Flipper house & apartment 2026: Guest “Flipper Immo”

Today I’m talking to our interview guest Johannes Schwärzler. With his YouTube channel Flipper Immo, he shows fix & flip projects, explains the strategy, presents before / after examples and much more, all from the flipper practice. What does flipping mean to him, what are his experiences and tips as a house flipper!

PS: Finally, I asked Johannes for 3 video recommendations for Fix & Flip beginners. You can find the videos spread throughout the interview

FIV: Hello Johannes! Your story is really inspiring for those who want to make money in real estate and like hands-on work! Before we get to that, can you tell me in a nutshell, even for those who have heard about “flipping houses and apartments” for the first time, what is the “fix & flip” of real estate all about?

Johannes: As I grew up on a farm, I have always been involved in building, working and repairing. The first time I heard about the concept(buy, renovate, sellproperty) was on TV in a program from the USA: Fixxer Upper. A couple buys apartments and houses, renovates them and then sells them.

Fix and flip is primarily about creating value with worn-out apartments. The purchase usually also solves a few problems for the owner, who does not want to renovate, someone who can no longer rent the apartment or simply wants to sell it. The property is then renovated to a high standard and put back on the market after a few months.

Why is that possible? The best comparison is eating out vs. going out to eat. We could buy ingredients cheaply and spend time and energy cooking the food ourselves. Alternatively, we go to a restaurant, have someone cook, pay the rent and employees and prepare the ingredients, and are then prepared to pay money for this practical service. In this case, the restaurant owner has the margin and the associated profit.

It’s the same with apartments. Very few people want to renovate or even solve problems themselves. That’s where we come in as “pinball machines”.

Get out of the hamster wheel! Flipping and YouTube

FIV: Could you tell us how you went from an idyllic Demeter farm in the Allgäu region to real estate trading? What inspired you to do so?

Johannes: Looking back, all the jobs and experiences I’ve had so far have come together to form a big puzzle that has given me all the important skills to do this job.

After several years in corporations and start-ups, the day-to-day work no longer felt like you were creating real added value with what you were creating. You drive up sales and get new customers, but it’s not a satisfying creation of something. I also always wanted to be my own boss, to create real added value through something I produce and, of course, to be financially rewarded for it. After 10 years abroad, I realized that my future is right here and now and not hiding behind the next job or the next pay rise. As a result, I made the decision within a few days to finally do what I always wanted to do. To create something new from something old and earn money at the same time. Since that day, I’ve been living my hobby and sharing it with a cool community on YouTube and Instagram from day one.

It’s extremely fulfilling and fun every day. Flipping has so many different components. The financing, the people, estate agents, bankers, craftsmen, owners and, of course, a happy buyer who appreciates my work.

It’s extremely varied! I love it!

His start: draughtsman, estate agent, now pinball player

FIV: You have experienced different places like Dubai, Mallorca and Germany and had different jobs in real estate agencies and companies. What finally made you decide to start your own real estate flipping journey?

Johannes: That’s right. I trained as a draftsman when I was 16 and that was my first taste of real estate. I then went on to do my vocational baccalaureate because, to be honest, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life.

As a result, in 2013, I went straight to Australia for 6 months for Work & Travel at the age of 23 and then straight to Dubai. I wanted to get out! I wanted to earn money, I thought that money makes you happy. In Dubai, I became a real estate agent as a career changer, was quite successful for my age and was able to make a good living from it. After 2 years, I wanted something different and then became a sales manager in a German company. With an excellent salary, a Porsche and 2-3 employees under my management, I realized that this couldn’t be it. Things don’t make me as happy as I had expected. The big mistake was my false expectations!

The opportunity arose and I moved to Mallorca, so after almost 4.5 years in Dubai, I started a new chapter.

Once there, I continued to work as a sales manager for an international German airline. In the B2B area, I looked after Amex, Priceline and similar major customers in the USA and Canada, so I got to see the world! I opened first flights in the USA at the airport on behalf of my company and of course visited many customers across the country. I am infinitely grateful for this experience to this day! An absolute privilege!

When COVID came, my 7-year relationship ended and I was at an important point in my life again, I had to make another groundbreaking decision.

What to do? Wait or simply… start!

There were two options: 1. to do the same thing I had been doing for the last few years. Look for a job. Work my way up and then sooner or later end up where I was at the time. Not quite fulfilled, looking for more and not my own boss.

Option 2: Whenever someone asked me back in Dubai what I wanted to do when I was “rich”, my answer was: buy old buildings, renovate them and breathe new life into them.

The famous loud click then came overnight: “Why wait until I’m rich to do what I want to do later. I’ll just do it now”!

So the plan was set. Create added value and thus generate more value. For me. According to my ideals, visions and creative ideas. After all, we alone are responsible for growth.

The first Fix & Flip property

FIV: When you decided to follow your own path, you bought and renovated your first property in just two weeks. Can you tell us more about what this step was like for you and how you approached the renovation?

Johannes: Due to Covid and the long relationship, I decided to go back to Germany. To my origins. I had yellow postcards printed from Mallorca (“looking for a private apartment”) and ordered them to Germany. They arrived and on the 3rd day I was already out and about in the city for hours handing out these postcards. After a few days I received the first call, the first viewing and the notary appointment was 2 weeks later.

I also keep noticing that this is unfortunately a bit rare these days and that we try to get too much information about a topic. We always think there’s just one piece of information missing so that I can get started. The reality is that information is important, but implementation is even more important.

The first 2, 3 objects

The aim was also to renovate the first 2-3 objects as best I could myself in order to get to know the material and my “new” product. As I knew that I would be doing a lot of flipping in the future, it was important for me to get to know my product. Inside and out. Of course, the best way to do this is to renovate an apartment yourself with your father, the hard-working farmer to whom you owe your manual skills.

To this day, I am incredibly proud that he is part of my first GmbH and “works” wherever he can! I call this part: giving something back!

The first project was an exciting step. I knew that no matter how long it took or what mistakes I made, I was only doing it for my future and myself! It was so much fun that while one apartment was still being renovated, I had already reserved the second one.

More money, more happiness?

FIV: You mentioned that you earned your annual salary in just three months with the sale of this first property. How has this experience affected your perspective on work and money?

Johannes: I’ve spent my life chasing money, or rather I thought that more money meant more happiness. From the day I created added value with something I’m passionate about, money was no longer so important and has been flowing more than ever since.

Of course, this is also due to the industry in which I work. A restaurant or car dealer sometimes has a margin of 25% or more on their products, but with an apartment in the Allgäu region, you quickly cross the €200-300,000 mark. In this case, 25% is of course significantly more money than 25% on a car that costs €20,000. From these beginnings and the countless doors that have opened, there are now several limited companies and the number is growing every year.

FIV: Your transformation from the pursuit of money to what you describe as the most fulfilling job or hobby in the world is fascinating. Can you tell us more about how your motivation and focus has changed?

Johannes: I haven’t gotten up for money for about 3 years. I can organize my day completely myself, can do more or less what I want and enjoy every day that I can live out my hobby, now my job. Since then, the focus has always been on win-win situations. As long as I put quality before quantity and don’t try to squeeze every penny out so that it ends up in my pocket, things have been going extremely well ever since!

Do what makes you happy!

FIV: As someone who is now working for their passion rather than just money, what advice would you give to young people who are looking for a fulfilling career or hobby?

Johannes: Go into crafts! Art, crafts and a very few other professions are proven to make you “happy” because you have a creative process. You see what you’ve done at the end of the day. Also, with the current developments, heating laws and the biggest housing shortage the country has ever seen, it makes extreme sense to get into an industry that is part of the “real estate” economic chain. Yes, it sounds like a lot of work, especially for the “work-life balance generation”, but success is hard work in 99% of cases, and it doesn’t make you rich overnight. Even if the gurus on Instagram tell you that every day.

Plumbing, electrical and other trades requiring a master craftsman’s certificate will have no problems finding work for the next 20 years.

To the young people: Please stop comparing yourselves! Social media is 95% fake.

Everyone seems richer, no one works and everyone has a supposedly better life than you do. The grass is not greener on the other side, but where you water it!

Remember: everyone has their own pace! Not everyone has to be rich, not everyone can be rich and not everyone should have employees, be a boss or sell online courses from Bali on their PC. Above all, it is important to understand that we are not working towards a final point in life. Not a career point after which everything magically gets better. Not a relationship that works without work. The journey is still the destination and if you do something you don’t like every day, that’s fine for a while, but sooner or later you should do something that fulfills you, provides a roof over your head and you have enough time for family and friends.

Video tip #2 – Buy, renovate, sell your apartment!

First project 2023, very recent:

Personal flipping experiences: What should you look out for?

FIV: How has your personal journey in real estate flipping influenced you in terms of your values and priorities? What role does materialism play in your life today?

Johannes: Very, very little. Of course I buy new things from time to time, but cars, watches, brand-name clothes or anything else are completely unimportant to me. I primarily spend my money on travel and experiences. The question you should ask yourself when making major purchases is: if no one was allowed to see the item I really wanted to buy and I couldn’t tell anyone about it, would I still buy it or would I buy it to have an effect on those around me?

Money is a means to an end. Money is only valuable if it is used for something. A lever, so to speak. For me, it’s primarily buying my time back out of the system, traveling and wonderful experiences with a handful of important people.

FIV: You gave the impression that your journey in real estate flipping has only just begun. What are your long-term goals and visions for your future in this field?

Johannes: yes, absolutely! I’ve only just got going. There are a few things I’m working on at the moment. On the one hand, I will continue to flip 1-2 properties in the Allgäu with my father. In the other GmbH, I’m flipping larger projects with partners. YouTube will continue to be extremely expanded in 2024. A new company is currently being founded in the real estate software sector, which will make a huge impact on the market. We are solving a real problem and not just artificially creating one and then presenting the solution as a start-up. However, I can’t reveal anything more about this at the moment; you’ll find out in the spring on social media.

The 3-year goal is to flip Mallorca, again quality instead of quantity. Of course, this is also economically viable, but my primary aim is to have one foot back on my old island so that I can escape the cold weather in Bavaria from time to time and live on the island for a while.

FIV: Finally, what advice would you give to young people who are setting out to follow their own path and pursue their passions, as you have done?

Johannes: You have to be aware that you have to work for success. Dropshipping, affiliate marketing, smma or other entertaining business trends only work if you invest years of your time, diligence and work. Focus on one thing at the beginning! Not 7 income streams or whatever other nonsense is being spread. Every successful person out there has started a business and made it big over a few years. After that, you can diversify yourself and your attention. This usually happens all by itself because you expand your network accordingly and new opportunities are brought to you. To make the first big leap, you need laser focus!

FIV: Thank you very much, Johannes, for your insights and your inspiring story, your experiences. I can also endorse your focus on one thing in every respect. It was a great insight into the topic. Finally, our #3 video recommendation for your Fix & Flip entry!

Interview: This is what it’s all about!

To successfuly complete a Fix & Flip project, the ultimate goal is to make a profit. The basic idea of Fix & Flip is to increase the value of a property. You buy a cheap but lucrative property, add value to it yourself and sell it at the end for a profit. This means you have to work cost-efficiently to keep your expenses low and thus increase the profit.

We conduct the interview with Immobilien-Erfahrung.de (in conversation “IE”). We talk in the interview about:

• The purchase and finding of lucrative properties
• Saving costs when upgrading and renovating
• The profitable sale of the object
• Bonus topics such as taxes, legal forms and financing

What is Fix & Flip?

FIV: Let’s start with the basics. Can you start by explaining what Fix & Flip is and how it works?

IE: Of course! Fix & Flip is a strategy or even method from the real estate world that focuses specifically on trading real estate. That is, unlike traditional real estate strategies where properties are held to generate long-term returns, Fix & Flip actively trades properties. The core aspect is to increase the value of real estate in order to generate profit when trading. The increase in value is achieved through cost-effective upgrading and renovation.

So the strategy consists of three basic steps – buying, upgrading and selling.

Fix & Flip Find & Buy Property

FIV: We have already talked about Fix & Flip in one of our articles and have shed some light on the three steps. Surely we could not clarify everything there what an expert with experience can report about it. Let’s go through the three steps again and see what you can tell us. Let’s start with the first step – the purchase.

IE: Yes, with pleasure. Getting started is the biggest difficulty! In order to start trading real estate at all, you need real estate. So the first step is all about acquiring real estate. This is also one of the most complicated parts of Fix & Flip. First of all, you need to create and work through a criteria checklist when searching for the perfect property.

Criteria for the selection of Fix & Flip real estate

IE: The checklist for the real estate search should include important key data that are important to you as a flipper. Basically, the location and the condition are the basis for the decision.

The property must be in an advantageous location for you. Advantageous in the sense that it is an attractive area for future buyers – so it can be sold quickly – and is still in an affordable location for you. A-locations are not advantageous, since city centers, for example, are not worthwhile in terms of price. B-locations or developing C-locations are much more suitable.

In addition, the condition of the property must be considered. Since the focus is on “cheap” properties, these often also harbor problems. This is fine to a certain extent, of course, as the strategy involves “fixing” after all, but it should still not be overestimated.

With the Fix & Flip it is important to avoid sanitation!

These are too costly and time-consuming. The building fabric of your object should therefore basically be in tact.

FIV: With the basic criteria in mind – where is the best place to look for real estate?

Search & buy objects: How do I proceed?

IE: Online portals provide a solid basis for the search. Here, offers in the corresponding location can be found and compared with each other. So you get a rough picture and an idea of the price. However, I would rather use the online portals for research and not for the purchase.

You get the better buying options privately through off-market properties. Ideally, you already have a network of people who will contact you as soon as they hear about a sale. If you don’t have that, you have to look for the personal contact yourself. Either you show yourself, for example through marketing and let customers come to you, or you take the initiative and approach customers personally.

To explain this now would go beyond the scope of this article.

FIV: Okay good. We’ll summarize the first step again:

• Checklist with criteria for the property
• Location & condition of the object are important
• Avoid objects in need of renovation
• Use online portals for research
• Off-market real estate from private contact

What would come next? The upgrade?

IE: I would talk briefly beforehand about financing options for the purchase.

Fix & Flip financing: which loan is suitable?

Just recently I talked to one of our partners about an interesting topic and that is Fix & Flip without equity. In order to run Fix & Flip without equity, you need outside capital. The debt capital is provided through loans and credits. In discussing which type of loan was best, I first realized how important the question of financing is in the first place.

Therefore, I wanted to briefly list the most important points again.

The funding can be divided into two areas

The financing of the property itself and the financing of the renovation process. Both areas can be financed individually but also in combination. This is decided according to one’s own ideas. There are different types of loans for both options.

Credit types at a glance

To finance the entire project, in principle, all conventional loans can be used. Hard money loans are particularly suitable for the purchase of the property. These are based only on the value of the property, not on the equity.

There are several good financing options for upgrading. Small loans are the simplest solutions. But credit lines are more interesting! These give in principle a budget from which you can take what you need. Accordingly, only the interest is paid and repaid what is consumed.

FIV: I’ll hold on again:

• Purchase financing
• Renovation financing
• Separate or combined
• Regular loans
• Hard Money Loans
• Small loans
• Credit lines

With funding out of the way, there’s not much standing in the way of the upgrading process right?

Upgrading real estate: saving costs & increasing value

IE: Yes, that’s right. Since the process of upgrading is very detailed, I’ll try to be brief and mention only the most important things. We also have complete explanations and articles on our site.

Simply put, this step is about the actual value creation and thus the generation of profit. Here, the property, which is unattractive for the end users, is made attractive. This is achieved through cost-effective renovation measures.

Cost effective is the saying here!

Care must be taken to increase the value effectively without great expense. As already mentioned, extensive renovations are not advantageous.

The best way to increase the value of the property is to replace the flooring, kitchen and plumbing fixtures, new windows and doors, and garden and patio maintenance.

Those who are not skilled in handicrafts will find the best help and advice from craftsmen.

FIV: So the areas where renovation can be effective are:

• Flooring
• Bath
• Kitchen
• Windows
• Doors
• Garden
• Terrace

After upgrading, is the property then ready for sale?

Fix & Flip sale: exposé, offers & home staging

IE: In principle, yes! Already during the revaluation process, an appraiser can start valuing the property. This gives you an approximate idea of the selling price at an early stage. In addition, the preparation of the exposé can also be started promptly and the listing subsequently published.

For the creation there is one more crucial trick – home staging!

FIV: What exactly is it?

Home staging to prepare the display

Home staging is a simple trick to make the living space look more attractive for the pictures of the exposé. In the process, the rooms are made to look alive. For this purpose, no real furniture is used, but specially made cardboard furniture. This saves energy and costs for a “move”.

As soon as the exposé goes on the market you wait!

And when you’ve received enough offers, you compare them and negotiate if necessary to get an even better price.

After the selection of the buyer then follows only the notary appointment and the transfer of ownership.

Finally, the profit can be calculated. For visualization there is the Fix & Flip calculator on our site.

FIV: The sales process is now over. What happens to the profit? Surely it has to be taxed?

Fix & Flip Taxes: How much profit am I left with?

IE: Absolutely correct. Of course, taxes are due on fix & flip profits, just like anything else. What taxes and especially how much depends on the legal form you traded in.

As an individual or sole proprietor, regular income tax must be paid. Depending on how high your profit was in the end is assigned to a certain tax rate.

These tax rates are recorded in the tax progression.

If you plan to operate Fix & Flip for a longer period of time, it is worthwhile to establish a limited liability company. This requires a share capital of 25,000 euros, but you save a lot of taxes. In addition, your own capital is no longer liable but only the company limited to the paid-in capital.

As a GmbH, you then only pay corporate income tax of around 15% and trade tax of 3.5%.

I have now only given rough key data on taxation. Of course, the topic can be further elaborated.

If you want to know more about it, please visit our Fix & Flip guide. Among other things, I can recommend the articles Fix & Flip Taxes, Property Appreciation and Fix & Flip Sales.

FIV: Thanks so much for your time and insights into the Fix & Flip strategy!

IE: Gladly!

What is Fix & Flip?

The Fix & Flip strategy refers to buying, upgrading and selling real estate within a short period of time with the goal of making a profit.

The process begins with finding an undervalued property to buy and renovate. After the upgrading measures are completed, the property is sold on the market at a higher price.

So Fix & Flip is:

• Buy a cheap property
• Upgrade them cost-effectively
• Sell profitably

Buy Fix & Flip property

The first step in implementing a fix & flip strategy is to find and purchase a suitable property. Remember to do a thorough assessment of the building’s fabric to understand what kind of renovations are needed to increase the property’s value and get a realistic estimate of the selling price.

Here are some tips that can help you with this process.

Search undervalued real estate

These can be properties that are in poor condition or whose owners need to sell them quickly. Nevertheless, when choosing a property, pay attention to its location. The location is decisive for the subsequent selling price.

Use of online platforms

There are many online platforms that make it easier to find suitable properties, such as social media platforms or apps and online markets. Also, private contacts can be an ideal way to find lucrative properties for the fix & flip strategy.

Build a network: Brokers, craftsmen & Co.

Making contacts with brokers, craftsmen and other professionals in the real estate sector is very helpful to be informed about possible offers. Here you can simply use online platforms or contact private individuals.

Maybe your uncle knows someone who has renovated a bathroom cheaply before.

Secure funding & capital

Make sure you have enough capital to renovate and sell the property you buy. Many fix & flip projects fail due to insufficient capital. Generous planning of costs and financial resources is therefore very important.

Fix & Flip offers the possibility to finance them. You can find out how that works here:

• Fix & Flip Financing

After the purchase of the property comes the important step of upgrading.

Fix & Flip property upgrade

Upgrading the real estate is the real work. Here you must pay attention to a detailed planning of the work. With the planning you can better estimate expenses for costs and time. The goal of the revaluation is to increase the value of the property by effective measures, in order to achieve profit. With redevelopment, renovation and modernization measures, these goals can be achieved.

In the following article, you will find out exactly what you need to pay attention to, what work is involved and what costs you will incur:

• Fix & Flip property upgrade

Fix & Flip property for sale

The last step after upgrading the property is selling it. This step ultimately leads to your profit, which is why it is important to choose the right approach here.

First, you should have your property appraised by an expert, such as architects or realtors. They will give you a range in which you can set your selling price.

You can see how such a profit calculation looks like in this article:

• Fix & Flip Cost Accounting

Also interesting! Fix & Flip taxes differ depending on the legal form chosen.

Conclusion. Fix & Flip & Capital Increase

If you find a cheap property, the Fix & Flip strategy is a profitable way to invest in real estate. However, you must keep in mind that the strategy can also be associated with risks, such as unforeseen renovation costs or difficulties in selling the property.

High risk but high reward

In summary, the Fix & Flip strategy, when executed efficiently, contributes quickly and effectively to your capital increase. You must make sure that you are well prepared and understand the risks before starting with this strategy.

Trend: The Hollywood Mirror

We all know it: You want to take a nice picture of a new outfit and look good doing it. Often it is not so easy to find a suitable place for a large mirror that also offers enough daylight. The solution is a Hollywood or Vanity mirror, which is surrounded by light bulbs to give a perfect light. Thanks to Amber Scholl we now know how to do it inexpensively, because just the big Hollywood mirrors are sold expensively.

Here’s Amber Scholl’s DIY version:

DIY walk-in closet

One dream we all share is to walk into our walk-in closet in the morning, coffee in hand, and pick out our clothes for the day ahead. Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City put it in these words, ‘I like my money right where I can see it…. Hanging in my Closet.’ We couldn’t agree more, Carrie! To make this dream come true, Amber Scholl is helping out here too and has made a mega tutorial for a walk-in closet. Room for shoes, dresses, jewelry and bags.

The dream wardrobe of Amber Scholl:

Fur armchair for your home

On Instagram, a hashtag of its own. The fur armchair looks great in any home! The trend started with the typical fur cushion or fur rug that probably everyone has lying around at home, but a whole armchair makes of course much more and is also simply more practical! It not only looks extremely chic but is also comfortable. Of course, an armchair like this is a costly affair. Amber Scholl has more than succeeded with her DIY version.

Here the exclusive fur armchair for all:

Marble floor tutorial

Last but not least, of course, we can’t deprive you of the famous Marble Floor. With over 2 million views, it has made it to the top, and not without reason! It has fulfilled the desire of some who couldn’t afford a brand new marble floor right away, or don’t have the right to do so in a rented apartment. Turning an apartment into a palace has never been so easy and cheap!

Here is the tutorial:

Wall colours & colour accents

Coral: modern female colour

Actually, you prefer light and natural colours in your living room, but now you are longing for a splash of colour! Then “coral” is exactly what you need now. Set accents and still keep your style! You can freshen up white and beige with coral-coloured pieces and you’ll even be totally trendy! Coral is a milder form that has a red tinge. It usually looks like a mixture of red and rosé. Not obtrusive, but nevertheless determined, this nuance is the centre of attention and will transform your four walls into a true oasis where the warmth of the sun is reflected and slumbering holiday memories are brought back to life! As a wall paint, it is definitely in focus and warms up the entire living space.

Ideally it can be combined not only with tones such as white and beige, but also with blue, green and yellow. Actually you are very flexible with the rest of the furniture. So you can find a way for you not to change the whole furnishing, but to direct the attention of the visitors to the details. In the interior decoration coral is often used as a colour tone in combination with the image of a coral itself.

However, coral is available in different colour shades! The brighter variant slightly plays around the peach colour, the other one rather rust-brown. Everyone has to find his own individual way to find his own colour nuance and to integrate and combine it in his own home! But this colour does not restrict anyone by far, that is for sure!

Colour for interior design: Petrol – mix of green & blue

What exactly does petrol actually mean? All in all, you can say that it is a mixture of blue and green. It looks rather cool, but very pleasant and is suitable as an eye-catcher. No matter whether it has a blue or green tinge, petrol harmonises in both colour directions and looks noble, but at the same time playful, in any case super stylish! The contrast between light accents and dark wall colour makes the room look much more interesting. If you choose a wall colour in this direction, a pleasant room and living atmosphere is guaranteed. The advantage here is also definitely that you have complete freedom with the rest of the room design. In combination with the current trend colour, mustard yellow, as well as natural tones, petrol looks great!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxW6ifJnXCd/

As a wall color this eye-catcher is a little “too much” for you, then direct the focus on sofa cushions, curtains or individual pieces of furniture from this color family. This way you also create an interesting living space. You do not commit yourself immediately and can slowly approach the daring trend colour! Not only this year petrol will turn our heads, but also in the following years the mixture of green and blue is a great way to bring the forest and the sea into your home, into your own four walls!

Mustard yellow – the trend colour for rooms

With THE trend colour 2019 / 2020 summer will move into your home. You would think that this colour tone is a real challenge and not easy to combine! The warm shade harmonizes perfectly with other natural shades such as grey, beige, brown and white and natural materials also fit perfectly with the boho style. For the more adventurous among us, the combination of mustard yellow and petrol is a hip must. With cushions and other small things you can conjure up great accents in a very dreary room and give it that certain something. The mix of a light brown and yellow is also very suitable as a wall paint! Unlike the cool petrol, you can bring the room to new life with mustard yellow on your walls and breathe warmth and harmony into the whole.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BudM08RB_P9/

Pieces of furniture, such as corner sofas, but also textiles, such as carpets, cushions and curtains are a great way to bring in the warm nuance! Also materials, such as marble and wood make a great combination and your living room immediately becomes a trendy setting. You can keep it rather simple, or use different patterns and shades of colour to create an interesting mix that will amaze the viewer! Who does not have the feeling of summer?

You still don’t know exactly how to combine this colour ideally and integrate it into your living space? Don’t worry, we have the right tips and tricks to help you freshen up your four walls! With small vases and tea lights you can set great accents on a table or windowsill! The eyes of the visitors are automatically directed to the great colours, no matter how you have combined them!

room colour: emerald green – that’s how stylish a room looks

You are an absolute lover of nature and you definitely don’t want to miss the green around you in your home? No wonder, because the colour green is known to have an extremely calming effect and create a positive atmosphere in the entire living space. It looks lively and inviting, the perfect combination for a harmonious home! The trend colour was already super popular in 2013 and was just about to shine with its unique charisma! Especially the noble subcategory “emerald green”, looks super glamorous, especially in combination with golden details. However, if you want to create an uncomplicated style of living, you should prefer wood elements rather than metallic accents.

But be careful! Be careful to use this colour shade in a targeted manner so that your home doesn’t quickly become dark and cramped. Especially in small living rooms you have to dose the paint carefully! If you have a large sofa or a comfortable armchair in green, we recommend you to choose light shades to achieve a great balance: white, beige and light grey, but also pastel shades are ideal and highlight the It pieces in the trend colour even more! This way you automatically direct the viewers’ field of vision to the eye-catchers in your home. All the better if you can kill two birds with one stone, right? In 2019 and also in 2020 we will gladly combine everything with everything else! So if the it-pieces are also made of velvet at the same time, so much the better! Even the kitchen can be stylishly integrated into your living concept with just a few simple steps! Here too, in the example below, you can see the golden elements ideally implemented.

Everything looks even trendier if you put a picture gallery on the wall! Pictures with black frames are ideal, so you can create a cool look and “emerald green” is also a great wall color and looks very stylish. But also here, enjoy this color nuance with caution! Especially on the walls, whether in the outdoor or indoor area is less clearly more! So that everything appears harmonious and not overloaded, combine here also gladly with bright color nuances and and “cool” literally the total concept somewhat down and create harmony filled premises, with absolute recovery factor!

To make your feel-good atmosphere even more harmonious, go for botanical accessories! Small plants, such as cactuses, but also palms achieve a great effect! They not only look super cool in the overall concept, but also clean the air inside your living room, great side effect. A small tip from us to give your living room the last touch of a botanical garden is a palm wallpaper! Not for everyone, but especially in small rooms it unfolds true wonders and gives a great individual touch! But not only as a piece of furniture, or wall paint is this color nuance applicable. Textiles, such as sofa cushions, or curtains, ceramics and vases look super noble and harmonize great in any living room. The appealing colour tone also radiates clarity and renewal and is therefore the ideal basis for a great living concept on the legs!

Gold & metallic colours for the home

Versatile and beautiful to look at! Yes, we are talking about golden or matallic accessories. The trend of the last and also the coming period! Since they match every style of furnishing and every colour, we love to have them around us like no other detail. Especially gold harmonizes with the whole colour palette and gives a certain warmth to every room! But of course you should use the shining eye-catchers purposefully, so that the furnishing does not look overloaded, but selected It-pieces decorate the living room. No matter whether they are used in wallpaper, as small accents or as embellishments in the bathroom, we love them!

But no matter in which room they are used, they do not only give warmth in combination with different colour categories, they are also real eye-catchers and look good as a vase, toothbrush cup or lamp everywhere! Especially in the simplest, but also most beautiful form, paired with simple beige and innocent white, they catch our eye and set beautiful and stylish accents! So the living room no longer remains just the boring day room, but becomes a real highlight in no time at all! But also on a summery laid table, golden accents, cutlery or tea lights make themselves simply great.

Interior: Blue – the colour that suits everyone

You want to bring a breath of fresh air into your living space and you rely on the colour blue. No matter if azure blue or navy – you can be sure that you will land a real hit with the complete colour palette in blue! Especially on the walls of your living room the cool tone makes itself really super good. So a holiday feeling is definitely pre-programmed! The maritime look brings a breath of fresh air into your home and the combination of sky and sea creates the right harmony. It has a refreshing effect and is intended to promote concentration, which is why it is a popular colour choice for office spaces. However, the shade should be chosen with care. If it is too dark, particularly small rooms will appear even more cramped and will not let the room shine. But apart from that, a room that has such an attractive wall colour can be designed in all variations and to one’s heart’s content. Not only the classic, light colour combinations harmonise here, but also dark berry tones and green nuances. But also make sure that you set a few light accents and make sure that enough daylight illuminates the room. This way you avoid constructing a dark, cramped room and not being satisfied with the result. If you pay attention to these small details, nothing can really go wrong and your room can shine and impress in all possible shades of blue! If you prefer to use blue as a contrast in your bedroom, you will increase your chances of finding a calmer sleep. By the way, of course it looks super classy and stylish! In order to create the holiday flair a little more, we recommend botanical accessories. Lavender or small boxwoods fit perfectly and harmonize great with white accents. Light shades, such as white and beige, let blue shine as the colour tone and thus create a pleasant atmosphere.  Ideally it can also be combined with natural materials, such as wood and rattan, and brought into the Mediterranean style of Greece.

Not only on the walls do blue tones shine and unfold their wonderfully harmonious effect. Especially in the form of small details such as vases, tea lights, but also in kitchen utensils, crockery and glasses, blue is a popular eye-catcher. No wonder! In the most diverse patterns and variations it not only looks stylish, but also has a considerable influence on our eating habits. Not yet known? Yes, blue crockery is said to have an appetite-suppressing effect, while colours such as red, orange or brown are said to stimulate the appetite. No matter how you turn it back and forth, we simply love blue!

White and beige – Natural shades

A trend that never gets boring! The combination of white and natural tones, such as grey and beige, looks timelessly elegant. It creates space and opens up possibilities! But not only new possibilities are opened up by the classic modern room concept, but the entire living area appears very structured and spacious. White as a basis does not bind you to certain specifications, such as colour concepts or wild pattern variations when furnishing your rooms. So you can create a cosy living space in a super uncomplicated way. A clean white, or light beige or grey is also ideally suited as a wall paint! It creates a minimal contrast to the rest of the furniture and accessories in the room and has a positive effect on the perception. It is clean and looks tidy, but never boring or less creative! Because not only colours can always create interesting room creations, but also, for example, individual art objects or designer furniture can create unique living situations. Not infrequently, the stylish and modern furnishing option white-beige is used! Especially in the bedroom the cool nuances create a pleasant atmosphere and bring peace and relaxation into the entire living room! In the other rooms, too, the classic combination with a modern flair creates a harmonious construction. Perfect for the minimalist touch are trendy materials such as linen, rattan and wood, but also metallic details. A high-quality linen bed linen looks noble but simple and fits perfectly.
