Decorating your Home

Your home is an extension of you and portrays your taste and personality. If you feel it’s time to upgrade or transform your interior, look for inspiration on social media or in home magazines. All you need is time, energy and some money.

Decorating your home, will not only make your place feel more comfortable and warm but also bring more structure into your home space. Check out my other posts on how to decorate with Colours, Wall Art, Lighting and Houseplants.

Follow these Decorative Tips to make your Home more Inviting.

Stick to a Theme: The consistency of colours and style helps the objects relate to each other and the rest of your home.
Colour Selections: Items should complement or match the existing colour scheme of your room.
Colour Repetition: If you introduce a new colour, repeat the colour in the room.
Create Contrast: Use different colours, object shapes, patterns and designs for contrast.
Group Items: Use uneven numbers when creating a group of objects.
Less is More: Don’t clutter your tables or shelves with too many items.
