Accessorising your living room with Throw pillows

Hello friends,

Throw pillows are essential in adding up colour in the home. They brighten the sofa and create  cosy and comfortable ambiance in the living room. With different sizes and shapes which could be rectangle, square, cylinder and so on, throw pillows are a must have in every home. They are  also  covered in fabrics such as ankara, ruffles, pattern, silk etc

Creating creative living rooms

 Your living room should be arranged to suit your personality and taste. Living room design varies from home to home depending on the purpose. Some people use their living rooms as showrooms to entertain visitors or simply for family gathering. Arranging and decorating your living room needs that extra effort to make it stand out. You need to pay attention to your walls, rugs, tiles, curtains, furnitures and other things you want in your home. Complement should be your watchword

Here are quick tips to help you arrange your living room

Establish your focal point, its an area in the room that deserves attention such as the fireplace, television or artwork

                                     

Establish the major part of the room and arrange furnitures accordingly. If your living room is small then it is better you rest your furnitures on the wall.  Where you have a spacious living room then arrange furniture in a particular space to aid conversation

Leave room for free movement; create enough space for people to walk around furnitures. If your living room is large you may decide to arrange a coffee table

Get side tables to ensure comfort  if centre table is not within reach put one on each side of the sofa if there is space. Side tables should be the same length with the arm of the chair to ensure easy access




Accessorize the living room with throw pillows, artwork and vases

Complement colours resist the urge to match colours; your curtains, rugs, furnitures, artwork should complement one another

Choosing Wall Colours

Hello friends, 
There are hundreds of paint colours to choose for your inner world. From your kitchen to the living room, bedroom, balcony and even your restrooms, your choice of paint colours play a major role in the overall outlook of your home

Depending on the mood you want to create in your home colours give you the platform to express yourself 

                                                    


Here are 3 simple tips to choose your paint colours

• Know your colour; Colours can be therapeutic, comforting, elegant depending on what you want to achieve in your home. What are your favorite colours? Do you like bright colours? What do colours do to your psyche? Does it affect your mood? Do you want a comfortable or cosy home? Your answers would help you reach a decision
• Find inspiration; what colours motivates you and reflect your unique taste and personality? Go through the colours and make your choice
• Create harmony; think of a well coordinating colour. If you want more than one colour in your home then you need to choose them carefully. Paint wall to complement furniture in the living room, beddings in the bedroom and cabinets in the kitchen.

NB: For a subtle and soothing feel choose light colours such as blue, pink, cream etc; for a vibrant look check out colours such as orange, gold, red, purple etc; for an elegant look colours like grey and other neutral colours would do the trick!
Happy painting friends
