• Add a sense of whimsy. Whether you find yourself buried in a good fantasy novel or just enjoy finding magic within everyday life, you will certainly appreciate bringing a touch of whimsy to your own home. You don’t have to paint a whimsical land upon your walls to create an enchanting setting. Adding small details to your home will help you splash a little fantasy in here and there. Items such as mermaid book ends, mirrors or photos with mythical frames, or any antique décor, will really help to add a spellbinding element to your home with some personality and flair.

• Make use of a softer palette. The world today seems to thrive on bold, edgy styles. However, sometimes the softer side of life goes unnoticed or unappreciated. You can bring this a calm and refreshing side of life into your own home with just the right color palette. When working with softer hues, pastels are always a lovely choice. Making use of colors that almost create the feeling of being in a garden is perfect for developing an easing appeal within a space. You can bring a gentle setting to your home with the right hues. As we head into Spring, consider blush pink and pastel green, as these hues will certainly brighten up your home in a delicate way.

• Incorporate a little texture. Sometimes, your home may seem too uniform or austere. From cream colored walls to white ceilings, it can feel as if your home doesn’t have enough pizzazz to keep up with your own personal style. Don’t be afraid to spice up spaces within your home with the right décor, such as hand-painted wallpapers, layered tablescapes, and décor that will provide a flair within your rooms. Your home doesn’t have to fit in with every home in your neighborhood. Uniqueness is an endearing trait. Most importantly, don’t be scared to utilize elements of décor that are rarely seen, as you can create a combination that will certainly “wow” your guests.

Decorating your home is such a wonderful opportunity to make your living space everything you have ever wanted.
