We talk a lot about beautifying your face and body here, but what about your home? After all, the home that you live in is a representation of your personal style and taste. Homes that have a lack of decor often feel bland and boring due to a lack of detail on the property.
To ensure that you can feel proud of the space and allow it to feel cozy, there are a few ways to make your home look beautiful…and no, we don’t just mean by keeping it clean (but that helps!).
Enhance the Curb Appeal
The curb appeal of your property is the first impression made on your guests, making it important to create a stunning exterior that stands out in the neighborhood. Consider installing a white picket fence or an iron fence to create a classic setting that is timeless. You can also add shutters on the windows or install a swing on the porch. The front yard should also be manicured and include seasonal flowers or plants that will work to create a lush environment.
Add Wallpaper
You can make your home look professionally decorated by taking the decor up a notch. Instead of painting the walls, opt for adding wallpaper for added visual appeal that enhances the style of the room. (I LOVE wallpaper!) You can also create an accent wall, which will work as the focal point of the space. Consider using a bold print of wallpaper or a pop of color with paint that is applied on the wall.
Incorporate Natural Light
Natural light will transform a setting and illuminate each room of the home to allow it to appear cheery and uplifting. Dim areas can detract from the features of the property, making it important to use sheer curtains on the windows and install skylights in dark areas of the house.
Mix and Match Pillows
Dress up your couches and beds in the home with pillows that incorporate pops of color in the space and create a beautiful environment. Switch the pillows out in each season to ensure that they create a comfortable and cozy setting that is easy to relax in. You can also add a throw blanket to the end of a chaise or on a bed for an attractive touch that draws attention to the furniture pieces.
To enhance the beauty of the home and allow it to look attractive, it’s important to add extra features and elements that create a stunning environment. By investing in each area of the property, you can feel proud to show off the space and call it your own.
Anyone know where I can get the pillows in the second picture?
Cathy – they’re originally from http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/, but I don’t see them on the site now, they may have clearanced them. You might have to resort to *gasp* EBAY! Nooo!
