This is why, from time to time, we get the urge to change things up a bit. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! We all have ideas of what the ideal space would look like- it would be stylish and comfortable, and of course, unique. 

But where does one start? It’s a given that you might want to get a couple of new furniture pieces for different rooms, and at the same time you don’t want to be spending too much on it either, there are affordable options that you can find at Big Save Furniture that will allow to have money left over to get to the rest of the designing. It’s always smart to get down to a bit of research to find good deals before you commit to buying anything for your dream design. It doesn’t have to be difficult or trying, because we’re going to guide you using 8 design ideas that are bound to hit the spot!

1. The Illusion Of Space

Unless you’re planning to move to a new house or apartment, there isn’t much you can do about the space you have in terms of measurement. What you can do, however, is give off the illusion of space, and you’ll be amazed at how effective some of these little tricks can be. By strategically placing mirrors in your home, you give off the illusion that a room is much more spacious than it actually is. This is especially effective in corridors and in the living room, as well as in the bathroom. Another trick you can use is to not hang the curtains where the windows begin, rather, hang them from the ceiling so that they seem much longer and by doing this, the room appears to have much more height than it actually does. 

2. Murals

Murals are amazing. You can get as creative as you like with these, and place them anywhere in your home. They make a statement and it’s like having an extraordinary life sized work of art. Has it taken up a whole wall and you’ll see how beautiful and unique it will be. This is a statement piece, so whichever room you decide to put the mural in, make sure that the surrounding furniture and decor is minimal and that the colors are solid so that there isn’t too much going on in the room and so that nothing clashes. You can even have a glow in the dark mural for the kids bedroom, which only comes to life once the lights are turned off. In the bathroom, for instance, you can have a mosaic mural made. The possibilities are endless. 

3. Window Seat

Having a spot where you can zone out and relax is the things that dreams are made of. Window seats are made in a way that they are placed directly under a window, and you can even surround this makeshift seat with bookshelves so that it’s isolated from the rest of the room in a way. 

4. Indoor Gardens

Just because you live in an apartment or don’t have a garden in your home- or even if you do! - doesn’t mean that you can’t have one indoors as well. This design idea gives a whole new dimension to any kind of home. It adds a touch of nature and the greenery is soothing as well as inviting. You can have a wall dedicated to a vertical garden that can hold a variety of pots and plants without taking up any extra space in your home. You can also use a clothes rack and instead of hanging clothes, hang some plants on it! It looks unique and very attractive as well. 

5. New Floorings

Making changes to your flooring completely transforms a room. There are so many different materials available on the market now that make it extremely easy to change your flooring to your liking. And to add that extra touch, look into different kinds of rugs and carpets as well, they can actually completely change the feel and character of any room, and it doesn’t even have to be limited, you can even do this with the kitchen as well. 

6. Paint The Ceilings

If your house or apartment has low ceilings, don’t fret! All you need to do is paint the ceilings a darker color and you’ll be amazed at how much more spacious the room will seem just by doing this little trick.

7. Classy Storage

Clutter is a killer in any home, and sometimes it’s really difficult to design a space efficiently if you have too many things and don’t have enough space to keep it in. The good news is that there are plenty of innovative ideas that you can use that will not only put the clutter away, but add a classy touch to your home. If you have a staircase, you can have it altered in a way that allowed each step to double as a drawer where you can store anything from clothes to toys. You can also use the bottom of the stairs to create a space for shelving things like display items or books. 

8. Kitchen Backsplash

The kitchen is often overlooked when it comes to redesigning and makeovers, but there is an effective but simple way to add a unique touch to any kitchen. Using kitchen backsplashes are not only a ton of fun in terms of creativity, but they can also make a statement. You can actually have a custom made backsplash, or even better- you can do it yourself! Get pieces of old ceramic and create something that only you can come up with.

We are all guilty of dreaming of the perfect home with the perfect design, and it doesn’t have to stay a dream forever, even if you already own a home. There are plenty of tips and tricks that you can implement that can make a big change in your home's appearance and also give you the design and effect that you have always dreamed of.
