MANY homeowners are unknowingly making a mistake that ages their property, according to an interior designer. She shared her must-try tips for a living space oozing warmth and luxury. Molly Woodward-Moor is an interior designer and creative director at Stone Superstore , a UK-based company specializing in home improvement supplies.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she revealed the secret to making homes look expensive.
Woodward-Moor warned against embracing cheap or fad decor such as monotone colors. “Decor items that are overly trendy can quickly go out of style, which can make your home look dated faster,” she said. “Overusing a single material or color throughout your home can also make it feel monotonous and uninspired.
“Mixing materials and incorporating a balanced color palette adds depth and interest to your space.” She said “all beige” is currently a popular interior trend but should be combined with accents of brass, rich wood, and vibrant greenery for a warm space. “Faux plants can make a room look cheap if they are low quality as they can detract from the overall aesthetic of a room,” she said.
She said it’s best to opt for a mix of real and faux plants to create a “dynamic” ambiance. Having the right plants is equally important outdoors. “Many people forget that the exterior of your home sets the tone for what is inside,” she said.
“Neglecting the front yard, entryway, or exterior maintenance can make even a well-decorated interior feel less.
