How To Capture A Themed Look For Your Interior Design
Whether you’ve just moved into your new home or you’re bored of staring at the same beige-coloured wall every day, incorporating a theme into your interior design can inject some life back into your house. Themes in particular work perfectly to create an effortless yet effective look, tying every room together and giving your home a contemporary flow. Capturing a themed look for your interior design is all about consistency – with your colours and materials making appearances across all of your rooms. For our expert advice on how to achieve this, carry on reading below!
Repeat The Type Of Wood
One of the best places to start is ensuring that the type of wood that you select runs throughout the entirety of your home. From teak to oak, and pine to mahogany, you really are spoilt for choice, and while the texture of woods may appear similar, you’d be surprised at the difference that they can make! Firstly, why not start with your doors? Considering that doors are the gateway that leads from room to room, they’ll be the statement piece that connects the theme of each room together.
If you decide to opt for a modern theme, our contemporary doors would work perfectly for a current, on-trend look. Or, alternatively, our Victorian style doors are timeless, and fit seamlessly into historical themes. Once you’ve decided on your choice of interior door, you can then continue to match the type of wood to other furniture items, such as cabinets and wardrobes.
Keep Reusing The Same Pop Of Colour
An interior design theme that’s very popular at the moment is injecting a pop of colour into a very monochrome theme, which works perfectly to create contrast between colours. By opting for a simple, monochrome base, you’re able to create a relaxing, calming environment, however with an accent colour of your choice, you can still keep the interior design exciting and stylish. While accent colours can make quite the statement for interior design themes, they’re actually really simple to incorporate throughout your home, with kitchen appliances, cushions and vases posing as the perfect opportunity to use a pop of colour.
Plan Your Materials Carefully
After colour comes texture, and in the same way as you would with your choice of wood and colour, the materials need to seamlessly blend into your chosen interior design theme. When selecting a material for your theme however, you need to do so with careful consideration. Wood and colour can be universally used throughout your home, whereas certain materials in specific rooms would be impractical. Take marble for example – not only is this material massively on-trend at the moment, but it also works perfectly in all rooms across the house, making the perfect worktop for the kitchen, but also the perfect shelf in the living room.
Current Popular Interior Themes
Now that you know how to create an interior design theme for your house, you might still be lacking inspiration on what theme to opt for. While creating a mood board is a perfect way to draw up all of your theme ideas, we have a couple of examples here that are very contemporary for interior design at the moment.
Firstly, a natural history theme is being used in homes all across the globe currently, incorporating distressed, retro-style wood for the flooring and doors, as well as encompassing several insect motifs and botanical prints to bring each element together. Understandably, this theme is a little too bespoke for some people, so the birds and blooms might be a better alternative. Perfect for those wanting to inject femininity into their interior design theme, this is all about using floral and bird prints across the home, in photos, bedding and cushions, which works perfectly in both traditional and contemporary homes!
Capturing a themed look isn’t as difficult as it may seem at the beginning. While the planning process can take quite a long time to perfect, once you have your overriding ideas in mind, you can begin capturing a themed look for your interior design and creating a home that you’re finally happy with.
