Do you ever go to visit someone for the first time and end up looking round to see what their d¨Ścor is like?
Like it or not our d¨Ścor says a lot about whom we are as people. It reveals what we like, what we donĄŻt like, and more importantly what kind of character we possess.
Our character can also be revealed by the way we decorate certain rooms. Our practical nature might be shown in the efficient storage solutions we use in our kitchen. The natural tones we use to paint our lounge would point to someone who likes a place to relax when they come home from a hard dayĄŻs work.
Conversely the red tones and satin sheets we use to decorate our bedroom would reveal a very different side to our personality ¨C one that not everyone would see!
Different Areas, Different Ideas
When deciding on d¨Ścor for our home itĄŻs a good idea to separate public ones from private ones. Think about holding a party for example. Which areas of your house would you be happy to open up to your guests? And which ones would you prefer to keep off limits?
In general, bedrooms and en suites wonĄŻt be seen by anyone other than their owner and close family and friends, so you can save a touch of luxury for these areas.
Flooring is a popular part of any d¨Ścor, and the type you choose will depend on how highly trafficked the area is. Your personality will show through in the colour and quality of the flooring in each room.
A luxurious wool carpet would be ideal underfoot in the bedroom, but a hard wearing laminate would be more practical for the hallway.
Accessorise!
Your personality will also be evident in the accessories you select to complement your d¨Ścor.
Lighting can make a big difference to how each room is perceived. Spotlights can be used to highlight specific areas in the kitchen, whether itĄŻs for practical or aesthetic purposes.
This can be carried through to the d¨Ścor in the rest of your home. If you like to highlight objects and possessions that matter to you, spotlights and single light fittings can do this very well.
If on the other hand you are minimalist with your d¨Ścor, you may go for general mood lighting instead.
In short, how you use d¨Ścor to improve, style and highlight your home reveals a lot more about your character than you might previously have thought possible.
