Lighten up your home

-

ECORATE your home with ample lights, be it in the form of lamps or chandelier­s, and introduce a few planters with fresh flowers to the sad and empty corners of your home to bring in positive vibes and tranquilli­ty, suggest experts.

Retesh Sharma, the director at Zynna, and Sukriti Sharma, the director at Plusch, list creative décor ideas.

Fetch greenery inside: Adding planters with loads of fresh flowers and green plants create a serene milieu.

Light the area right: Lights play a key role in setting the ambiance right. Adding a few chandelier­s and lamps will create a beautiful, serene room. Also, incorporat­ing a few scented candles in your rooms is yet another great idea that not only spreads the aroma around but also generates a loving, caring atmosphere.

When we talk about bringing spring botanicals into your abode, the best way to achieve this is in cushions. Nature-inspired curtains also work well. You can contrast them with neon colours.

Adding floral designs, nature upholstery pieces with contrastin­g rugs can also work well. Also, watercolou­r-style flower-print fabric can be incorporat­ed such as a footstool or cushions.

Small decorative pieces, fruit bowls, decorative ornaments and magazine baskets enhance the look of the living room, hence they play a vital role in bringing any themed décor into the house. You can add photo frames, bamboo décor products and smaller objects such as coasters, decorative trays and room diffusers.

Many a time we see that only one single colour wall is the focal point in any room. This trend is passé. Instead use printed wallpapers to brighten any space in your house whether it is a bedroom, living area, dining room or balcony.

Infuse light scented candles that not only create an aromatic room but also a nice ambience. Furthermor­e, you can set a relaxing mood by arranging a variety of oil lamps and candles on decorative trays and let them work their magic on your senses.

Adorn your interiors with brighter shades of yellow, orange, red, blue and green. Opt for the colours that complement each other and provide an exuberant aura to your home. Use floral prints as décor in your home to keep your home lively, cheerful and fresh. Keep aside the heavy drapes and welcome sheer or pellucid curtains into your homes. – IANS
