DECORATING FOR ALL 5 SENSES

Creating a rich and luxurious home design experience starts with engaging all of ones senses. Today we are going to share with you some unique concepts that will help bring your home to the foreground of sensory satisfaction.

Smell
There are all kinds of aroma inspiration. From clean and lemony to spicy and seasonal, the scents are out there. The kitchen commodity, Pam Baking Spray smells so much like freshly baked cookies it puts Yankee Candle to shame. Just spray it on a paper towel and wipe the back edges of your kitchen counter to avoid getting the entire surface greasy.

Touch
Textured furniture is one way to increase your homes sensory experience. A velvet chair just may be a perfect fit depending on your design style. Restored wood is always a charming and beautiful way to add texture to any room.

Sound
If you have noticed some echoing in a large room and loud sounds are carrying farther then you probably need something to absorb some noise. You can do this with a large area rug or curtains. For your outdoor space the bellow of oversized wind chimes can create relaxing vibes.

Sight
A real stunning sight to see when you walk into a room is a bold wall. You can use creative wallpapers or interesting colors. This will boost your home’s entire atmosphere. Light is also an important aspect of your interiors. Natural light is always a positive but a simple fix is to exchange your bulbs for some with a yellow tint.

Taste
The next time you hesitate before placing a gorgeous tin of fancy teabags in your shopping cart, think of the investment you’re making in your home. Repeat that thought process any time you see a particularly adorable box of macaroons or an artistically designed cookie tin.

DESIGN TIPS TO MAKE YOUR SPACE INSTAGRAMMABLE!

In the world of high-end interior design there are so many unique ways to decorate a space. It is important to show off that hard work so why not take beautiful photographs of your home renovations or new luxury designs!

Social Media has given us a way to share our treasures with friends. Were seeing more and more famous social media accounts expressing there interior design choices on Instagram. On Instagram you can truly depict your interior design in a stunning way.

Today I am going to share with you tips on how to market and display your work and get that instant Instagram picture perfect.

Color Co-ordination
Renovate your rooms with color! Dark walls are a bold move, but offset these with lighter floors and a cool color scheme.

Choosing a color to paint your walls is always a difficult decision to make but fun at the same time. Working with neutral color palette gives you a lot of leeway to change your décor up a lot. Keeping it white is clean and simple and you can always change things up. Now you are on your way to a picture perfect space.

Be Clutter-Free
The most important thing to do before taking your photo is to clear out the clutter. You don’t have to make the picture look staged but tidying up makes a huge difference in your photo.

Keep your trinkets concealed and let the organizing begin! Instead of cluttering your space with random loose objects, find a vessel and keep things tidy. Fresh flowers always make a splash to replace the clutter with foliage.

Search for the perfect focal point in your room and avoid any chaos. Simple is smart and will guarantee you a nice clean shot. Frame your shot and remove a few accessories before you finalize the space. You can create a true visual interest when carefully placing your home accessories and furniture in the background.

Follow Your Art
Empty walls can come off plain and boring. We suggest finding the right artwork that matches your taste and your color scheme. Create a statement piece above your couch or share your precious memories and photographs in the living room. Fine art will take your space to the next level and will be sure to set you apart on Instagram.

Get the lighting right
Lighting is key to a perfect picture sometime you need to find the right ways to brighten up a darker room. Natural light can change a photo completely. Pay attention to when and where there sun draws the most light into your home and that how you’ll know when to snap!

You will find the perfect balance of natural and inside lighting and you wont want to put the camera down!

Apps really make a difference
There is a huge difference between taking a photo with the basic camera app that comes with an iPhone or Android versus one of the many excellent photography and interior design apps available in the App Store. The most solid app choices are VSCO Cam and Camera+. These apps give you so many options and filters to play with. You can just throw on a filter and like that your picture is ready to post!
