When renovating their home, most people turn to a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, and possibly some new furniture. To really elevate a space, the Renewal by Andersen team, who knows a thing or two about home design, recommend taking a renovation to the next level.

We recently chatted with their team after completing a project at a house in Cary (where all of these dreamy home pics were taken).

Here are 6 design tips to consider when refreshing + renovating one’s home:

1. Use a three-part color scheme in any room, utilizing these proportions to help guide how you distribute color: 60% of the dominant color, 30% for another, and 10% for the third color.

2. Swapping out windows + patio and exterior doors can have a striking effect on a home’s exterior + interior while adding additional protection to a house. During a free in-home consultation, Renewal’s design consultants listen to customers’ needs + create a plan to enhance their home’s beauty.

3. Sample paint colors and find complementary colors before committing to a design plan. #ProTip: Along with paint samples, explore window styles + color options ahead of your Renewal consultation to help give the design team a better picture of your vision.

4. Know the space you’re redecorating and buy furniture that is proportioned appropriately to not over or underwhelm a room.

5. If your room is feeling bland, try a two-tone wall.

6. Invest in art that adds personality. Local art or framed memories always beat out big-box store buys.
