As the music becomes great when you add soul to that, food becomes delicious when you add a little spice to that so does your dream house becomes home when you add a little bit of your own touch to decorate it.

Home is not a place it’s a person to whom you keep coming back, A person with whom you feel most comfortable , A person you are in love with! And Tto make this love story unique you need to express yourself and decorate your house with furniture that will not only reflect your character but be in consonance with your inner self. You will then need to coordinate the furniture you choose to have with softs that will include curtains, cushions, rugs and carpets, table runners for your dining table, throws, comforters or even towels. You need look at every piece of furniture and every object as an individual sculpture and more importantly your furniture should be the culmination of all the different people you have been at different time of your life.

To begin with it is most important for you to assess the space available in each of your living areas. You need to know the measurements of your living room, dining area, bedrooms, lounge area, lobby area, study, etc. This will enable you to select the appropriate furniture for each of these areas. You need to have in hand the layout plan of your house when you go about selecting furniture for your house. That done let us now embark on helping you change your house to a home!

Let us start with the living area. You need a sofa set, a coffee table, a side table or perhaps two of them depending on the size of the area, at the least. Once you have these and have positioned them appropriately you may find that you could also do with a chest to enhance the decor and add style to the area. You may also like to add an ottoman or a puff to not only provide additional seating but also to give colour to your decor. Softs – curtains, cushions and rugs and carpets will give life to your decor. Once you have selected the furniture go ahead and choose the softs that appeal to your inner being and coordinate these with your furniture. In fact you could work the other way around, i.e. choose the softs first depending on the colour scheme you choose for your area and go on to coordinate the furniture with these. Importantly remember that your softs and furniture should also coordinate with the colour of the walls you have opted for.
Lighting in any decor is vital. Lights and lamps give your decor panache and gives it the mood you choose to have. Think of a lighting concept and then go ahead and choose a chandelier or a pendant that appeals to you. For your side tables choose a lamp. You would like to embellish your decor with glass vases & bowls. You may like to add a votive to enhance the mood of the area. For the walls you would like to have a wall decor and a mirror or two.
You can now picture your living area and embed it into your mind. This will bring a smile to your face! And Yes Don’t forget to add a little space for a book shelf because books often provides a new dimension to your decor.
