How to Decorate for Feel Good Home Decor

When you step inside your home and look around at your walls, furniture, and décor, does what you see make you happy? Does it make you feel good? If it doesn’t, then it’s time to take action. Maybe you just need to declutter your space to bring back a sense of routine and order, or maybe your room needs a complete refresher.

If you’re the latter, our best piece of advice is to decorate your home with colors and furniture that make you feel good. This is a look that will never go out of style. Use your personality and history to inspire your home décor. Your goal here is for your room to reflect who you are, what you’ve experienced, and what brings you the upmost joy.  If your décor reflects what brings happiness to your life and a smile to your face, then your health and overall well-being will increase.

How to Create Feel Good Home Décor

An easy way to bring a feel good vibe to your space is to first determine what colors make you feel good, and to then add them to your décor. We love taking this step first because sometimes all you have to do is switch out pillows or blankets. You can take it a step further and bring the color to your walls, but no matter how risky you feel or how large your budget is, this is a step that can be taken wherever you stand. 

For an instant boost to your well-being, add plants to your space. When we feel connected to nature, we become carefree and at ease. Plus, who doesn’t love bringing the outdoors in.

If a specific memory of yours makes you light up, find a way to incorporate it into your home. If you had an amazing vacation in Greece, consider adding the vibrant blue to your walls or in accent pieces so that it transports you back to that special time. You could also add a vintage map of a special town or place to your room, or even choose a décor style that is reminiscent of a past memory.

Grey Walls: Serene & Sophisticated, Not Boring & Flat

A mix of black and white, grey is a neutral with versatility that is taking over the design world as the go-to wall color. Sophisticated, serene, and soothing, from slate grey to silvery grey, it’s a color that can work in a multitude of ways, making it all the rage.

The darker the grey is, the more it will make surrounding colors pop, and in this instance, we like adding white as a secondary color, in both the décor and the trim. Not only will white pop against a dark grey, it will also make the grey feel less harsh and cold, and more cheerful and uplifting.

In the bedroom, a light grey can have a cool and calming effect on the space and atmosphere. To keep this shade of grey from looking boring or flat, add textured décor pieces to make your room stand out.

Neutrals pair well together, so it’s okay to bring grey to your walls even if you have light flooring. On promotion until December 31^st, 2017 is Anio, a pattern from the Dabbieri Collection that adds natural beauty and warmth to your home in 36 different colorways, and as you can see, is a neutral that pairs beautifully with grey walls.

Practical Magic

When shopping for home goods and accessories, few things beat finding something that makes life easier! Think about what’s missing in your space that could save you some trouble! A stylish wall clock could get you out the door five minutes earlier. A woven leather basket could keep you organized by collecting blankets, mail, or toys. And a sweet little accent table may be your best friend as it can travel from your sofa to your tub. Ta-da!

Hooked on a Feeling

Seriously! We want to feel good throughout the day, every day! And the secret to shopping success is to remember that comfort is king. Invest in things that make you feel good, inside and out. So make sure you throw it on, test it out, and imagine how wonderful and cozy you’ll feel every time it’s used. Some feel-good fabrics may include velvet, velour, or cashmere. Layer your day, feel warm, feel good.

In & Out Cool

Take cue from the autumn temps and bring your cool factor inside! 2017 fall trends are all about streamlined design and vivid hues, with a nod to basically any decade of the past. Look for simple shapes, maybe a trending color like Pantone’s Shaded Spruce, or modern pieces that stay true to the all-American design of the 1950’s. Pretty much, anything goes, just make sure you love it and coolness will be yours!
