HOME COLOR TOP TIPS:

·         The easiest way to keep a color scheme moving from one room to another is to paint your walls a neutral color and carry that color throughout your home. Light and neutral walls are very on-trend right now but they are also a long-time classic! Going light automatically brightens up any room and creates a clean backdrop for home décor.

·         Make sure to learn about primary, secondary, tertiary, and complementary colors on the color wheel.

·         If you love color, go for it! But neutral colors can be the easiest way to go when choosing a color. And it’s easy to introduce another “pop” of color to your home!  

2. Make sure to understand the space and requirements of the room that you wanted to decorate.
Invest in the furniture you love. Take your time when furnishing your home; it will be worth the wait and the price. An item of furniture that matches your home's style would be best since it will add organization to the room.  Not only that but it makes more comfortable lives and uses it for storage, for sitting on, and for sleeping. Going beyond the basics, it is also there to express our sense of style. Not also a bad thing to consider a piece of practical and affordable furniture to design your home. A good designer usually has a stockpile of items to pull from because they buy things they love, whether they can use it in a room right now or not. Also, ditch the idea that you should display your pieces because you spent money on them. If you love them, yes, put them out! If they don’t add anything to your life, give them to a friend who will cherish them instead.  Also, souvenirs and photos bring your personality into the room, and while it’s tempting to spread those personal touches around, designers like to take the opposite approach.

3. Make lighting a top priority. Not only can good lighting prevent theft and accidents, but a proper lighting design can also promote the health and well-being of your eyesight. The purpose of light is to reveal the properties of the objects it collides with. In addition to altering the mood of the occupants in a room. ​ Every room should connect to those around it in some way. . Don't worry though; when decorating rooms, it's easy to make them connect and flow together. 

Note:  Adding or updating your light fixtures is a relatively inexpensive way to add value to your home. Lighting your front and back yards and adding extra illumination around the entrance can improve your home's curb appeal, making it more attractive to buyers and potentially boosting its value.

4. Think creatively. Add some paintings on the walls and make the best one the center of attraction in the area you wanted to put it in. Create eye-catching vignettes this will actually add life to your space.  Don't forget to keep all clutter off the floor. The more floor space you can see, the larger it will appear.​ Understanding how to balance the pieces in your room will give you a “touched by a pro” look. Avoid an imbalanced room by ensuring everything is the right size for your space. To make the most impact in any space, update something that takes up a large number of surface areas like paint color, drapery, area rugs, or the artwork in a gallery wall.

On the other hand, if you are deciding to go with store-bought drapes to dress your windows make sure they at least touch the floor. Better yet let them puddle a little. This will give them an expensive, designer look.  And the higher you can hang them above a window the better. You want drapes to look long and lush and full! Creativity is a way of living life that embraces originality and makes unique connections between seemingly disparate ideas. The most creative people find ways around obstacles because they see them not just as roadblocks but also as opportunities.

Your home interior decor matters because it can influence everything from your mood to your productivity and even your confidence.
