5 secrets for decorating your home or apartment

Just a single apartment arranged properly. But the general opinion, it “feels good …”.

Create a universe of colors and textures :

Do not think your apartment as a place where simple greet your friends and maybe more. Think of your apartment as a journey and experience. Each piece must be a stop on this journey, and each chair during a sensory experience (by sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste … why not we will return). My apartment, for example, is characterized by two of Asia and music. So wear all Asian motifs, and each piece (or almost) has a monitoring system (even if it is plugged into an iPod shuffle small speakers) or musical instruments. There is nothing worse than a succession of rooms without thematic continuity
between them, like a patchwork quilt made at random.

Empty! Videz ! Empty!

The trinkets are the bane of apartments. They attract dust and encourage your friends to consistently offer other trinkets worse!

Generally, I avoid any element of unnecessary decoration (especially for a guy flat): no statues pitites adorable, no cut sport hard won on the last curling competition, not records or CDs or DVDs lying around on all tables and chairs of the room, no electric son lying on the floor between your computer and your toaster. Beside the pictures / tables, lighting and this will be used to sensory experiences (cushions, rugs, incense, etc..), Do not drag. Remember: “Empty + clean = comfortable”.
