7 Unique Home Decor Ideas for Your Flat in Calicut

Real estate market trends in Calicut tell us that flats are becoming increasingly popular. After all, flats offer a lot more convenience and security than detached houses. If you are wondering how you can decorate your flat without cluttering up a small space, we have plenty of ideas for you. 

Home Decor Ideas That Reflect Your Style

We have some unique home decor ideas that will help your flat stand out and become the envy of your guests:

1. Create a Green Paradise

Most flats in Calicut may not have gardens, but you can create one inside your own flat. Potted plants can transform a concrete structure into a very warm and inviting space. You can have plants of all types and sizes:

• Creepers in the balcony and windows
• Flowering plants
• Low-maintenance plants
• Succulents, money plants, and lucky bamboo on shelves and desks
• Oxygen-giving plants like spider plant in the bedrooms
• Herbs like Tulasi, ginger, basil, rosemary, etc., on your kitchen window sill

Arrange plants using step stands, adjusting for their height. You can also place them on window sills in all the rooms. Colourful planters add to the decor, transforming the monotonous look into a vibrant one.

In addition to decor, plants help purify the air inside your home and have a positive impact on mental and physical health.

2. Wall of Art

Choose one wall to decorate fully with framed photographs, artwork, mural paintings, Thanjavur paintings, and so on while keeping the other walls in the living room bare – maybe just a wall clock, if at all. Family photographs, pictures of your holidays, paintings, and even vintage fabrics that are framed can go on this wall. Other artwork can also be placed here, like metal artefacts, for example, but make sure you maintain consistency in size. Arrange your sofa set in such a way that they are against the bare walls, and make sure that your sofa covering fabric contrasts the walls to create a dazzling effect.

3. Vintage Memory Lane

Bring in the old days and take your guests down memory lane by creating a vintage look in your flat. This is one of the unique home decor ideas that will surely become a conversation starter. Here are some things you can display in your living room and even the corridors: a gramophone player, old brass pots, antique furniture like a chest of drawers, ornate coffee or side tables, old mosaic tiles, black-and-white photographs on the wall, and so on. Get cushion covers stitched from old silk sarees – it adds a dash of brightness. In fact, installing vintage mosaic tiles in your living room is one of the renovation ideas for flats in Calicut we would like to suggest.

4. Au Naturel for Sustainability

Show your concern for the environment by using all-natural and sustainable materials – cotton or linen furnishings, like sofa covers and curtains, bamboo or wooden furniture, rugs and mats made from recycled materials, wicker lampshades, and so on. 

5. Showcase India

Each state in India has a distinct art form, and you can display a variety of them to create an Indian look. Thanjavur dancing dolls and paintings (with gold foil), Madhubani paintings, Warli art, Kathakali figurines and snake boats of Kerala, tribal artwork in fabric from the North East, puppets and ceramics from Rajasthan, carpets from Kashmir, marble inlay work and brass handicrafts from UP, and a lot more. You can take your pick. It is a great way to honour the artisans of the country.

6. Say it With Glass

If you want to be bold and are unafraid to be different, glass can be used very imaginatively in your home decor, in a number of ways: toughened glass for ceilings is sure to take your guests’ breath away. Create a mirror art gallery with decorative mirrors available in various shapes and designs, and tints. Mirrors also help in making a space appear larger.

7. Light it Up

Creative use of lights and lighting fixtures can make your place look amazing. You can choose a minimal look with discretely placed spotlights and strip lights, or a stunning look with glamorous chandeliers. Fairy lights can be used to create a soft glow in your bedroom, and in the balcony too.
