There is no place more important than home.
Whether it’s an apartment or a house, whatever the size, it’s important to feel good when you’re “at home”. Indeed, it is generally the place where your days begin and end. Our home also reflects and influences our state of mind and that is why we must pay close attention to it, particularly when we arrange our personal space.
Some key points:
SHOW YOUR COLOURS!
The major work has begun and you have decided to reinvent your home. EXCELLENT INITIATIVE! Let’s start with the basics. The color of the walls. Try to find a color that suits you and makes you feel comfortable. Generally speaking, we often opt for neutral and soft colors for the main shade: different shades of white will generally do the trick, but if you have a preference for a given color, dare to be original, as long as you choose a soft shade. Indeed, a dark color will tend to make you tense, and in addition, will accumulate heat during temperate summer days, and will heavily darken your decoration. If you want to give character to your home, it is advisable to combine a neutral main color, to a more pronounced secondary color, for plinths, as well as door contours, for example. Finally, two colors will be more than enough and you will thus avoid the “rainbow” effect, which can quickly become overwhelming.
EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE, AND…
…every place has its own thing. Behind this adage lies a principle that is nevertheless essential for the design of any space. To summarize, we advise you to make your space “ergonomic”. There is nothing more pleasant than being able to move freely around your home without having to make “detours”. Even in terms of interior design, you need to think about your most traveled routes, then clear these routes of any obstacles that might make you sigh in exasperation or annoyance. Once this is done, look at the points of illumination in your room. Take a whole day to note the different times and levels of illumination of the sun, then get an idea of the arrangement you would like for your furniture. Imagine all the possible scenarios solo, or when you receive guests. Generally speaking, a refined layout, with the bare minimum of elements, will work miracles and, what’s more, it will leave you ample freedom to add or remove elements easily if you feel like it. Don’t hesitate to do a little recycling and DIY to add an even more personalized touch to your environment.
CREATE WINDOWS!
What do I mean by that? No, no, don’t worry, it’s not a question of making holes in your walls to let in even more rays of the sun. I’m talking, of course, about hanging pictures on your walls. This is something very personal and there are no precise rules for decorating your room with paintings. Just know that you will be able to play on many more factors with these. Whether it’s the size, colors, patterns, number, it’s up to you. A clever mix of all these parameters will not only reflect your personality to guests, but will help you feel more at home. Sometimes a unique painting in a room will provide a focal point of attention,
In conclusion, grab your brushes and your tools! You will be happy with the end result!
