A complete absence of accent colours can have a dampening effect on anyone’s mood, particularly when exposed to for a long period of time. When having a neutral shade as a base tone, use a more vibrant colour as an accent. 

You can use colourful cushions, small rug or a chair to induce this accent shade. You may also consider painting the feature wall in a complementary tone as well.

Power of pendant lighting

Ignoring the power of pendant lighting would be a big mistake. These fixtures have immense capabilities of beautifying any room by their mere presence. They will also keep your interior sufficiently illuminated without any extra effort on your part.

Complementary fabric colours

Make sure the upholstery is in harmony with the curtains, rugs and cushion covers. In case of your bedroom, try to have colour coordination between the bed furnishings and curtains. 

You can match or contrast the tones, but follow a scheme in mind for every corner of your home. A chaotic colour palette does not create a relaxing ambience.

Decorate your shelves, table tops and dressers

Decorate your shelves and table tops with table lamps, candles, potted plants, vases full of fresh flowers or simple decorative pieces. However, never clutter them with a lots of objects. 

Do not leave your bedroom dressers or hall tables untended. Spruce them up in similar fashion as well.

Indirect lighting

Highlight particular areas with hidden LED or ambient lighting. This successfully engages the attention to an attractive object in the room and hides some of the flaws of the space. 

Invest in mirrors with backlit panels, headboard with hidden LEDs or cabinets with lighting underneath. However, use this sparingly to avoid making the interiors overly dramatic.

Prominent artwork

Use prominent artworks to beautify the interiors. This could be a large framed photograph captured by you or a landscape painted by you. You may even frame beautiful hand embroidered tapestries to decorate the walls. Instead of buying poor reproductions of famous artworks, always invest in exclusive pieces. 

You will find plenty of artworks created by local artists that are well within your budget. Visit local galleries and artisanal shops for exclusive pieces as well.

Design based on a simple theme

Think of a theme and design your rooms based on that. It could be something that you feel very inspiring, a place which you love visiting to or the ongoing season. 

You could even decorate your rooms based on your favourite hotel. The sources are literally endless, but choose only those that have a positive impact on your mind.

Colour up your bookshelves

If you value your books, you cannot simply ignore looking after your bookshelves. As soon as it starts to look dated, give it a fresh coat of paint. This is a small diy task which you may perform yourself during any of your weekends or holidays.

Consider using two tones to create a striking look. You may choose two completely different but complementary shades or a darker and lighter shade of the same hue.

Terrace décor

Give your terrace or tiny balcony a refreshing makeover. Install a sundeck, make appropriate seating arrangements. When the space is really on a shorter side, just spread a beautiful sisal rug on the floor and throw a few cushions on it. Do not forget to decorate the area with beautiful plants and suitable lighting. 

Cherish the views of the surroundings as and when you manage to steal sometime from your daily routine and thoroughly enjoy living in a cosy home.
