6 Ways To Make Your Home Extra Comfortable And Refined

Whenever you are tackling some home decorating it is always the little things that will help make it comfortable and polished. From adding some color to updating your light fixtures it is these little things that will make all of the difference. Here are some great tips that won’t break your wallet if you are looking to enhance your home.

Soft Lighting

Nothing sets the mood better than the right lighting. Lighting can significantly affect how we feel and interact with a space. Try adding in some soft lighting into the key rooms of your home. Those should include your living room, bedrooms and even your kitchen. You can sometimes just replace your bulbs with warmer ones, add dimmers or some pretty pendant lights over a bar area in a kitchen. 

Declutter

Clutter can interrupt any room’s vibe. Keeping a room well organized will help foster a more relaxing atmosphere and eliminate stress. Invest in some organizers for common clutter items such as mail so that they have a home until you can deal with them. Be sure to regularly declutter so things don’t accumulate to where it is overwhelming.

Thoughtful Personal Items

Everyone has some personal items like photos and keepsakes that make their house a home. Just be sure to display these items in a well thought out way and in designated areas. Instead of randomly hanging photos, do a grouping in one location. For keepsakes consider designating a shelf so things look organized and not overwhelming. 

Color

Always start by picking a palette to work from when adding in color to your home. Having a consistent theme will add a good flow to your home. When you begin adding in pops of color for more life, be careful not to go overboard. Colors can be different shades instead of bold tones. Rooms don’t have to be painted daring colors either, pops of color can be achieved through things like artwork and/or toss pillows.

Quality Bedding

Creating a comfortable bedroom is key when trying to make an overall comfortable home. Purchasing high-quality bedding like soft cotton sheets, plush pillows,and a cozy duvet, can set the tone for a great night's sleep. Also, having a tidy and made bed always will make a room feel more polished.

Curb Appeal

While we often focus on creating a comfortable and inviting interior, don't neglect the exterior of your home. Add some potted plants or flowers to the front porch, entry or seating areas. Outdoor lighting can also help create a nice ambience and provide a welcoming look.
