Home Decor: Maintaining balance and harmony

And I call it my home, which I crave after a long day at work—just heading towards my little space, cooking dinner, snuggling in my bed and binge-watching some good old movies.

Almost everyone has dreamed of having an apartment that would be their little safe place. And decorating the house will make it look more appealing, complete and memorable. But it must be remembered that while decorating a house, balance and harmony between everything are essential to enhance the house's beauty and make it suitable for the person.

Home decor is upgrading a house with different elements and making it look aesthetically pleasing so people can enjoy the space.

How people decorate their houses tells us a lot about their personalities and tastes. Generally, before decorating a home, we start by choosing a theme. Then, according to that, elements are selected based on the space, and a complete framework is constructed to create a desired result.

Components are required to decorate the whole house based on the chosen theme and room type. Elements should be selected to balance everything and are distributed to every room.

Some key elements include

• Furniture
• Textiles (Curtains, rugs, table mat, bed sheets)
• Lighting (Both natural and artificial)
• Colour palette
• Wall Decor(Mirrors, shelves, wall hanging, painting)
• Plants

Furniture

The space available in a room will help you determine the preferred size of furniture because you don't want your room to look overcrowded or small.

This includes a sofa, chairs, tables, shelves for the living room and bed, a dressing table, a bookshelf, and a wardrobe for the bedroom. Proper furniture layout and design will not only look soothing but also improve its functionality.

Lighting

Lighting is crucial to good home decor because it brings positivity, joy, and refreshing energy to our bodies and minds. Both artificial and natural lighting are vital as they can instantly set up a mood and allow you to focus on specific spaces in a room.

A bedroom with a balcony or windows can provide natural light in the morning to start an energetic day. In contrast, small windows in the kitchen can give sunlight in and out and work intensely for ventilation. Chandeliers, modern, warm lights, and lamps can change the room's atmosphere in the living room or dining area.

Color Palette

Depending on the room, a colour scheme will help you choose the right furniture and other decorative items.

A too-light or white room will make it boring, and a too-dark room will make it look mysterious and shabby.

If light-coloured walls are used, use dark-coloured furniture to complement the room's look. Also, good lighting, room-size textures, and patterns used on the wallpaper can affect the room's overall ambience.

Textile

Curtains, rugs, and carpets with different textures and patterns will add volume and complete a room's look. The type of materials, design, and colour will determine what you want to achieve.

Curtains will help maintain privacy and increase the flow of natural lighting into the room, whereas a rug beside the bed or a big fur carpet in the living room can enhance the house's visual appearance.

Wall Decor

Your house might feel too simple without furniture, curtains, and rugs. Decorative items can add a bit of colour and make it pop, adding personality and improving the appeal of a room.

Paintings, art pieces, handmade products, clocks, mirrors, bookshelves, etc., can be excellent choices. This is where you can customise and decorate your home based on your style and imagination.

Plants

Using plants or any floral arrangement with decorative vases can enhance the overall look of a room, and plants can provide freshness and relaxation.

It is essential to know different plant types for indoor and outdoor cultivation, depending on your room, size, and placement. A pro tip to lift your mood is growing your plants on the balcony, on shelves or in your garden. By taking care of your plants properly, you can enhance the greenery of your surroundings, giving your area a calm and soothing vibe.

Importance of home decor

There might be questions like, "Is it necessary to decorate a house?" "What is the point of even decorating it when all you are doing to do is just live there?" The answer might be correct, but ultimately, it is the 'home' we all strive for. So, making it more lively and welcoming will allow us to enjoy our personal life. Not only do we decorate it, but we also showcase our personality and give our best life into it.

With the right furniture, textures, and colours, a house's surroundings and cosiness can be well balanced, and positive energy can be generated.

Poor lighting, colours, and shabby furniture are not suitable for a person's mental and physical health, so proper areas, bright lighting systems, and colourful variations in the walls need to be focused on for a more open and airy space.

A well-organised house can assist in relaxing our minds and relieving our stress. Proper natural sunlight, good ventilation, and the correct use of space promote stress reduction and relaxation of the body and the family's well-being.

Every decoration piece used should contribute to creating the house's beauty. When surrounded by the beauty you have made, it speaks about you, your creativity, and your inspiration.

Not only does it transform the house into 'our home,' but it upgrades the ambience and beauty, providing a more calm and functional place with an aesthetic welcoming environment.
