Cool decorating tricks for your home

The right decor can turn a room from eh to totally energising.

Turn Up the Heat
Warm colours, like red, yellow, and orange, naturally radiate vibrant, cheerful vibes that get your blood pumping and make you optimistic. Scatter the sunny shades around.

Feel Good
A mix of cosy textures (such as a fuzzy pillow and soft throw) can make the difference between a flat, one dimensional space and a lively, dynamic one. Plus, they make your pad blissfully comfortable.

Show Off Fond Memories
To feel instantly lifted, surround yourself with objects that are important to you, like a bunch of colourful pottery vases you found on a road trip.

Start a Movement
Certain patterns (zigzags, polka dots) create visual energy and motion. Utilise them to invigorate your rooms- even team them up with pieces that actually move, like this chandelier.

Be Bold
Subtlety doesn't boost your spirits the way a statement does. But you don't have to go overboard. A small grouping of images (whatever you have and love) framed and prominently placed can have more impact than a crowded wall of less distinct art.

Show off your prizes: If you have a good collection of high quality coock ware, good kitchen appliances like microwaves, ovens, blenders etc, do not just stack them away, but display them on shelves where they look nice and come handy too!
