Ideas for Turning Your House into a Home

[dianasteve]

Turning a house into an emotion, in which you have the feeling of warmth and togetherness, is an art, and requires proper planning and outlining a strategy that would be effective for making your home a ‘Sweet Home’!

Whether you are planning to build a new abode or want a quick makeover for your existing one – in either case, not only do you require proper architectural planning, but you also need to have that sense of prudence for making everything just perfect! For that you need to follow some expert advice given by any recognised interior designing service providing company.

Following are some useful tips that would guide you while planning interior designing for your home

1. Paint smaller rooms, especially the living room in softer and lighter colours.

Also make the windows larger and in such a direction which allows enough sunlight to light up your room and make it brighter. This would make your room look larger. Darker colours might make the room appear smaller which affects your psychology by making you feel that you are being crumpled in a small space.

2. Use mirrors to your advantage.

According to expert advice from professional companies rendering interior designing service, you should place a large mirror opposite a window to double the amount of natural light and open up a room. Also, use decorative mirrors to add instant light to your living room.

3. Arrange your seating area in a U-shape.

And if possible, make it at a platform slightly lower than the other rooms. It will invite conversation and keep it going. Also, always invest a little in making your sofas extra comfy.

4. Make the table the brightest spot in your drawing room.

This is a pro-tip suggested by many interior designing service providing companies.

5. Place your furniture low-slung, so that the rooms appear taller.

Any good interior designing service provider would advise you this and you must abide by it so as to see positive outcomes.

6. Put decorative knick-knacks here and there.

Such as wall-hangings, paintings, antique picture frames, framed mirrors, antique objects, etc. it will add charm and increase the aesthetic of your rooms.

So are you ready to invest a little in turning your dream home into a reality? A little prudent decision made now will secure your whole future. Afterall, “Home is where the Heart is!”

I partly disagree. A ''home'' can grow bit by bit and does not need to be planned right from the beginning. As we ourselves develop, our place can do the same. Sure, there are people with poor creativity or imagination, and they need some outside input. But a REAL home reflects the person dwelling in it - even if it appears to be ramshackle to outsiders. I know myself best, and so I trust my own style more than any other person. Being an ''out-of-the-box'' person, I don't believe that any ''in-the-box-designer'' will be able to give me a home. I don't believe that there is any ''expert'' for my own and individual taste.

Have plants around your home, use brownish colours around, have candles set in your living room, bedrooms and bathroom, hang a big picture of a painting and a clock that matches your living room, and wall pictures of your family or something personal to you. Try not to use to much whiteness, except in your bedroom as it creates coolness... in your bedroom its ok, bc thats where your going to snuggle yourself and be really feel like home. Thats my way of creating something personal and inviting for my family and guest! Enjoy decorating your own personal home. Cheers.

I knew number one and it certainly does change the tone of a room depending on the color. I didn't know about the rest but now I'll take them into account.

If you have a smaller house, get "apartment scale" furnishings to make the whole place appear bigger. You can change your accent colors with the season if you stick to neutrals for most of your painting. I sew different color pillow shams and just change them with the season.

There are some good ideas here. And people need to realize that these are options, not the only possible ideas.

A house isn't a home without a cat.
