Tips to liven up your home décor:
Add plants to the mix
Indoor plants can be a great way to brighten up your home. Living plants can improve moods and boost creativity, according to research. The plants add color to your home and remove toxins. Plants in the home improve the quality of air because they remove carbon dioxide and emit oxygen.
You can add plants to your home in many different ways. For example, you could hang plants or place them on a decorative plant ladder. Or, perhaps, have a windowbox of herbs and small plants in your kitchen. There are many options.
Fake plants are a great option for those who don’t have the greenest of thumbs or travel frequently. Fake plants may not provide the same benefits for air quality, but they can brighten a room.
Use light-colored furniture and decor
Most people are unaware of how the color of furniture can affect the brightness of their homes. White couches are ideal for making a room appear brighter and more lively. However, many people worry that they will get dirty, or have pets in the house. Find a lighter couch, such as a light gray or blue to create the atmosphere you want.
Installing light-wood colored hardwood floors is a great home improvement project. A lighter colored area rug is a simpler solution. To achieve the same effect, you can use small decor items such as light-colored bookshelves and lamps.
Use Decorative Items for a Purpose
It’s essential to plan ahead when adding smaller decorative items. If you place your figurines, books and other items in a room without a purpose, the room will look cluttered and be more difficult to clean.
Try to create a theme by arranging items such as tarot cards candles on a table along with a unique piece of crystal. On your mantel, you can display a photography book or a collection of hand-picked Polaroids with family and friends. Choose a theme and select a few items you love. Pair them with other items of the same style. Avoid clutter by not going overboard.
Let your personality shine through
It doesn’t matter how many light colors and lighter floors you add to a space, it won’t look like home. If you focus on adding only light colors, it can create a bland, lifeless room. It’s therefore important to incorporate elements from your own personality and lifestyle into your decor.
This can be done with things like framed pictures of yourself and your family or art that reflects your personal style. Bring your favorite books into common areas such as the dining room or living room to make them part of the décor. If you have a mystical side to your personality, a customized birth chart is a great conversation starter and will set your home apart.
Accentuate the room
There are ways to brighten a room without compromising the color scheme you like. Find ways to add light accents in contrast with darker walls, floors or curtains. Consider an accent wall. It is a technique where one wall is painted in a different colour to the rest. This gives the room a pop of color and can be used to balance dark grays or blues.
You can brighten the room by using small accents like white lampshades or light colored knickknacks. Dark wall colors can be contrasted with light artwork.
Makeover Your Home Quickly
It’s easy to brighten up your home by adding some fun, light items. Lighting up a space is easy and quick with light-colored furniture, curtains, and artwork. Add a little personality to your room with your unique book collection, or an astrology birth chart personalized for your coffee-table.
Another great option is indoor plants. Fake plants are a great alternative if you do not want to care for real ones. Look at other people’s homes for inspiration and use it to decorate your home.
