When you have
lived in the same house for a while the decor can become tired or outdated.
Redecorating the home can often remain on the to-do list for a long time but a New
Year is the ideal time to plan how you want your house to change. Particularly
during the winter months when the sunshine is still in hiding, revamping your
home is the perfect distraction from the drizzle.
Decorating
your house doesn’t have to be stressful; imagining how your home is going to
look can be really exciting. The first thing to think about is what sort of
atmosphere you want your home to have: do you want a warm, minimalist look
created by creams; or a bright red that gives the room atmosphere and
personality?
Many homes
have one room dedicated to family activities where children might play, while
the living room possesses a more formal ambience. Farrow &
Ball paints come in a vast array of colours ranging from light neutral
tones that lighten up a room, to dark shades that work well as accent colours.
If you have a preference for one colour such as cream, you can use slight
variations of the shade throughout your home such as off-white and hound lemon
so that each room is consistent but slightly different. Obviously wallpaper is
an alternative. One wallpapered wall alongside three painted walls is a stylish
compromise between the two. Farrow
& Ball wallpaper can be matched perfectly with the paints to give the
room a modern look.
Once your
colour scheme is decided the final step is to accessorize the room. Add some
personality through small accessories such as an ornament or some framed pictures.
Accessories don’t have to be expensive, even a bunch of flowers can enhance a
room with their bright appearance and aroma. When the decorating is completed
you will admire your home as if it is brand new all over again.
