With the pandemic, there has been a huge shift in the ecosystem, one aspect being home renovation, driving owners to re-do their personal spaces due to longer stays. You may know exactly how you want to transform your space but the practicalities of executing it can make the process stressful and overwhelming. However, there are some fundamental things that you should keep in mind before starting off.
1) Understand your space- Every house has some energy within. Feel your house, study the requirements like some spaces are bright, some are peaceful, some spaces are dark etc. Work to balance these energies.
2) Selection of colour pallet- As per Vastu, white & off- white are considered safe options. Not only this, they also make the space look bigger and brighter. Introduce subtle colours in interiors to break the monotony. Also choose colours as per the direction like, north- shades of blues, east- shades of green, south- shades of orange, west – shades of grey.
3) Choose space optimization- Don’t go for too much storage. Make provisions for multiuse, convertible, built-in and closed storage in each room to have more open space for movement. This results in a flow of positive vibrations.
4) Buying corded elements – Do not rush into buying your furniture early. Plan your requirements, take actual measurements on site and match with the interiors. This will prevent you from buying too many articles.
5) Home décor & furnishings- Certainly! When it comes to home décor, subtle changes make a big impact. Opt for shades like beige, pink, purple, peach, and lavender for calming effect. Use shades of green and blue on the eastern and northern sides for positive energy. Avoid overly bright or jarring colours. Choose floral prints over geometric or abstract patterns. Florals add a touch of nature and softness to your decor. Place indoor plants in the North, East and south Eastern side.
