Now’s Your Chance To Turn Your Treasures Into Top Interior Design Features

If you love to collect personal treasures yet have no idea where to put them, learn how to change them into top interior design features for your house. Lesley Taylor, an interior designer gives you tips and tricks to make these treasures personalized works of art.

Memories are lasting reminders of the heart and it is no surprise that we collect keepsakes as our very own treasures. With all of those memories we collect around, we find ourselves having problems where to stash these treasures. Some may even be space consumers just whiling away and sitting there unnoticed. So how can you save space and make your house more..."you"?

Nottinghampost shows you that you can have your very own top interior design decors with your collected treasure. Usually, the common treasures are photographs, trinkets, souvenirs, and objects that would strongly connect you to the place or to the moment. It is pleasant, yes, but you can do more with it. The usual cultural trinkets from your trips in exotic countries can be a great designer piece by itself. However, if you have the small pieces, they advise you to use a metal-framed box (or any box that would be a good match) for your coffee table. Use that said box as a focal point or a good table décor. Pro tip: You can entertain your guests by telling stories of the items you find in the box.

If you have lots of photos as your treasures, you can still make it appear like it's a top design feature with the help of a bit of stencil and an eye for art. Stencils are in your nearby art shop, and they are so easy to do. Once you have your stencil, have a design in mind, and make sure to litter it around with your favorite photos. Always keep in mind to study colors that much to avoid it being an eye sore. This is also possible for postcards as well.

Treasures are not just ones you get from traveling but also important objects at home. They suggested making magnets and giving your fridge a good top design appearance with the use of the simplest and prettiest things like your kids' artwork or a small card. You can also opt for jars and containers in different sizes, colors, and shapes to contain and encapsulate your special everyday household items. With all these ideas, you can hit two birds with one stone by making your favorite treasures into top design features and by giving your house fresh and personalized look.
