Remember the first time you moved into your place? The walls
are bare, the carpets smell of soap from the cleaners you overpaid to have them
shampooed, and the entire place screams promise, a promise of good times ahead
and perhaps a few too many late nights binge watching Netflix on your hand me down
couch. After a while, you hang some photos, assemble those Ikea end tables, and
order an Etsy monogrammed cutting board to display in your kitchen. You`ll be
smiling as soon as you walk into your house. When you pass by their photo, you
are reminded of happy memories, and the sight of the new slipcover on your hand
me down couch makes you feel a little fancy.
What is the significance of this procedure? The way we
decorate our homes allows us to create the kind of environment we want, and it
reveals a lot about our personalities. Are you an extrovert who arranges as
many chairs as possible to bring everyone together, or an introvert who creates
the ideal reading nook? Everything from the colors you choose to the number of
throw pillows you place on the sofa is an opportunity to create an environment
in which you and your loved ones will thrive and leave a lasting impression.
With simple color schemes, you can create a calming environment, a cozy and
inviting home with warm tones, or a bright and lively entertaining area with
bold patterns.
Why Home Decor Is Important?
Home décor is basic because it influences everything from
our self perception to our confidence and productivity. So, if a new throw
pillow or piece of art makes you happy, go ahead and buy it. You`re not
treating yourself; instead, you`re creating an environment in which you can be
your best self.
Home décor can affect us physically in addition to
expressing ourselves. Do you light a scented candle in your home office to set
the tone for a productive day, or do you keep a lavender scented sachet with
your sheets to make them smell like bedtime Scents can influence mood and
productivity through associative learning. People who worked in the presence of
a pleasant smelling air freshener, for example, reported higher self efficacy,
set higher goals and were more likely to use efficient work strategies than
those who worked in an odor free environment.
Brighten Every Nook and Corner
Pay Attention to Your Windows
The right size of the window can make or break a room.
Combining small patterns can be more pleasing to the eye.
Bookshelf Arrangement Matters
Home library should be a stunning contemporary take on
traditional design from the inky stained wood to the modern side chair and
clean lined ladder. Fill it with books, or add decor accents and accessories
like vases and sculptures to break up the monotony of a wall of books.
Alternatively, color coordinate your books. It will feel more cohesive, but if
you have a lot of bright colors in your collection, they will stand out even
more.
Start Your Morning With A View
What about breakfast with a view? We`re all in. This one is country chic, a little rustic, but still polished. It also demonstrates that you don`t need a built in nook to achieve the desired effect.
Slick Up Your Entrance
Introduce a small console table if you don`t have a grand
foyer or if you do but it needs some TLC. You may select a traditional table
also hang modern abstract art above it for a formal yet modern look. You can
also hang some portraits on the gallery wall.
Add A Sheepskin Throw
Sheepskin throws are the simplest solution for any room in
your home that is feeling sparse. They add warmth, texture, and comfort while
also being very affordable and easy to move around your space as your needs
change.
Throw Pillows Works Like Magic
Throw pillows are the simplest way to spruce up a bedroom or
living room. Introducing a new color, print, or shape with a throw pillow can
refresh the entire space.
Small Room Makes Huge Impression
When a room is so small, it`s easy to overlook it,
especially when there isn`t enough usable space for décor. It is, however,
possible—and well worth the effort—to show these nooks some love.
Get Inspired By Nature
Get inspired by nature to create an inviting and grounded
environment. You can use the following materials: sea grass, rattan, jute,
wood, brushed concrete, and marble.
Keep It Tidy And Clean
This is probably not what you want to hear because we don`t
consider cleaning up to be fun, but adding a few pieces that help with an
organization can make a big difference. Installing coat hooks or bringing in a
stylish coat rack coat by the front door are both options. Then, underneath it,
place a small folding chair to sit on while you remove your shoes. This will
help to avoid the dreaded and previously unavoidable clothing pileups.

tips will come in handy. Remember that decorating is a process, so take your
time and enjoy the ride.
