There is plenty of inspiration you can choose from to give your home a new look. Here are some designs you can pick.
1) Scandinavian Design
Are you aiming for a Nordic-inspired look? This design looks after functionality and aesthetics married together. Scandinavian designs are simple, clean, functional, and make use of natural elements. Choose a unique light fixture that stands out. If your rooms are painted with white paint, you can use some accent chairs with bright colours to break the colour monotony. Go with a wood flooring and throw in some earth-tone-coloured carpet. A patterned rug is also an option. Accentuate the walls with simple and light-coloured frames. If you have a small room to work with, a huge window bringing all that natural light will make the space look lively and bigger.

5) Minimalist Style
Ever heard of Marie Kondo? She's a Japanese organizing consultant who provides tips on tidying up. If you want to achieve a minimalist interior for your space, it is time to set aside the things that no longer spark joy as Marie Kondo would say. Minimalist interior looks into how each piece of your home provides its basic function while maintaining that Zen ambience. It's basically about the things that you just need within that space and nothing more. To achieve that minimalist look, you have to remove all the clutter around and decide which items should stay.

6) Industrial Space
With this kind of look, one must know how to make use of those pipes or beams in your house. These are common in apartment-type buildings where the design is a combination between functionality, roughness, rawness which gives the space its unique character. Accessorize your living area with some upcycled or worn-out tables and chairs. This is also called the warehouse look where the use of scraped wood elements, bricks, metals, and other salvaged materials are the main highlights of the space.
