We all leave our own imprint on the home we live in and studies have shown that our moods and lifestyles are greatly dependent on how the home is decorated and furnished. For example if the rooms in the house are clean and neat looking, along with them being welcoming and homey, our mood is usually happier and we live also healthier, more stress free and more content lives. Here are a few home decor tips that should get you started in making your home more appealing and welcoming.
First ensure that there is a center point, a focal point in the room. When you enter the room, there should be something that immediately attracts the eye, something that he eye is right away drawn to. This can be anything of interest, an indoor fountain, a wall painting, an art figurine, a gorgeous lamp, anything that can enhance the decor of the room.
Use only positive colors in the rooms where you spend the most of your time at home. You want to have colors that give you positive energy at all times, so you can easily forget the stress from work and leave all that behind you.
When you look at the furniture, the pieces should match well with each other. Not only that but they should be just right for the place they are in. A small room calls for some small spotlights, while a huge room can easily adapt a chandelier lamp. Getting that proper balance between the size of the room and the accent pieces and the furniture can be at times a tricky business, but it’s worth spending your time getting it right the very first time. All the items need to show that they are belonging where they are placed at all times.
When it comes to lighting, proper illumination is crucial in setting the right tone for the actual room. It is very easy to install a dimmer switch and connect it either to a wall sconce or to a nearby placed floor lamp and increase it or dim it based on the time of day or season of the year.
