Home Designing

When we redesign our home or design an alternative space, we tend to get carried away. With the use of unlimited suggestions and choices available, we wind up either with too much or an absence of what we first planned. Here are a few tips on what not to indulge in while adorning your dream house. 

Too much perfection is for museums not your space.  While you want your property to look beautiful and appealing, remember that trying to achieve too much perfection will make you end up living uncomfortably in your own home. Let it look 'lived in' even if it means some "out of place" messiness. Allow your own house to be inviting for you and for your guests. Stick to your decision but it won’t hurt if you listen to some suggestions though. After all, it is your own property. Remember, do not try to follow each and every suggestion that comes before you decide. You can ask help and advice from others if your need to. However, always be your very best judge and decide on what you want for your home, even if it means not having the most contemporary items. You might want to remain faithful to your roots. 


Don't set off haywire with paints. The color of the walls and home more or less defines the look of the house. It's a very critical decision and may not be taken based on a small chip of color. Paint a small patch to your wall before you finally decide on any color. Check the color in natural light together with your evening lamps. It is not really necessary that your favorite color would best suit your home. Find a way to add your favorite color in different sections of the house. Decide the mood of each room before you chose a color. A bright color for the kids play room, a relaxing color for a bedroom and a peaceful but interesting color for your living room are some good choices. Of course, you must think of your furniture to look good with the paint. Its always allows you chose the paints last, after you have deciding on the other components entrance.


Don't overindulge in trends. While it is not advisable to go for cheap ones and buy extra attractive furniture piece based on its eye pleasing colors or style. It is also not recommended to get expensive trendy pieces by going overboard your budget. Look for interesting styles and lines that suit your rooms as trends come and go. Look for pieces that can go on for a little bit. To gratify your trend loving instinct, add accessories (lamps/vases/artifacts) and rugs that will totally change the look of your room without making a hole in your pocket.


Furniture placed in groups on the centre gives your room an aura of warmth and friendliness rather then arranging it everywhere in different locations. If you have a large room, you can have cluster pieces of furniture with regards to conversations and seating. Don't decorate your room with mismatched household furniture. In case you have many different furniture pieces, always arrange them in a way that an area should have matching pieces rather than crowd of varied components. You can paint or even change the furniture of odd pieces to make them go with the overall look. However at times, a few contrasting components might present a unique enhancement to the room. Think about it carefully on what goes well with each other. 


Don't just increase; learn to remove as well.
Just because you have a certain piece for so many years, it doesn't mean it’s still appealing enough. Learn to clear away things that have been there for such a long time. You can move it to another room or just stack them away for a little bit. Alternatively, try and refresh your furnishings by transforming the colors. 

Don't overindulge in exhibit of personal valuables. While it’s fine to come up with a few family photographs and some memoirs in the form of antiques, don't make your rooms a display section of your past memories. Especially, avoid displaying a great deal of your own pictures. 


Don't forget that little additions make a big difference. It may be the grand furnishings that decide the structural appeal of your space, it's your little accessories that enhance the complete ambience and add some your personality to your personal property. Add small interesting sections like table linens, dishware, glassware, sconces, roses, lamps, vases, artifacts, plants and also other ornamental bits. Adorn your rooms using splashes of color and combine it with good taste. It's worth of an additional effort.


Don't go for more when less is fine. At times one small bit of jewelry can attract more attention compared to a fully jeweled dramatic look. The same goes for decorating your space. Too many good things can really be too much. Don't cover your space with various things that end up looking being a zoo rather than your house. Add a little of this and a little of that but do not place too many variations of colors, materials, metals, wallpapers or silver leafs. Make sure to use less but elegant items to add to the 'feel good' factor to your house.
