DECORATION AT HOME

blog.by C21 Caribbean blog.datep 22/06/2022

Whether you own your home or rent a property, it's important that you feel comfortable and happy with the look, spaces, and atmosphere of your home. The theme of decoration is quite broad, so we will only limit ourselves to a few essential aspects of home decoration.

 

We can start thinking about THE HARMONY OF COLORS.

Don't use too many colors. Instead, you can use the same color and mix textures to create a contrast. You can also use a single color and explore its different shades. Dare to explore color! With a good color scheme, you can make a space brighter or darker, taller or larger, smaller or narrower, as well as cozy and inviting. Important: Look for the exterior paint to be able to withstand strong sunny days, rainy days and to be anti-mold.

 

 

Once you have painted your house in a color of your choice, and favorable for the property, we can continue with THE SPACES.

There are certain places in our house that could perhaps be used even more. For example, a space could be divided or limited, to create an extra room or a terrace. A good option to separate spaces or have more privacy somewhere in the house can be a screen. You can also choose to place some drywall or more specialized installations such as doors or wooden or aluminum panels and even room dividers with latticework of different materials.

For ceilings, you can give it a more sophisticated twist by installing ceiling lights and lamps that reflect your style and are consistent with the proportions of your ceiling height and wall-to-wall measurements.

 

 

When finishing the adaptation of your spaces, we can continue to give more life to your home by adding some PLANTS.

Avoid cacti if you have babies or young children, as they could thorn or be the cause of an accident.

Vines are also not recommended for indoors, as they tend to lower energy, as well as darken areas of your home.

Add some flowers only outside your property. This is so that they lead an optimal life and receive their nutrients naturally in the sunlight, in addition to the fact that most flowers need special care.

We recommend useful plants for cooking and health; and with refreshing aromas for interiors, such as peppermint, basil, rosemary and calendula. If you want a larger ornamental plant, ferns are a great option, as they are non-toxic plants.

Plants at home are always a good potion to purify the air and oxygenate the environment.

Contact an expert gardener in a plant nursery of your area and ask about the best options for your spaces at home. You will find indoor and outdoor plants that you will love.

 

 

We move on to the next step, which is THE TEXTILE DECORATIONS that may be in your home, such as rugs, curtains, tablecloths, covers, towels. Choose the best quality materials, to avoid early breakage or fading. Choose colors that can be combined with the rest of the colors at home and experiment with different types of fabrics and shapes. You can find some options in supermarkets, boutiques, or at local artisan markets.

Remember that the simpler and more organized, the better. Avoid giant collections of figurines or objects that serve no purpose in spaces that could be used more efficiently, such as creating a storage space or cabinet or building a tool chest for the home.

 

 

And as a last recommendation; We know that TECHNOLOGY is important nowadays, but please, do not turn your house into a nest of technology. This sometimes leads to unnecessary expense, excess cables in home and cumbersome or annoying processes at the time of a device failure or mishap with electricity. Use only what is necessary, less is more, always.
