Dive into the world of Nikki Levy Interiors with these snappy, fun-filled tips, each distilled from our real projects and Instagram gems. Here’s how we keep interiors fabulous and functional without missing a beat (or a joke):
Tip 1: Mix, Don’t Match Who says your chairs need to be twins? Mixing styles can bring personality and surprise to any room. It’s like a good party mix—something for everyone!
Tip 2: Pillows: The More, the Merrier Pillows are the shoes of your sofa. Can you ever have too many? We think not. Swap them out seasonally, or whenever you need a splash of new color.
Tip 3: Go Bold with Ceilings Don’t forget the fifth wall! A bold ceiling color or wallpaper can transform a room from the top down. It’s the upper crust of interior design. To totally change up your space with only 1 element – the ceiling is the winner.
Tip 4: Light It Up Good lighting is everything. It’s like Photoshop for your home. Layer different sources to give your space the best glow-up. Get floor lamps, plug in sconces or even mini-LED spot lights to hide in planters to make the vibe….well…vibe.
Tip 5: Rugs: Bigger Is Better A small rug can make a room feel smaller, but a big rug? Now you’re in the major leagues. Ensure it’s big enough to tuck under furniture pieces to tie the room together. Toss that old rug snd pop in a new one and your room immediately feels fresher.
Tip 6: Embrace the Eclectic Your home should be a collection of what you love. An eclectic style tells your story—each piece a chapter. Look in your closet, have a purse, scarf or even necklace that you love, throw it into a frame, and you got art that means something to you!
Tip 7: Wall Art at Eye Level Hang art at eye level for maximum impact. Yes, even if you’re tall. It’s the gallery approach to personal spaces. Consider moving your art around, reframing or reposition it. It will make a BIG difference!
Tip 8: Reflect with Mirrors Mirrors aren’t just for checking your outfit—they make spaces feel larger and lighter. Place them opposite windows to double down on natural light. A mirror well positioned is like a window! Don’t forget to layer it with a stool in front, table, or even a coat rack, it will be a fantastic story!
Tip 9: Storage Can Be Stylish Functional can be fun! Think ottomans with storage, chic shelving units, and baskets that add style while hiding clutter. Put that clutter away. That will make the process 80% easier!
Tip 10: Keep It Cozy Comfort is king. Layer soft throws, use plush textures, and create nooks that invite people to relax and stay awhile. You want to feel comfortable and content in your home. Cold and lack of charm is great for a museum, but not for you!
Tip 11: Don’t Rush The best spaces evolve. Give yourself permission to take time finding the perfect piece. It’s like dating—you’ll know when it’s the right one. Don’t be afraid to bring things home and “try them on”, sometimes that’s all you need to make a decision!
