Home Decor For Comfortable Living

In this post I want to talk about home decor and how it adds to the comfort you’ll enjoy from your home. Most people see home decor as aesthetically pleasing affects of home design and home furnishings. I see things a little differently.

Home decor to me is much more than just the furniture, appliances and other accoutrements in your home. Home decor should be about making your home comfortable to live in. A place where you want to come to for respite and to recharge your batteries. Home decor should equate to fun and frivolity and comfort and leisure. So many homes are just too stuffy with all their high end contemporary furniture.

This is not helpful. It’s not helpful to guests who fell stiff when they enter your home, and it’s not helpful to your family, especially children who feel on edge all of the time when they are at home and can’t feel like they can let go and play.

So how can you make your home decor equal comfort and ease? Well, I want to share a few tips and strategies that have helped me overcome my OCD cleanliness and clinical attitude when it comes to living at home. I swear, it was almost like I was living in a hospitable. Nothing was out of place and nothing was ever dirty. Only the most powerful home cleaners for me.

But then we had kids and that made me realize I needed to lighten up a little bit. So I started choosing function over form and not the other way around. I found this was hard at first with my compulsiveness towards order. But after a while I saw the aesthetic appeal to this style of interior home design.

So choose appliances that are quality but convenient too. Keep appliances away from children as much as possible as you don’t want them getting hurt or the appliances breaking. Also choose furniture that is adequate with what you need but not over the top. You shouldn’t freak out about the occasional coffee spill on your coffee table for example.

Couches should be comfortable and easy to clean with not shard edges. Getting some Scotch guard on them is a good idea as this stuff really works to help keep stains away. And perhaps the biggest tip I could offer you is to use flair and individuality when it comes to art and decoration. Home made and hand made beats prints and giclee’s any day.
