How to Transform a Boring Interior: If Not Renovation, Then What?

First, let’s get the terminology straight. A “boring interior” is a very subjective concept and means different things to different people. Let’s split this term into two general groups:

  1. Boring = Dull, lifeless
  2. Boring = Outdated

If the first one applies to you, to transform your boring interior, you just need to add a few stylish items. For the latter, we should consider more comprehensive makeover methods. We’ll talk more about this below. We’ve put together a fantastic list of hacks for each category, meaning everyone can find something they’ll truly love here.

Let’s go!

Method 1: Flowers in the Interior

Houseplants have always played a significant role in decor. Decorative plants “enliven” an apartment, beautify it, and add coziness.

However, the days when houseplants were limited to window sills are over. We’ll show you how, using decorative greenery techniques, you can not only create a cozy nook in your apartment but an entire greenhouse! Check out the photos:

To achieve such beauty, you’ll need to choose plants that will comfortably fit into your interior. Tropical foliage plants or succulents are perfect for our purpose. They set the right atmosphere and, most of the time, require minimal care.

Look at how you can decorate a bedroom’s interior:

And even for an office:

And here’s an option for a duplex apartment or a house with stairs.

Artificial flowers can also help transform a boring interior. The key is to use them sparingly, complementing the design but not making them the focal point.

Method 2: Curtains in the Interior

You might wonder, how can curtains help transform a dull interior? Undoubtedly, ostentatious curtains are out of fashion, but creating a stylish look with monochromatic curtains is entirely possible, and we’ll prove it to you.

Check out the photos below:

At first glance, there’s nothing unusual, but every perfectionist’s eye will be drawn to the curtains in this interior. Calm, muted tones, perfect folds, and natural fabrics do the trick. So, if you’re a bit of a perfectionist, catch the trend and adorn your interior with perfect curtains.

Method 3: Paintings for the Interior

A centuries-old method to beautify one’s dwelling. But you need to tread carefully: having paintings can either transform a boring interior or make it tasteless. What’s the limit? We’ll explain now.

In modern trends, paintings play a significant role. It’s crucial to understand how to use them properly. Firstly, you should consider the dwelling’s design. For example:

  • In designs like minimalism, industrial, American, and contemporary, we try to use paintings without frames, making them color accents as in the photos below:
  • In styles like art deco, eclectic, country, shabby chic, boho, and retro, beautiful frames fit perfectly. However, note that the paintings are small and placed next to each other in a chaotic arrangement. This design approach is trendy and helps set the right design accents.

For the Scandinavian style, grunge, and loft, you can use these stylish interior posters:

Here are three simple ways to transform a boring interior without much effort. The bonus is that you can apply them even in rental apartments. What else?
