Decorating with plants
Plants are a great way to add a little life to any room. They come in all shapes, sizes, and varieties, so you can choose which ones work best for your space. If your home doesn't get much sunlight, you may want to avoid getting plants that need more light. However, there are many indoor plants that thrive in low-light conditions.
Modern wallpaper
Wallpaper has been around for quite some time, but recently it has begun to make a comeback in homes. Depending on the style of wallpaper you choose, it can really add something special to your room without detracting from the other pieces in the room. When choosing wallpaper, decide what kind of look or statement you want it to make. For example, if you want a subtle look, you can choose something neutral or pastel-colored, while if you want a bold look, you can choose something more vibrant or even with a geometric pattern.
The light
This is one of the most important things to consider before starting any project. Lighting sets the mood and gives your room a complete look.
Consider using different types of lighting in your home. Ambient lighting is general lighting that helps you navigate the space—usually provided by recessed or ceiling fixtures. Task lighting is what you use to see what you're doing—usually provided by table and floor lamps or under-cabinet lighting. Accent lighting adds emphasis to specific areas—usually provided by track lighting, picture lights, or spotlights.
Don't forget natural light! It can work wonders in a small space, making it appear larger and more welcoming. Always be sure to choose colors in throwing sticks and in living room curtains that work well with the natural light in the room.
