How Do You Decorate Your House?

How do you decorate your house? If you’re like most people, you probably hang a few pictures and call it good. However, did you know that your home’s decor can have a significant impact on your mood and emotions?

By learning more about the psychology of interior design, you can create a space that promotes happiness, comfort, and relaxation.

Choose a few full-size furniture pieces instead of cramming in lots of smaller ones:

When you’re decorating a room, it can be tempting to load up on small furniture and decor pieces. But you can actually make a room feel more spacious by choosing a few carefully selected larger items instead.

In this living room, a single large armchair, a sofa, and a coffee table create a cozy seating area without making the room feel crowded.

A few carefully chosen decor pieces, like a large piece of wall art and a few decorative pillows, add personality to the space without overwhelming it.

Fill empty space with a few carefully chosen accessories

When you move into a new house, or even if you’re just looking to redecorate a room, it can be hard to see past the empty space. But don’t feel like you need to fill up every corner of your home.

Instead, take your time and choose a few special accessories that will make your house feel like a home.

Some of our favorite accessories to use when decorating include:

• A large area rug to add color, texture, and pattern to a room.

• A pair of table lamps to add height, light, and color to a room.

• A few throw pillows to add comfort, color, and pattern to a room.

• A large piece of art to add color, pattern, and personality to a room.

Don’t be afraid to use color

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I love color! I think it’s such a great way to make a space feel like home.

Don’t be afraid to use color in your home. If you’re not a fan of bright colors, you can use more muted tones like blush or sage green.

If you want to use a bright color but are afraid of it being too much, you can use it as an accent color. Use it in a throw pillow, vase, or artwork. With bright colors, less is usually more!

Create a feature wall

If you’re not ready to commit to painting your walls, consider a feature wall. This is a great way to add a pop of color or pattern to a room without having to paint the entire space.

You can also use a feature wall to create a focal point in the room. Hang a large piece of art, a mirror, or a gallery wall to draw attention to the wall and make it the star of the space.

Use mirrors to create the illusion of space

Mirrors can be used to make a room feel bigger and lighter. They can also be a focal point in a room, creating a statement in a space that doesn’t have much else going on.

In the living room, you could position a mirror above the fireplace, or in the bedroom, you could use a large leaning floor mirror that will also help you get dressed in the morning.

Choose furniture that can do double duty

When you’re working with a small space, you want to make sure that everything you bring in is adding value to the room. If you’re adding furniture to a room, make sure that it can do double duty.

For example, in a small bedroom, you could use a dresser as a nightstand, or a desk could double as a vanity in a living room, a storage ottoman could double as a coffee table or extra seating.

Invest in some good storage solutions

Even if you don’t have a lot of stuff, it’s important to have a place to put the things you do have. That’s why you should invest in some good storage solutions for your home.

From closets and cabinets to built-in shelving and storage ottomans, there are so many ways to add storage to your home. And the more storage you have, the less clutter you’ll have to deal with.
