Investing in your Home

I recently read this informative article by Clare Steel, Author or Home Design & Decorating.

"It's not so much that cheaper renovations have fallen out of fashion, more that people are better informed about how to improve their homes. Access to a wider range of products, plus greater variety of inspirational sources, from magazines to websites, means that the quality of finishes is improving. Of course, it's all down to your budget- cheap renovations, from simply repainting one wall of your living room to covering an old sofa with a throw, can still make a big and instant impact on a room.  However the better the materials and workmanship, the better and more long- lasting the finish. If you're not planning on moving, it makes sense to invest. 

There are lots of simple things you can do to a room to improve it without spending lots of money. Look at improving the focus of your rooms.  Use a statement wallpaper on the main wall of a bedroom or living room - around the fireplace or behind the bed head. Or dress your bed well.  It will make a room feel more welcoming.

Learning to display your best accessories well can also make a room feel smarter and more coordinated".

Decorating Tips
Few additions transform the interior of your home more than a new coat of paint. Interior paint adds variety, colour, and a touch of your personality to any room. Different interior paint colours can also be a great design tool, making larger rooms feel cosier and smaller rooms feel more spacious.

Here are a few tips when it comes to choosing paint for inside your home, so that you can feel confident you’re making the right paint decisions for your interior spaces.

Overwhelmed by the Options?
There are literally thousands of colours to choose from. First and foremost, look for colours that are pleasing to you.

Think Design when Choosing Interior Paint
You also want to think about what impact different interior paint colours are going to have on different spaces. Light interior paint colours make a room feel more spacious, and are an excellent choice if you’re dealing with tight, confined spaces. Darker colours work the opposite, and are best suited for larger, spacious areas where you want to reign things in a little bit. On the flip side, darker colours are also more comforting and inviting, making them perfect for entryways, living rooms, and other areas where you entertain guests. Lighter colours lack the warmth of darker shakes, making spaces feel more formal and proper.

Flat, Satin, Eggshell, Semi-gloss, and Gloss
The last decision you ' re going to need to make is which type of paint to use in each area. Flat paint is great for uses in areas that receive low traffic. Satin, eggshell, and semi-gloss paints are better for high traffic areas, since they resist staining and are easier to clean than flat paints. And if you really want an area or architectural feature to get noticed, use glossy paint to get that perfect shine. Of course, remember, the glossier the paint, the more you’ll notice imperfections in the painted surface as well.
