"Happy" Decorating Tips

January 1, 2013 By vdodson Leave a Comment

Everyone wants their living space to be comfortable and ‘’happy’’.  You can achieve this with a few simple steps like adding pieces and color to your space.

Adding rounded shapes like drum lamp shades or rounded coffee tables soften the room and make a space feel more livable and loveable.

Covering up metal frames with ribbon can soften a space

Adding chairs that have high backs elongates your space while giving it a “sit and stay a while” allure.

Cheerful colors can literally make your heart beat faster and make you happier.  Try pinks or oranges to splash a little “happy” into your room.  Be careful with yellows as studies show that it’s a stress inducer.

Try adding fabrics to your walls to give your space a little fun and personality.

Focus on embellishments.  Flanges, trims and welting can take your space to the next level.

Try combining two styles such as comfortable and glamour.  If you use soft colors and shapes with a little bit of sparkle, it will give your space a big impact.

If you like a space that packs a punch, try using several prints and patterns with a common color scheme while using a solid such as white, to break it up. There’s nothing that says you have to stick to one type of pattern.

Use contrasting colors like blue and yellow, pink and green, black and yellow, ect. Doing this is eye catching and timeless.

Neutrals’ are great in any space, but used in abundance can be boring.  Throwing in a punchy color like red, green or pink can spice things up.

 

Share with us some of the things you’ve liked about living rooms you consider “happy” spaces.  Or things that you would suggest people stay away from.
