Use lanterns, bulbs, etc at your entrance because in case it is dark then it will guide the visitor towards your door. Also, carefully choose the light according to what you want to highlight. If you want to highlight a particular well designed carved wall then place the light accordingly. Alternatively, in case you want to highlight the white marble floor.

Make a list of things that you love and things that should definitely be a part of your room – it may be a bean bag, a poster, a letter, a show piece, a wind chime, a CD, TV set, mirror anything. Next task is to choose the colour for your room. Do not get excited by some jazzy colours that you may love momentarily and hate the next moment. Choose something that you have been loving since ages. Colour can play a big role in inspiring and affecting your mood and state of mind. Choosing the right colour can provide peace to a great extent. If you want a room to be soothing and relaxing, choose a light colour. However, the decision is entirely yours as some people may feel more relaxed with a dark bright colour.

The next task is to choose furniture that you love. For me it is definitely a bean bag. It relaxes me and adds a certain amount of style to my room.

Frame them with attractive decorative photo frames available. They are sure to bring some happy vibrations in you. The balance of comfort and style needs to be achieved.

Pay attention to linen, bed sheets, pillow covers, and curtains. Use colours that you love. You can even paint your own bed sheets and pillow covers and make them truly unique. Also, install good lighting. Proper lighting is essential for convenience. Use an expert’s opinion if you need. I love to be able to adjust the light in every room with dimmer switches.
