How to Design a Space with a Pop Art Style

Here are a number of tips that you can try to change the appearance of your home into a pop style, especially for young couples who live in urban areas with a minimalist home concept.

1. Combine old stuff with new stuff

Changing the design doesn’t mean you have to replace all of your home’s furniture with new ones. This is where creativity is tested. For example, if you have a teak table from the 80s, then you can still use it, by combining it with a modern-style chair with a neutral color or a more striking color than a teak table.

Likewise with old cabinets or long dining tables that can be combined with a little color on the sides of the cabinets or pairing modern chairs for the dining table. Guaranteed striking and lively impression will immediately radiate.

Even if you have to buy new furniture to complement the pop design of your home, choose contemporary furniture that is practical and doesn’t take up much space, and another that is colorful according to the theme you are building.

2. Dare to choose colors

One of the characteristics and advantages of pop design is the choice of colors that are different from others, so you don’t have to worry too much about clashing colors with one another. What needs to be emphasized is the application in the right room. Such as the living room, family room, work room or kitchen though. Because in this way your home will feel “alive”.

Even if you want to reduce excessive patterns in one room, then you can adapt it in a rest room such as a bedroom. It is enough to reduce the tone pop in the room a little so that your rest in the room is maintained in maximum function and quality.

Meanwhile, for the kitchen, you can still apply neutral colors to the walls of the room and then combine them with dark colors, such as black and white. The two will be a harmonious blend. The room will not look dirty but it is fast and well organized.

3. Ethnic Touch

Other variations of pop art designs can be obtained by adding ethnic or other art designs in some corners of the room or furniture. For example, you can add an ethnic-patterned rug in the middle of the living room, or give accent lines/other motifs to the corner of the table or cabinet frame.

The main thing in pop art design is to use stand out colors, but on the other hand, use contrasting colors with soft tones so that it doesn’t look too overwhelming and pleasing to the eye.

Understanding the definition of pop above, now is the time to try to apply it in your home. Here are some steps to follow before making changes.

1. Choose a theme

It is the main thing that must be done before deciding to change the look of the house. Choose a theme or pop art image that matches the color scheme of your living room. Then try to be consistent with the colors when decorating.

For example in the living room. If you don’t dare to make extreme design changes, you can still use neutral colored paint that is already attached to the wall. You only need to add one light color on one wall, such as a bright blue or pink color. Next, combine it with contrasting colored chairs such as red, yellow or bright blue. Your living room as well as your family room will come alive in an instant. Or for example, you don’t want to change the color of your sofa or chair, just add a touch of pop art to the seat cushions with a bold and attractive color pattern.

There is no need to fill the whole room with just a few pieces of furniture so that the room still feels spacious and not crowded. Excessive use of a lot of furniture and patterns will only ignore the “firm and alive” focus that is to be created to be “dense and crowded”.

2. Focus Point

Another creativity required is determining the focal point. Installing a pop art-style wall hanging aims to create a focal point in the room. For example, the room is dominated by neutral colors, then this will instantly become the main attraction while adding bright accents to the entire room.

If you just want to fill an empty wall in the living room or family room then choose a larger picture frame. Arrange in such a way that it matches the furniture and other interiors so that everything looks good and becomes a beautiful harmony in the room. Likewise, in the selection of images, it is not only forced to follow personal tastes, but which can blend with interior design and furniture.
