Take a good look at your home. Walk through each room and really take notice. How does it make you feel? Do all the spaces just run together without much interest or distinction? Do certain areas make you feel cheerful and upbeat? Some rooms may even feel a little stark or just downright depressing.
So, now that you have determined the kind of energy your home or a particular space gives off, what kind of energy do you want it to project? It might help to give more attention to detail and decide what type of energy each space should convey, depending on what the space is used for.
A bedroom is used for sleeping and relaxing, so it should offer the essence of tranquility. It should have soothing, calming colors, and should exude softness and comfort. There should be minimal clutter and distractions.
In a family room, warmth, rich color, and texture will help create an inviting look that makes the space feel like the center of the home. The energy here says come right in and make yourself comfortable. This type of space should be fairly casual. It should be one in which people aren’t self conscious about kicking their shoes off and kicking back on the sofa.
The energy that people feel in a space will determine how comfortable they will be in that space and how much time they will spend there. A dark, dreary room tends to extinguish good moods. Most people prefer not to spend much time in such a space. Even if you are unable to completely redecorate, you can add a bit of color with just a few bright accessories and add some additional lighting to brighten things right up.
Little touches can make a big difference, so inject some good energy into your home if it’s lacking.
