When it comes to interior design, variety can create a visually stimulating and dynamic space.
What is Variety?
Variety involves incorporating a mix of different elements like texture, colour, size and shape. The differences break through the uniformity of a space and create interest. When implemented effectively, variety can add depth and create emphasis in a space.
The key to making variety work in your home is to have a balanced approach. You want to create visual interest without creating chaos, focussing on creating a focal point and highlighting its unique features.
How You Can Implement Variety in Your Home
To achieve variety in your home, consider using a combination of furniture types, decorative objects, wall treatments and finishes and different flooring options.
You can create variety in many ways. Consider some of the following examples when thinking about incorporating variety in your space.
- Pair a sleek, modern couch with a chunky, knit throw
- Use different styles of chairs and couches
- Introduce different textures by combining different materials such as wood, metal, fabric, glass etc
- Pair modern furniture with antique pieces
- Incorporate bold patterns or a pop of colour using throws or cushions in a space that is predominantly neutral in tone
- Combine different artforms such as paintings, sculptures and photos
- Add visual interest by mixing geometric shapes or combining different patterns
- Incorporate statement pieces such a bold artwork or unique lighting fixtures
- Soften timber floors with plush rugs
When implemented effectively, variety can create an original, dynamic and visually appealing space.
