Get some invaluable home décor tips for your home…

So, you have finally moved into your brand new apartment. You next big challenge is to focus on the home décor. What exactly is décor? Décor includes the layout and the furnishings of the interiors of the house. Right from how you space the furniture to how you arrange the antique pieces to how you hang the paintings on the wall and the colour of the walls and curtains  as well as the use of light; all come under the ambit of home décor. 

Remember, décor is not about beauty and aesthetic appeal alone. It is also about the space and positive energy inside your home. In this piece on home décor, we focus on two important aspects viz. selecting the paint for your walls and laying out your furniture.

What you need to take care while painting your house…

A very important part of your interior décor is the way you paint your house. Of course, it is also best to get a professional consultant to give you an idea of the painting options. Here are a few basic things you need to consider:

•Make it a point to pick the paint colour last. Once your furniture is set and your carpets are laid, you will get a much better idea of how well the wall paint will go with your interiors. 

•You have to actually simulate by painting a part of your wall and juxtaposing it with your interiors. Don’t go by your painter’s ideas. There is nothing like seeing the real thing.

•When you paint the walls, your focus should be on shades and not on colours. If your sofas are brown in colour, then one shade of yellow may look great but another shade of yellow may look out of place. Focus on the actual granular shade rather than just the colour.

•Test colours based on light streaming. A paint shade that looks great when outside light streams in may look too dark when you switch on the CFL lights. These are minor issues but they matter.

•Lastly, colour of walls can give a sense of space. Dark colours make the room look smaller. Try a combination of 3 walls with light shades and 1 wall with dark shade to get a better emphasis on the size of your room.

Furniture in the room must actually make it roomy…

The key to arranging your furniture is to allow as much space as possible. Gracious living refers to having enough space to move around the house instead of stuffing it with too much furniture. Whether you are furnishing your living room or your bedroom, ensure that there is enough space to move around. Decide your budget and spend on fewer but higher quality furniture rather than on too much furniture. Try to put a high backed chair or sofa in the corner of the room to highlight its presence. It makes the room look more spacious and elegant. For a more relaxed ambiance try to include greenery into your living room design, either, as a background or as interior plants.
