HERE are some tips on how to make your surrounding scream love. Make sure that you have items that feel personal and collected.
Portraying your personality make your home look beautiful and the atmosphere will be filled with love.
With great inspiration there are so many different themes that homeowners can decipher. Themes like “white, welcoming and airy” or styles like “modern and traditional.” When you let those guide you, you could put a personal flair on them that felt natural to you.
The good thing these days is that you can get inspirations from various places such the internet.
Collection of old pictures hanged on your walls is a clear indication of a home filled with love.
A vintage candle holder, a small brass tray and some more brass items scream collected items.
Set the mood of the space. Create a place to unwind with family and friends that is clutter free. Creating a peaceful space means neutral tones and minimal decor but warmth is an important element as well.
Live plants also make a space feel lived in, and homely.
Items like baskets, a woven rug, rattan chairs, worn woods, and throws all in a neutral tone keep the room calm and cosy.
Make the space work for you. Your sitting space should create a conversational area by just looking at it. A sectional couch or a big comfy ottoman will be perfect for creating adequate space for the family to watch television.
Create the space for ultimate comfort first and style second. Guide your design with your top goals for the space in mind.
However, you can also have a formal living room. Colourful books line the built in shelves. That keeps our family room a respite!
Try not to concentrate more on sticking to a particular style. If an element goes with your personality and you love it, go for it.
Think of creating a home with love. You have to start somewhere and then add and subtract until you are feeling the space.
