I’m an interior designer – the cheap decor changes everyone needs to make your home look more expensive

They said a neutral base will keep your space timeless and chic while allowing you to easily change the decor based on your changing tastes.

Swoon's Head of Design, Sam Baldry, said: “I love the idea of creating a neutral base to accessorize and embellish."

"As someone who tends to change their interior often, with constant influences from external factors such as the fashion industry and advertising, building a neutral base and enhancing it with bold and daring accessories is the perfect technique to ensure that interior revamps don’t cost an arm and a leg each time."

He suggested starting with white walls to give your space a fresh, crisp look.

As for building around the space, Baldry said to decide on cool or warm tones.

"I prefer cool, so I would go for grey furniture rather than beige - these are the two most impartial base tones," he said.

"A light grey , grey curtains, and grey upholstered  will tie a room together nicely, leaving space for bolder accessories such as , , and  to truly personalize the space.”

CONCEPTS > THEMES

TikTok creator () said to come up with room concepts rather than themes.

"A theme usually follows certain design rules, using accessories that directly relate to a specific idea, such as shell accessories for a beach-themed room, or flowers for a nature-themed room," said the designers from Swoon.

On the other hand, a concept uses notions and motifs from your design idea to give the room a more classic feel.
