Interior Decoration Tips: Homestyle

A beautiful home is a home that is beautiful to its owners. Therefore, your home reflects your own unique personality and it really should.

You may hire an interior decorator to improve the look of your home but in the end it should be you and your family’s character that should reflect in your abode. Just go along with suggestions that are pleasing to you.

The following interior design tips will help bring your unique style out.

  • Moldings and cornice on the ceiling edge and baseboards can beautify a room even if the walls are plain white.

  • Use mirrors to make a room look bigger.

  • Avoid using gloss paint on ceilings; imperfections on its surface will be highlighted when you open the lights.

  • Do not use strong colors on areas that you frequently use such as your bedroom.

  • Picture frames should be installed on eye level.

  • For a cozier ambiance put area rugs on floors that are made of concrete, tiles or any stone material.

Tips on Home Safety

  • Gardens improves a rather dull yard, but be cautious with big plants, shrubs and trees. They can be good hiding places for burglars.

  • Putting gravel near windows alerts you if somebody is trying to peek inside.

  • Lights are good deterrent to thieves. Your house exterior should be lighted more than the inside when going to bed.
