A home is an expression of one's lifestyle and personality and is not merely a setup. Decorating your personal space according to your style and mood, makes your life at home worth the stay. If your home has an added coziness and comfort along with a nice appeal, it sure is an icing on the cake.

Decorating your home is easy provided you plan it well in advance. It is not a day's work and should not be. There are many aspects which need to be taken into consideration while decorating a home. These include colour, flooring, wall decor, furnishing, budget, lightings and so on which play a vital role in giving your home the intended look. It is important that you weigh each of these factors and many more to have the perfect home.

Colours can make or break an entire look. The right colour will have a strong impact on the overall appeal of your house. Choose a colour which calms your nerves and soothes your senses to a great extent. Bright and reflective colours can pierce your eyes and make your feel uncomfortable. Select a colour which complements your personality and mood. For children's room, you can go for bright and peppy colours which would uplift their mood instantly. Paint each room with a different colour to further enhance your home's appeal. You can even go for textured walls available in various textures like spatula, Haiku writings, uneven glass pieces and so on. Experiment with colours keeping in mind the other furnishing items. Make sure that the ceiling is white or a lighter shade to enhance the other side colours of your walls.

Furnishing your home with appropriate curtains, bedding sets or diwan sets can have a huge impact on your home. They form an important part of your home decoration process. Choose a pattern or colour that would go with the entire setup of your living room as well as bedroom. Matching the colours with the walls is of vital importance so that they do not look out of place. You can choose designs and patterns like floral, geometric, animal print and so on according to your whims and fancies. You can also go for bold prints and colours to accentuate the look of your room by considerable notches. While purchasing curtains and bedding sets, consider the size for a perfect fit. Also, fabric is of utmost importance in a bedding or a diwan set as it should be breathable and comfortable. Curtains with linings serve the best possible purpose of both functionality as well as being a furnishing accessory.

A home speaks volumes about its owner. Empty and cluttered spaces can influence your character to a great extent. Hence, it is important that you decorate your home with items that cater to your nature and are relevant in your life. To start with, you can choose a theme to make it easier. For instance, you can go for a tribal theme with Dokra figures or Worli art paintings. Else, you can go for a simple traditional wooden touch or a contemporary setup for your home. For the walls of your room, you can put posters or a clock or a mirror to give the intended look. Other decorative items can include shelves with a few precious trinkets, Rajasthani dolls, canvas paintings, a hanging wall rug and so on for a unique appeal. Photo frames with exquisitely carved frames along with a collaged or a single picture can add a dose of love to your home decor. You can make your dining table look welcoming with a simple flower vase and beautiful cookware and cutlery. You can also give a royal feel to your house by hanging chandeliers which suit the theme of your house.

Choosing the right furniture for your home is of utmost concern. Research thoroughly before you purchase furniture as they are huge investments. Furniture should match your wall colours and vice-versa. You can buy furniture made of rot iron, wood and so on. A traditional wood has been incorporated in modern house settings as well. Choose a design which adds a special charm to your home. When it comes to dining chairs and table, choose a set which is comfortable and fits your dining space perfectly.

Lighting also plays an important role when it comes to home decor. You can even have a false ceiling with small lights on them for a subtle illumination. LED lights are decorative lights or night lights which have a calming effect on your nerves after a tiring day. You can even put lights inside showcases to illuminate your exquisite cutlery.

Kitchen can be decorated with suitable kitchen appliances which match the overall ambience of your kitchen. Buy durable and sturdy cookware and appliances which would make your kitchen activities faster and easier.

For your floors, you can get a carpet or runners to give the intended look. Choose a carpet according to the season and theme. You can even spruce up your bathroom by adding a bathtub or shelves to keep your toiletries.

Home Fragrances are added incentives which will cater to your olfactory senses and make your house more welcoming for the guests. A well-furnished house need not necessarily include expensive items. You can decorate your spiritual home decor as per your choice within an affordable budget. For an easy shopping experience, you can pick your favourite home decor items from various online portals.
