers from a wedding, a ring, or perhaps a necklace or an essential piece of jewelry. Using raisin art, they could imposter it and make it a part of the painting, creating a memory for a lifetime and a story for a living room conversation. Additionally, having digital frames that can display changing pictures is another option.
To conclude, it’s fine not to copy any style but instead to create your own. These are just a few things you can add to create more life in your spaces. You could come up with great ideas to add a vibe.
