Busting Home Decor Myths

Home décor is an art in itself. You add a new dimension while you decorate your beloved home. When it comes to decorating it, you don’t need to have any restrictions. However, it is said that there are some rules which dictate the process and should never be questioned. Ever! We are going to bust some home décor myths. So here it goes.

White is not always right:  
It is said that the color white is perfect for every room, especially for the ceiling. That’s not always right. It’s a popular belief that white ceiling makes your room larger, brighter and brings positive energy to home and your lives’.  You can play with any color of your choice for the ‘ideal ceiling’. You can even apply white color in your ceiling but with black stripes.



Don’t mix pattern with prints:
Many people are of the view that mixing patterns with prints doesn’t work. You can mix different types of patterns with prints. Using your common sense will be the ultimate solution to this problem. It’s only your vision of the ‘dream home’ that should be the vital one. Placing white colored cushions on your bed sheet with blue prints looks amusing. You can also use velvet curtains with patterns around the room and even can place a green sofa against the yellow wall as the background.




You should not experiment with your vintage assets:
People share a special pride for possessing vintage assets ranging from age-old furniture, gadgets and even clothes. However, many people hesitate about experimenting with their vintage assets. The sky is the limit when it comes to experimenting with your prized vintage assets. You can paint your old dark red table or even put a bright new age bed sheet on your protected vintage bed. This creates a marriage between the two worlds, the Vintage and modern.




Mixing Blue and Green doesn’t work:  
Many people follow the notion that mixing blue and green color does not work. According to them, it won’t be appealing to the on-lookers. Even though blue and green are known to be the cold ones in the color scale, mixing or even applying both of these colors in a proper way will be appealing to the viewers. You can spread a green bed sheet on your bed with blue pillows over it. Mixing of these two colors adds cool dimension to the room.




Sofa is the most important feature of the living room:  
Many people are of the view that sofa is the most important feature of the living room. But is that true?. Certainly not. You can make any item of your living room it’s most important feature. Items like cushions, curtains, tables, television, vases, etc can also be the special feature of your living room.
In the end, it’s likely to say that myths put barrier to your home décor. Your decision and creativity are the solution to put an end to it. Experiment with different colors, styles and items in order to add new dimension and life to the home of your dreams.
