Own house means a lot to all of us. Today we have many options in terms of architecture, style, interiors which enable us to build a dream home for ourselves.
For me, my home is everything. It is place for me to retreat and relax with family. I always had interest of interior decoration and this interest grew up more after I bought my house last year. I like ethnic.
Here are few tips based on my experience which might help in making your house a home:
- Decide on the theme: Before you start decorating or buying things make sure you have your requirement clear. Consult with your family members and based on your taste, hobby and anything that reflects real you should be represented through your décor.
- Lighten up the space: Natural sunlight is best source to light which gives lot of space to your room. Keep the windows open to let in fresh air and adequate sunlight. Make sure your house is well ventilated and uses day light efficiently.
- Paint your room: Work on various combinations of colors you can choose for your house. For living room choose vibrant colors like orange, green, yellow etc. For bedroom go for subtle, calm colors. Kid’s room should be more vibrant and match their playful nature. Don’t hesitate to choose your favorite color and make sure every room reflects your needs and personality. Google is best source to get some ideas and inspiration.
- Minimize furniture: Keep minimum furniture enabling easy movement and space around. Make sure your furniture matches or in contrast with wall colors, curtains etc. If you have chance to re-use any old furniture then try doing it.
- Wall decoration: Go for some exotic wall décor with paintings, family photo gallery, ethnic wall pieces etc. This adds richness and elegance to otherwise boring walls.
- Funishings: Curtains should match the furniture around. Any mismatch will damage the look. Bedspreads, Deewan cot covers etc should match with other interiors. They add more glamour to the room.
- Miscellaneous:
- If you want to have a show case at your home, then collect some good dolls and other ethnic wear which can enrich your taste. If you are travelling to any place on work or for vacation, buy something that is related to the place and bring them home to your showcase. This will definitely add to your taste of home décor.
- Use of table runners, candle holders, wall clock, lighting, book shelves, wall units etc can add more to your dream home.
- Fresh Flora: If you a have a patio/balcony then bring in some flower pots, bamboos etc to create sense of revival and rejuvenation. Try developing gardening skills in that little space you have.
