Relaxing by Applying Personal Touches to Your Home
Regarding the professional redecorating of your home, not everyone has the means to gather top teams of architects and interior and exterior designers.
If it is true that "the heart is where the home is" then anyone can make a perfect living space themselves without paying any attention to stereotypes, rules and trends.
Keep that dose of traditionalism that gives a feeling of security and warmth and combine it with the spirit of refreshingly new ideas.
Details that express your personality can bring life and original detail to your home.
Colors will also do wonders.
Working rooms will keep the concentration focused if the walls are painted in strong colors, while rooms for family and friendly gatherings could be in gentle pastels for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for everyone.
Old chairs and couches can be easily brightened up with new scatter cushions.
The point is to let your imagination express itself in your personal living space.
Redecorating does not have to be tiresome, boring or enormously expensive.
Thinking on all the upheaval created by workmen and decorators invading your personal space, creating a sense of uneasiness as they invade your home, why not tackle home projects yourself? Why should anyone want to intentionally expose the privacy of their home to strangers? Some old furniture, inherited or forgotten in the attic can fit in perfectly with your new décor scheme if you are willing to apply a new coat of paint.
Why not add that vase from the yard sale with a lovely bouquet of flowers from the garden? If the hallway is dark - how about adding a tall standing lamp to add to the ambience with soft lighting.
If you are having trouble with a small room - piece of cake - just placing a mirror on the wall will visually enlarge the space.
As to the opposite, a large room can be divided by handmade screens.
Choosing simple modest lines and shapes can never be a mistake because that way there will always be a place for additional details that truly define the essence of your home.
Whatever style of decoration you choose for your home, the guiding star for your choices should be the people living in it.
