After moving into a new house or condo, it’s time to unpack and possibly decorate your home. Though this may sound daunting, you can get technology to assist you in this regard. Here are five tips so your new One Marina Gardens condo will look fabulous when inviting guests to a housewarming party.
Find Inspiration Online
The internet is a veritable resource of all things, including interior design. Platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest can point you in the right direction when it comes to color combinations or what works best in a tight space.
Choose a Theme
Home design apps are available in app or game form, and you can play until you find the right one for your home without spending a dime. Picking a theme is more difficult than you’d think unless you already have a preset design in mind, e.g., minimalist or contemporary.
Visualize the Space Using AR
In the same vein as using an app to choose the best design theme, you can play around with augmented reality before lifting a finger. For instance, would that couch be good in that far corner, or should it rest somewhere in the middle? What would your WFH setup be like when you put them near the balcony?
Don’t Forget Automation
Automation, in this regard, is setting up the Internet of Things and smart appliances you need. A smart display, lights, and thermostat are basic necessities of a connected home, and you can invest in appliances such as a smart oven or even a smart fridge as you go.
Finish Off With Mood and Ambient Lighting
What’s interior design without the right lighting? Mood lighting creates a cozier home, while ambient lights make it easier to work, read, and relax by helping reduce eye strain. Thankfully, you can set up ambient and mood lighting without breaking the bank. Buy smart lights and replace your bulbs, then install the app and control them remotely.
