Eye-catching interior designs are one of the hallmarks of a great home. As such, homeowners are always on the lookout for decorative elements that can add a bit more elegance to their living space. Here are some terrific home decorating ideas to try out:

1. Hardwood floors

Hardwood floors, with their smooth, sleeky surfaces, add a classic feel to a home's interior, especially those with darker shades. They're also durable and easy to maintain. Furthermore, they come in different categories with individual prices, giving homeowners a wide range of options, depending on their budget.

2. Multipurpose furniture

Furniture pieces are one of the essentials in a home. They're also one of the elements homeowners can get creative with to spruce up their home interior. Investing in multipurpose furniture pieces is a terrific way to do this. Tables with wine racks, coffee and dining table combos, and stairways with bookshelves are some of the exciting options available.

3. Unique lighting

Like furniture, lighting is another fundamental aspect of a home. But, when choosing the lighting elements for their houses, most homeowners stick with the simple stuff. However, some elegant options can have a dazzling effect on the interior design of a home. Eclipse wall lights and antique chandeliers are some terrific choices.

Common areas in apartment and condominium developments over the years were often poorly designed spaces containing a few chairs and maybe a pool table, but tenants' increasing expectations have prompted a change. These areas now can include fitness centers, party rooms, and even movie theaters as residential amenities. Due to this trend, common areas are designed as social spaces that are not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing as well.

In large multi-family buildings, common areas can employ virtually any design, but both modern and traditional designs appeal to the widest range of potential renters. The layouts are often highlighted by inviting colors and uncluttered furnishings usable by everyone. Wall sconces can add a dramatic flair to these spaces. Ambient, task, and accent lights are also popular choices for such spaces.
