Plants and portraits are
such easy and adaptable accessories to have. They add finishing touches to your
space making it unique and inviting.
Portraits and other forms
of art works play an important role in home décor: not only do they highlight
your individuality; they absorb noise and can transform the shape of a room if
placed properly. For instance, a landscape picture can be used to widen a room
while a floral portrait gives an illusion of added height.
Before putting up art
pieces, experiment with different combinations and patterns. Try out different
arrangements on the floor of the room until you come up with a great pattern.
There are no hard and fast rules about creating art arrangements but note smaller
pictures look better in clusters as this brings about a balance and cohesion of
elements in the room.
Big pictures, on the other
hand, should be placed in proportion to the furniture in the room usually six
to nine inches above a sofa but at eye level. If the picture is hung too far
apart from the sofa, there will be no connection between the two items.
Plants and flowers are the
icing to cap up your decorating efforts. Easy to blend into any room, they come
in varieties such as natural, artificial, dried, etc. Colours vary too, so
whatever you fancy; there is something out there for you. Allergic to natural
flowers? Try the silk ones, they are very beautiful and it’s hard to tell them
apart sometimes.
Plants in the home not
only sweeten your ambience but add natural colour, texture and soften the
rooms’ ambience making it appealing. Accessorize your flowers with beautiful
pots, vases, planters etc. these days they come in themes and schemes, you may
have a hard time believing that they are planters.
For dried flowers, do not
forget the oils to give off sweet scents now and again. Do take out natural
plants to sun at least once every fortnight. Wipe the artificial plants often
to avoid accumulation of dust. Replace fresh flowers weekly and change the water
in the vase often.
It’s time to get some
plants and portraits into your home.
