Room Décor is not as easy as it seems at the first sight. You may fancy that
glamorous room in the home décor magazine but you may find it almost impossible
to translate into a reality because of the simple reason that the construction
of your home and measurement of your rooms is entirely different. You may be
renting an apartment where you cannot redo the positioning of walls, doors and
windows or have a large large hall you do not seem to put to best use. Color,
lines and furniture arrangement can make a huge difference to your room décor.
We have identified the five most common problems that people often face while
doing room décor and have come up with the possible solutions. These are:
1. Very Long Room
* The best way to deal with a very long room is to split it into two using
screens and room dividers that you may use as study area, living area, dining
room, personal gym or just entertainment room.
* Use warm dark colors on shorter walls to make them advance and give the room a
balanced look.
* You may also define separate areas by using different area rugs.
2. Low Ceiling
* Long curtains that can be draped from above the door level and window level
all the way to the floor, add height to the room.
* Paint ceiling in light cool color to make it recede and add light to the room.
* Tall accessories such as lamps look good and make room look taller too.
* You can add height to a room by installing vertical and tall cabinets or
bookcases in the room.
3. Narrow Room
* Any linear arrangement on shorter walls such as placement of shelves, art
pieces or rugs, will make them look wider.
* Diagonal arrangement of furniture looks better.
* You can also fool the eye by painting your longer walls in cool light colors
to make them recede.
4. Tall Room
* Horizontally placed shelves, crown mouldings and art pieces cut off the height
of the room.
* In such rooms, ceilings should have a warm dark color.
* You can also play the visual trick of installing the mouldings or chair rails
to one half to three quarters of the way up the walls.
5. Very Big Room
* Experiment with warm and dark colors on your wall to make the room look cozier
and friendlier.
* Group furniture pieces into two or more separate seating arrangements.
* Like long rooms, big rooms can also be divided into smaller areas using
screens and room dividers and can be used for better purposes and will make the
room look cozier too.
