HARI Raya is just around the corner and everyone is bustling about, decorating our homes to impress our soon-to-arrive guests.
Besides the cookies, drinks and treats, a welcoming decor is equally important to make your guest feel at home.
IKEA furniture is certainly welcome, but let’s take several steps back, towards the very walls that hold the roof of your home together.
Paint plays a vital role to create that winning ambience. Every interior designer worth their salt know this.
So lets bring out the creative side of you and grab some pencils and notepad, because class is in session.
You can’t go wrong with neutral
Neutral colours are always a safe and stylish choice for the living room. These shades, like whites, beiges, greys, and tans, provide a versatile foundation for any decor style.
They help create a calming and relaxing atmosphere. Your guests who have just emerged from the long hours of traffic jam will thank you for it.
Luxury in all its subtlety
If you are aiming for a more dynamic and expressive living room, bold colours like deep blues, emerald greens, and rich reds can create a stunning focal point.
These colours can inject energy into the space and add a sense of sophistication and luxury.
What better way to announce your improving financial status to your relatives besides the brand new Alphard in the garage!
One colour to rule them all
Just because you use a single colour for your living room does not mean that you are being boring. A monochromatic colour scheme involves using different shades, tints, and tones of the same colour.
This approach creates a sense of harmony and balance in the living room, as the room feels cohesive and visually appealing without the distraction of too many contrasting colours.
A word of warning
While you may have a certain colour scheme in mind, always test the colours on a small section of your wall before committing to an entire room.
The lighting, size, and layout of your room can dramatically alter how the paint colour will look in the final setting.
A test patch can give you a good idea of how the colour will appear in different lighting and at different times of the day.
Regardless, an ideal home is more than just the interior design, but a collective of various other factors, take for example, the location, amenities, percentage of greenscape and many others.
That said, smart home buyers choose a development that is ideally developed by a reputable developer.
