Every corner of your home is decorated for a certain purpose, be it the kitchen, the bathroom, or the various living areas. Take your room styling up a notch by matching a complimentary mood to the intention of your space. Playing with light, color, and texture can help to cultivate certain feelings within your home.
Energizing
For a truly invigorating space, allow for as much natural light as the room will allow. This feeling will be most effective in a high-traffic area such as the living room. Filter the sunlight with woven window treatments New York to add drama or intimacy on a whim, but a brighter space will be uplifting to your overall mood. Layer in plants that will thrive under such conditions and enjoy basking in the sunlight together.
Soothing
For a room that can aid in relaxation, work within a cool-toned color palette. Shades of blue encourage calmness and serenity and decorating within this range might be most effective in a bedroom. Play within the range to achieve a space that will promote a thorough winding down of the day. Avoid going too dark, as lighter hues will make the room feel more spacious and inviting.
Brooding
Usage of rich, dark woods can invoke formality in a space. Think mahogany, cherry, or oak; furniture with these accents can appear stately, as though from a previous place in history, cultivating an environment of deep or focused thought. A sitting room replete with a stocked bar would be well-outfitted in hardwoods of this variety. A dining room styled in this vein can also appear elevated and facilitate open conversation.
Using these ideas, you can tailor each room to the sanctuaries they have every potential to become. Decorating in this style may help each space to feel not only inviting — given your mood — but also cohesive.
