Innovative and Stylish Tips to Dress Up Your Windows

April 15, 2018 by MyStyleSpot 4 Comments

Windows have many meanings in our lives. They bring the light into your home, offer you comfort during the rainy days and make you feel hidden from the world when you want to. Although windows are usually perceived as functional parts of the design, modern times brought new trends for these home features.

“It all begins with the client’s intended use of the room,” says designer Ann Lowengart. “That helps to determine how much privacy they’re looking for, the amount of natural light they want, or if the treatments will be simply for decorative use.”

Aesthetic is also a very important part of window decoration and style. You have to fit it all in the overall décor without hindering the other elements in your interior design. In addition, these innovative and stylish tips will help you do it flawlessly.

A classic that never goes out of style

Curtains are the most common decorative items we use for the windows. Although, after all this time, one would expect that this trend left the interior design scene, it actually evolved. Now, there are so many types of curtains that every home can have one and still look great. [Read more…]

Can You Sell a Home in Need of Repair?

March 27, 2018 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

Selling a home can be stressful enough, but what if the property you want to part with requires potentially serious repairs? Will you need to spend large sums of money on improvements in order to attract a buyer? Are there any alternatives to marketing your home through a traditional realtor?

Keep reading for some useful tips that could help ensure you know what to do if you’re attempting to sell a property that needs fixing up.

Do the math

Your first step should be to do some careful calculations. If you have the financial resources to make repairs and you calculate that doing so would increase the value of your property by more than the money you spend doing the work, this could be your best option. Before making any repairs though, work out how much they will cost you and whether you will recoup more than this amount through the sale price of your home. If you’ll only break even or potentially even make a loss, the chances are it’s not worth investing in the improvements.

If it makes financial sense, approach a cash buyer [Read more…]

5 Ways of Achieving Peace at Home through Minimalist Design

March 23, 2018 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

Even though the minimalist design is often considered “boring”, the truth is that it has a lot to offer, and not just in terms of appearance. It can make your home look more modern, but it can also make it seem more peaceful and comfortable. It’s also known for valuing quality over quantity; this allows you to have fewer items, which emphasises the function of every room. If this style sounds interesting to you and you would like to have it in your home, here are a couple of ideas that can show you how to achieve peace in your home through this unique design.

Think about the colours

When it comes to the colours, try to keep things simple. Don’t mix too many different colours as that can only create chaos, and not just on your walls but in your head as well. Neutral shades and pastels are perfect for achieving inner peace, and they will enhance the nature of minimalist design. You should also add a couple of cushions, rugs, or throws in matching or complementing colours for a more comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

Don’t forget textures and patterns [Read more…]

When It Comes To Home, Outer Beauty Counts, Too

March 19, 2018 by MyStyleSpot Leave a Comment

We could talk about interiors all day. We can go through, room-by-room, looking at remodeling trends, how to make the home more comfortable, creating more better living spaces, and so on. But the interior isn’t the only part of the home. Whether it’s to improve value with some curb appeal, to make it more welcoming, or simply to give you a sense of pride in the home, the exterior matters just as much as the interior. Here, we’re going to look at how you give your house the outer-beauty to match the inner.

Add a dash of color

First of all, let’s talk about the simple maintenance you can do to your home. For the walls and windows, an occasional once-over with a power washer can clear even years’ worth of old dirt and grime. You should endeavor to take as much care of your patio, porch, or front step leading to the home, as well. But if you’re looking for a simple way to update the home’s look and make it seem fresh and new, then a new coat of paint can do wonders. Just be careful choosing colors if you’re part of a homeowner’s association, there may be some rules on how “out there” you can go.

Give it a new look

If you are hoping to update the aesthetic of the interior and you’re not as limited by things like a homeowner’s association, then you can also go a lot further than just a new lick of paint. Just like your interior walls, you can attach new materials across the entire of the exterior if you’re not as fond as the bare wall approach. Exterior cladding has become a lot more popular in modern architecture as of late. It can entirely transform the first impression of the home, but it can also improve the insulation of a home and offer a little more protection to the brickwork beneath it.

Còsagach: A Scottish Home Trend You Will Adore

February 21, 2018 by MyStyleSpot 3 Comments

With each new year, we are waiting to see what the world’s trendsetters have in store for us. It is safe to say that you can slowly step away from Hygge and embrace a different type of comfort. This year has us focused on the comfort of warm simplicity brought to us by Scottish Cosagach. The term describes the snug feeling within the comfort of your home. It is worth looking into it as Scottish people have spent hundreds of years putting up with harsh weather and are managing to stay positive.

Start with the warmth

Every décor trend teaches us the importance of light within one’s home. While of course, you have to incorporate some light, this year, continue using candles but focus on a fireplace. The fireplace will provide heat throughout the day and a charming light and crackling in the evening. There is no other similar type of warmth. [Read more…]
