When it comes to designing your home, whether you are on a budget or have money to spend, it is the finishing touches that will make or break your room and are what makes it special and stand out.
There are a million ways that you can add the finishing touches to your home, whether it be a wall mural in an otherwise white room or a large painting, or how you use textures and accessories to pack a punch.
When I think of what I would like to do with my own home, I always think of the quirky touches that I would like to add. In particular, pieces that you would not expect to be a feature, but really makes the room. For example, how about a contemporary radiator in a room that doubles as a statement piece?

Is it art or a integral part of the home? Those kind of interesting questions about how you can combine design and usefulness really interest me.
They say that the best things in life are free, and in your home, one way that you can utilise a free resource is through the way that you allow the light in. A skyline in a previously dark room or using the windows as your focal point. No curtains, simple design and just letting the light flood your interior, allowing the sunlight to create the light and shade in your room.
Making your home stand out and make your own personal statement and aesthetic does not have to cost the earth. It can be about the little touches that you make or alternatively larger pieces that make a larger statement.
I love the idea of a wall mural from Paris in my bedroom, or using an element that is both functional and artistic to create a talking point.
The most important thing for me about designing your home is that you put your own stamp on it. Expressing your personality through the pieces that you choose, the colour on the walls and the way in which you choose to have the room speak to the person that enters.
Are you going for cool and classic? Comfortable and snug? Anything is possible whatever your budget if you put your mind to it; above all keeping your design to what you will love. You have to live with it after all?
What design elements do you love in your home?
