A small round fresh or artificial flower arrangement looks good on the dining table. Ideally it should be placed in a shallow crystal bowl with a few marbles.
Table lamps give the living room a cosy feel.
Buy sheer cotton curtains in different colours which can be switched every fortnight to give the room a new look.
Begin your day by eating breakfast off brightly coloured crockery.
A fountain in the living room will bring in positive energy to the house according to Feng Shui rules.
Use furniture pieces like futons, folding chairs, stools and easy chairs in all rooms to add to the comfort of your home.
Pep up your home decor with fresh looking plastic flowers that are available everywhere.
Crystal glasses, vases, figurines and decanters will jazz up your bar.
Pooja Khurana, an interior designer who is a consultant with the Kirti Nagar-based Dreams Furnishings, has her own take on the right way to plan your home, so that it looks its best.
Flooring, wall colours and soft furnishings (upholstery and curtains) are the three important factors when you’re decorating your home. Artefacts, lamp stands candles and flowers come next in line.
Colour combinations should be planned keeping the room in mind. For example in the drawing room you should go in for warm colours like browns and rust. For the bedroom, the occupant’s taste should be kept in mind.
Curtains should be chosen along with the wall colours. The curtain should also match the finish on the wardrobe or the bed, and the wood used. Additional details like the colour of the rug should also be kept in mind.
A room should reflect the person’s personality. Keep that in mind when designing or choosing furnishings or decoration items.
