Home is where your heart is. No matter what ‘home’ means to you, it is always close to heart. One also takes pride in decorating the home according to the taste and loves to share special memories created in it with friends and family on social media.

Cementing its position as one of the most sought after applications, social media has been the talk of the town lately. One makes all-out efforts to become popular on such social media platforms.

In order to add the oomph quotient to home décor, one can make small changes, such as adding some lights to add elegance or just change curtains to give a refreshing look to home. One can also consider to go for a bit of structural changes, such as using veneers as highlighter. “Whether one likes contemporary or rustic look for house, anything can be done by selecting the right shades of veneers and laminates. The furniture, wardrobe, bed and whole décor will change drastically and with a bit of lighting, it’s social media ready,” said Shankho Chowdhury, Executive Business Head, Decoratives, CenturyPly.

WALL ART

Decorating the wall in a quirky and stylish way can help to beautify home with ease. There is always something available which fits to one’s taste and budget, and performs both decorative and practical functions. Giving the best fashion to walls, compliments the beauty of the entire house. It also adds more positivity and vocalises the environment and vibes of house. The colour contrast gives an eye pleasing look to the home.

HOME-ONLY FEED

While everyone loves to capture lively moments, such as cooking food, playing with pets, clicking new clothes on the backdrop of bed, etc, a good feed will only be the one that sticks to the theme. So, if one wants home to be a sensation on social media, then sticking to a particular theme is inevitable. “Remember, social media is a visual platform, your goal should be to make everyone, who reaches your page, a follower of it as well,” said Tapan K Chakravarty, Area Head, School of Design, Pearl Academy.

BE ORIGINAL

Although it is ok to be inspired but one should look to be original and have unique content. That’s a no-brainer. People love the freshness of a post. But ensure that the images look fascinating. It seems to be a must to grab eyeballs.

TAG THEM ALL

Tag the brands that you buy products from and showcase on your feed. If the feed is compelling to the followers, one might get a repost, and voila some unprecedented follow notifications with it as well.

ADD ON

Placement is a key consideration when planning an addition in home décor. “All the additions should complement the original style and theme of the home décor. Big or small, the additions seem to give a rejuvenating look to the home with ease,” said Renu Shrivastava, Manager, Design, Ajnara India Limited.
