Una decoración interior armoniosa: las 5 reglas principales

We love green, red, purple or black... We all want to decorate our living room in our favorite colors. Social networks, or magazines, also offer us a multitude of sources of trendy inspirations.

So one day, we go to our favorite DIY store and we dare OUR colors!

But beware, it doesn't always work!

A bad combination of tones, an awkward contrast and it's total confusion: hours and money wasted for a disappointing result.

My New Design helps you avoid disasters in 5 main principles of decoration.

1 – No more than 2 colors on your walls 

Do you like Italy, do you want to feel this atmosphere in your living space? The ochres harmonies: OK, the 3 colors of the Italian flags: NO.

Indeed, 3 different colors (or more) on your walls and you will lose all coherence, plunging the room into an imprecise or even unpleasant atmosphere.

Then favor the mixture of 2 harmonious colors: For example a creamy white and a slightly pronounced taupe to give a warm atmosphere, a bright white and a "Baltic" blue to give a seaside spirit.

Opt for shades in monochrome, play on tones: A light color associated with the same darker color.

The furniture will bring depth to this harmonious base. We offer you a catalog of designer relax armchairs with a multitude of colors and materials that will perfectly match your decoration choices.

2 – Copy-paste

A stroll through a furniture or DIY store, and you are won over by the staging of living room No. 4 and the recessed spotlights reference 1432.

The mistake is to copy and paste this trendy and selling decoration  which will be obsolete the following year, forgetting your own personality. You risk finding yourself with a more or less exact copy of a universe that does not belong to you, without life, and that you will find in many other people.

Trust yourself! Create your universe, obviously respecting certain rules, but drawing inspiration only from yourself.

The key word: Be at home.

Our DESIGN relaxation armchairs  with footrest will bring this unique touch to your decoration.

3 – The mix of styles

The mixture of styles, "Mix and Match" has been a trend for a few years. But beware, this must be done with taste.

Many materials and colors come together perfectly, the whole thing being to respect a certain balance, so as not to fall into kitsch.

Try to keep a certain consistency in the style you want to give to your interior.

In order to avoid feeling like you are in a garage sale, define a guideline in particular decorative style, it is this that will serve as a guideline for the rest, you will then obtain a harmonious result.

4 – Too many objects

Sentimental, nostalgic… You still keep in a corner of your living room your pouffe bought in 1997 and which followed all your moves.

You don't even realize its presence, like a whole bunch of other objects, trophies, trinkets placed here and there in your living room.

This display, in addition to not making it easier for you to clean, clutters the view and space and does not bring any coherent decoration to your home.

So, if you value some of these objects, keep only those that are most in harmony with your decor, and store the rest in the attic, nothing will prevent you from finding them later.

As with your wardrobe, learn to separate yourself from furniture or objects that you no longer look at, or that you do not use, to save space, light, and refresh your interior.

5 – The false

The brick-effect wallpaper, the PVC cement tiles that peel off, the resin stone walls adorned with silicone joints…

A trompe-l'oeil that does not deceive the eye guarantees you a failed decoration.

Unless you come across the perfect illusion, which is quite rare, prefer simple coatings, quality paints or real materials.

At My New Design, we adopt this philosophy: real leather, real wood, oak, quality fabrics, for all of our relax armchairss.

In conclusion, to avoid missteps in decoration, know how to harmonize, do not overload, do not make your interior a showcase and bring your personality to it, make your interior lively and bright and be inspired without being a slave to trends.
