If you're a member of the Facebook group Home Buddies, you'll know that this amicable dispute has been going on for a while! It's a fight to see who has the best aesthetic: #TeamKahoy (Wood) or #TeamPuti (White). These two looks are diametrically opposed: one is more polished and minimalist, while the other is more rustic and inviting.
Team Kahoy is a term used to describe those who prefer a more rustic look with gorgeous wooden items and accents. Meanwhile, Team Puti caters to individuals who prefer to keep things simple, clean, and attractive.
For some, it fulfilled their unmet desire of becoming a house designer, but for the most, it was a coping strategy that allowed them to reclaim their space while keeping them occupied and safe at home. Our Kapitbahays have compiled the most sulit and practical home design tips and hacks, no matter which side you're on!
TIP # 1: DECLUTTER!
Consider what you should get rid of before you start worrying about what you can and cannot afford to buy. Items that are out of date, worn, or damaged may be detracting from the appearance of your home, and removing them if they aren't necessary might offer your home a fresh start. Vertical blinds are one of the worst offenders in rental apartments. You've also got those college posters you've been hoarding.
TIP # 2: Adhesive wallpapers can be used to repurpose and refurbish your objects.
This is one of the favorite hacks because it's the cheapest and easiest DIY they've ever done. Adhesive wallpaper can be used to repurpose old furniture, small objects (such as plastic bottles and jars), or as a decorative accent wall.
TIP # 3: Make your room appear larger by using MIRRORS!
Everyone should be praising the one who started it all. Adding a full-length mirror as wall decor is a terrific way to brighten up any area in your home. It not only offers the impression of greater room, but it's also a really practical way of giving your home a lot more personality.
TIP # 4: Trust the #Budolfinds and stock up on these must-have household items.
· Casseroles - These serving casseroles give your dining room an all-white look. It's available in a variety of sizes to keep your table looking neat and tidy!
· Plates - Classic white plates are always a safe bet. Small accents, like black and gold borders, can help to dress it up. Looking for a different kind of white? Instead, go for a cream tint; it will add a nice touch to your home.
· Accessories - Aprons, chopping boards, and cutlery may all be proudly displayed in your kitchen to keep that white minimalist theme going. Cooking and eating have never looked so good!
· Rattan Mirrors - These statement pieces will be the main point of your decor. It adds a beautiful element while also offering practicality.
· Ceramics with Wooden Accents - Adding wooden embellishments to your pottery will keep things interesting. If you're a member of both teams, these white AND wooden pieces will suffice!
· Placemats - Placemats add a rustic touch to any decor. It's quite elegant, yet it's also very simple and nice to the eye. These are also a nice contrast to a plain hardwood table because of their texture and feel.
TIP # 5: Look for “Buy1 Take 1” Items.
Aside from being stylish, you may also be thrifty when it comes to decorating your home. Look for items that are “Buy 1 Take 1.” You can definitely save a lot from this good stuff.
TIP # 6: Use your imagination.
Bring all of your talents of observation and imagination to charity shops, discount outlets, and clean-up weeks when you're on a budget. Look for remnants at discount stores that might be used to alter a vital cushion. You'll find one-of-a-kind items that you'll keep for the rest of your life: things that look good, feel good, and communicate something positive about you to the rest of the world.
TIP # 7: Shop WISELY and WELL.
Avoid hasty or compromising decisions that you will regret later. When you're on a budget, it's tempting to buy items just because they're cheap rather than because they're nice. If you acquire a terrible sofa, for example, you'll want to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
TIP # 8: Choose affordable art.
You may be surprised to learn that affordable art is simpler to come by than you think. Look for sites that offer items that are fairly priced. Hang artwork in a group rather than dispersing it throughout a space for maximum impact.
TIP # 9: Focus on the layout.
Make the most of your limited space. Make a concerted effort to optimize the flow and atmosphere of each room in your home.
TIP # 10: Hang it.
Wall hooks are relatively inexpensive (sometimes less so than shelves), and despite their modest size, they may accommodate larger items that can become part of your decor, such as clothing. Don't be scared to add to your decor by hanging your utilitarian clothing and accessories in creative ways (and save on storage).
TIP # 11: Mix QUALITY PIECES with LESS EXPENSIVE FINDS.
When it comes to collecting, every item does not have to be priceless. Finding things you actually enjoy is far more crucial. That is what collecting is all about.
Be unique in your approach. It's more cost-effective to begin collecting something that's out of style or hasn't yet become a fad. They are all fascinating in their own way.
When it comes to updating your home, there's no disputing that there are plenty of options available to us, many of which come with a wide range of frightening price tags. The trick to updating your home's design without breaking the bank is to concentrate on minor improvements that make a huge difference. If at all possible, try to do as much as you can yourself to save money on hiring interior designers or purchasing brand-new furnishings.
