5 ideas to add style to your interior
Because a home that reflects you makes all the difference.
At Mat & Seb, we love spaces that radiate personality, charm, and a touch of fun. And the good news? You don’t need to redo everything to give your interior a real twist! Here are 5 simple, inspiring, and affordable ideas to boost your style without blowing the budget.
Dare the accent wall !
Among the most accessible decorating tricks, a bold wall works wonders. It creates a true focal point without changing the whole room. Choose a daring shade, deep sage green, warm terracotta, soft blush pink, or enveloping midnight blue. Paint just one wall behind the sofa, the headboard, or at the end of a hallway and keep the others light for elegant contrast.
This quick, low-cost, and reversible trick is perfect to modernize a space, define zones in an open-plan layout, or simply inject some life into a room.
Let your lighting do the talking
Well-chosen lighting can completely transform a room’s atmosphere. Try a statement pendant in the dining room, a vintage lamp on the entryway console, or brass sconces above the bed.
Play with heights (ceiling, wall, floor) and intensities to create a mix of functional and cozy lighting.
For an even stronger style, mix materials glass, metal, fabric, rattan. Always go for warm-toned bulbs for that cocooning effect. Remember: in décor, light sets the mood.
Mix styles with flair
This is at the heart of the Mat & Seb spirit: mixing influences to create a look that feels truly yours. Think smart mix & match: a vintage chair around a modern table, an antique gilded mirror above a minimalist sideboard, or a Moroccan rug under a sleek glass coffee table.
The key isn’t to pile things up randomly, but to create a visual harmony through contrasts: raw vs. soft textures, clean lines vs. vintage curves. The result? A singular, vibrant, warm interior that evolves with you.
Bring in some green
Great décor also means bringing nature indoors. Plants instantly freshen up a space, purify the air, and make rooms more soothing.
Place a giant monstera in the living room, hang a trailing pothos in the kitchen, or line up a few cacti on a shelf.
Don’t forget the planters: colorful ceramics, natural wicker, raw concrete—they matter just as much as the plants themselves to create a striking effect.
And no worries: plenty of varieties (zamioculcas, sansevieria, calathea) thrive even without a green thumb.
Style isn’t just visual: think sound
We often forget, but décor is also about sound. A stylish speaker (Marshall, IKEA, Lexon…), a small record player, or even a well-crafted playlist can shift the vibe of a room.
Create a little “sound & chill” corner in your living room or entry with a few vinyl records, a candle, and dim lighting. Adding music to your daily moments will make your home feel even more comfortable.
