With a special statement piece, you add a personal touch to your interior. Whether you go for exuberant or understated, there's an eyecatcher for every interior style. Think of colour, a striking shape or an exciting mix of materials.
Trendy eyecatchers
Be careful not to go only for a trendy item. The temptation is very strong when it's beautifully styled and presented in a shop. Trends are often short-lived, mainstream and therefore not very original. Something to think about when you're looking for an eyecatcher. Besides, it doesn't automatically suit your home and your interior style. A piece of furniture or an accessory comes into its own best in relation to other items and its surroundings. If you find it hard to define your own interior style, creating a moodboard is the solution.
Moodboard
With the Pinterest app you can quickly and easily collect images that inspire you and then save them by room or by theme. Want to work more precisely? Then go old school and tear out images from magazines. That way you're much more conscious about choosing and selecting images that appeal to you, and it's great fun to do as well! Don't just think of interior magazines, but look much more broadly. Also pay attention to colours, shapes and images of, for example, textures, materials or nature.
Collect as much as possible and start moving and swapping the images around until you've captured the right atmosphere and composition. One that radiates the feel of your current interior style, or the interior style you'd love to move towards. When you're considering a purchase, check whether the item fits the look of your moodboard. That way you avoid bad buys and a restless mix of styles. It will help you make a good choice of furniture and accessories that reinforce each other. That way your interior becomes much more of a coherent whole.
