TIPS FOR EFFORTLESS LIVING

Designing a home that is as functional as it is beautiful can be achieved with a few smart choices. Take a look at this list below to get inspired on how to make the most of your space with these 3 tips.

Keep clutter out of sight.
This can be achieved through a number of measures, like storage under the bed and couch, an ottoman or footstool that doubles as a place to hide odds and ends, and enclosed kitchen cabinets. Not only do you reduce the need to dust, you won’t need to worry if your dishes are perfectly organized, because they are tucked away behind closed doors.
Choose your paint colours thoughtfully.
Different colours have the ability to affect the way we feel. Bright, warm colours like reds and oranges elicit high emotions, whereas cool, softer colours like pastel blues and pale greys have a calming effect on our minds. Be sure to consider these effects when choosing the colours for each room in your home.
Add space to any room with design.
If you have a room in your home that’s on the smaller side, there are things you can do to help it appear larger and more airy. Painting the room white is a great first step, as white is the most light-reflective colour and will maximize the space. Consider adding decorative mirrors to optically open up the space further, and use light, gauzy coverings on windows or leave them uncovered, to allow the light to flow in.
