Here are 10 decorating tips for your home

Crown molding

Crown molding has a way of making a room look complete or finished, it brings the ceiling and the walls together, giving them an elegant appearance. Without this finishing touch, rooms tend to look cheap or unfinished.

Neutral colours

The secret to an elegant looking home is a neutral palette. Choose neutral colors for the items that are more of a cost to update, like the floors, your fixtures and furniture. Then you can add the bold colors to complete the look.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Mirrors are one of the simplest ways to create the illusion of a larger room, particularly if placed directly opposite a window.

Curvy furniture

Most apartments are box-shaped, adding curves will leave a lot of empty space in corners, making the apartment look larger. Go for round coffee tables, a chair with a curve, or a curved sofa set.

Drop the curtain

Simple patterned curtains in natural hues make your space appear larger. Create height by hanging the curtains from floor to ceiling or by hanging them outside the window.

Large Canvases

Bigger is better when it comes to art. Large canvases add a statement to any room and can even make wall space appear larger

Light up your house

Adding lights is the simplest way to make a home feel warm and spacious. Add multiple lights in different areas of the home to create interest and generate the feeling of space.

Go green

Hanging your plants from the ceiling means you can add lush greenery to your home without having to take up any surface space.

Play with the layers

Adding layers can bring the required depth to your small apartment.Layer your bedding with blankets and add multiple pillows and cushions to add depth to your bedroom.

Multi purpose furniture

Make the most of the limited space you have by investing in furniture that will do double duty. From the bedroom to living room, you can have multi-purpose furniture throughout your home.
