Happy #HomeTipThursday!
1. Set The Tone at The Front Door
🔶 If you want your house to make a great first impression, paint the front door a fun, glossy hue. You can change this up often. It's an easy way to give a fresh feel to what people see first!
2. Paint Wall Colors Light and Neutral
🔶 Stick to colors like beige or gray, especially on the first floor, where flow is important. “You want to minimize jarring transitions from room to room as people experience it for the first time.
3. Living Area: Make Sure Your Sofa Talks to Your Chairs
🔶 Think of a nice hotel lobby: The furniture is arranged in groupings that invite conversation. When you place the furniture in your living room, aim for a similar sense of balance and intimacy.
4. Let The Sun Shine In Your Kitchen
🔶 Let there be light! If your room gets a lot of sun, opt for light colors that won’t fade. The most recommended lightweight fabrics for panels are cotton, linen, and silk blends because they tend to hang well.
5. Hang at Least One Mirror in Every Room
🔶 Mirrors are a great way to enlarge a space but location is key. Put mirrors on walls perpendicular to windows, not directly across from them. Hanging a mirror directly opposite a window can actually bounce the light right back out the window.
