Design Tips Something almost all decorators will tell you is that rules are meant to be broken. It is more important that the decor in your home reflects your living style and your personality than any conventional rule. Find a balance so that a home doesn’t become too boring or too busy. Here are few pointers: l Never push furniture up against the walls. l When decorating your home, don’t forget ceilings. One tends to think of the walls, the furniture and the floor. You can be just as creative with the space overhead. l Use pinches of colour to make a room look youthful and engaging. l Don’t be afraid to try something new. You can always change it. l Don’t ignore the lighting. The right kind of lighting in the right space will add a glow and warmth to your surroundings. l Accessorise! Accessories are a great way to add a personal touch and tie in the decor. l Don’t forget that a well-designed home is one that is both comfortable and functional.
