Your home should be the place where you find comfort after a stressful day. But for your home to be a peaceful escape, it needs to be a reflection of you. Home decorating is all about individuality – finding the items that best represent who you are.
A well decorated home will increase your overall wellbeing. The proper combination of colors, furniture, and frills should dramatically impact your lifestyle for the better. Not only will you feel more comfortable at home, but you’ll also feel more comfortable inviting others to your home – an essential ingredient for a good social life.
The first step in developing a home decorating plan is deciding whether you are traditional or contemporary.
Traditional décor is usually based around a color scheme of rusty, bronze, or warm tones. Traditional elements include:
- Wooden furniture
- Antiques and antique furniture
- Ornate cushions and throws
- Heavy curtains
- Accent walls
- Oil paintings
- Decorative mirrors
- Hanging Plants
Alternatively, contemporary décor is based on cooler colors and/or heavily contrasting tones. Contemporary elements include:
- Minimalist furniture
- Light Curtains
- Show pieces
- Modern art
- Piano finished furniture
- Small potted plants
- Multi-colored walls within a room
Try to visualize each of the above items in your home. If you can visualize the scene easily, the item probably fits your style. Make a note of the items you’re most interested in and keep a list for each group – majority wins.
So are you traditional or contemporary?
