When moving or redecorating, it’s most important to keep in mind what kind of energy the space creates. It can look like a museum, but you don’t want it to feel like one. Here are some tips on how to make your home feel more warm and inviting.
Feng Shui
The ancient Chinese philosophy of feng shui speaks to how humans use spaces and the energies that they create. There is no perfect way to arrange all your furniture, but why not try! Move your furniture around more than once; try pieces in odd places before you settle on a final design. Think about how your furniture works together in the space as a whole. Create options for yourself so that you don’t get locked into your first idea when there is a better one around the corner.
House Plants
More life! From a small plant in the window to a giant fern, any bit of green can go a long way. Plants have multiple benefits in a home: for starters, a plant creates natural air circulation through photosynthesis. A house plant also adds life to every room, so you never have to stay home alone again. With just a little bit of upkeep, a little green can go a long way. If you don’t have a green thumb or are too busy, use fake plants!
Color Pallet
When choosing the color scheme for your home, consider using welcoming colors like beiges, creams, or earth tones to create a relaxed environment that encourages calm energies. The colors you choose will have the biggest impact on the space. Darker colors, especially for a living room, can absorb some of that precious natural light, making the room feel darker.
Designing a new space can feel daunting, but a few simple tricks can make it a lot easier. And, with these tips on how to make your home more warm and inviting, you’re ready to get started!
