“Designing a house is like writing a song: You try as best you can and you have to finish at some point.

So, structure your furniture according to the demand of the size and pattern of the room.

3. Go green

Green is always soothing for the eyes and this statement also justifies the logic to keep trees in the house. You don’t necessarily need to put a big tree in the room which may turn the room in a jungle. But instead you can put a cactus or a small flower tree in a corner of a room or put it over the study table. You can also grow herbs like cilantro, basil, thyme in a small pot and put it in the kitchen and that can easily fill your kitchen with a zest of freshness and the homegrown herbs can also be used while cooking. Also plants need a place to grow especially in a polluted world like ours. So, if   you are not finding place to grow them so just use hanging pots to grow them and give your room a freshness of greenery.

4. Some recycle would definitely help

Don’t throw the old junk or old piece of wood that you have in your home. You never know what purpose it may fulfill. If you don’t have enough money to buy new chairs, then you can use the old pieces of wood to make a small stool and color it with vibrant colors to add a glimpse of glamour. Decorate the old cupboard with flower vases and burnish it wood color. It saves your money and is also environment friendly.

5. Highlight the prominent features of the house

There is always that one prominent feature of a room that highlights the room or it can be that corner of a room that is noticed at first while entering the room. It can be a fireplace in a house or a big white wall or even a wide corridor or a window. The prominent feature of the house does not need to be in the center of a room. It can even be a cozy corner of the house which is situated right beside the window which you can use as a place to sit and chat for hours with your mother or with your best friend. You can decorate the wall that gets noticed the most by aesthetic paintings. Never underestimate the potential that the prominent feature of your   house has and utilize it the most to increase the architectural beauty of your house.

6. Just quirk it up

Don’t always go the easy, clichéd and stereotyped way. Just quirk it up!! Add a pop of color in your bedroom wall by using movie posters as paintings. It can be something unconventional yet innovative. Play with geometric shapes. Use rugs of different shapes and sizes to add a glimpse of color and brightness in the room.

7. Vintage and antiques are timeless

“Old is Gold”. This line is true even while decorating your home. Never ditch the vintage furniture or rug or painting that you have in your house. It can certainly give your house the much needed classiness. And vintage never fails to grab eyeballs. Because always remember that what now is called vintage was once brand new. If placed accurately antiques can also give your interior a touch of freshness and innovativeness.

8. Don’t waste the space

Make sure you can utilize every single corner of the house. In today’s time and especially in the urban lifestyle people adjust in small houses. Not everyone can afford a big house with a large garden in the front. So, make sure you can make the most of what you have. For that, you can use wall hanging cupboards and book shelves to save space. Use lesser furniture to make the bedroom feel big. Use light color both in the walls and the curtains.

The word bamboo tree is commonly known as a misnomer. Although this ‘tree” can grow several feet into the air like a normal tree, it is not actually a tree. The bamboo is actually a type of grass, grasses that are made up of hard yet hollow “stalks”. These “stalks” are capable of withstanding very strong winds, lessening the impact of the wind by flowing with the wind’s current. This allows the bamboo to live off the strongest typhoons that most actual large trees would have not survived against. Growing bamboo became popular as of late, not as a commercial raw material, but as a decoration on homes. You can even take care of indoor bamboo, and here we are to show you how.

Take a good consideration of the plant’s surroundings when watering the bamboo. Most indoor environments let the soil dry up pretty quickly, so you’ll have to water it a little bit more often, but remember not to overdo watering. If you need a good indicator of this, check out the plant’s leaves. If you see the bamboo plant’s leaves sagging, then that means you’re giving it too much water. If you see the leaves curled up, then that means it is not getting enough and should be given more water.

Indoors usually mean away from any element outdoors. Sometimes, this includes sunlight and ventilation. Do not let this happen to your bamboo plant. Position your bamboo plant somewhere where it can get adequate sunlight. Remember, just adequate, anything too much will eventually harm the plant later on.

Sometimes, to take care of indoor bamboo well, you need to mimic the conditions where the plant’s natural habitat is. Bamboos are native to Eastern Asia. The temperatures in this part of the world can vary widely depending on the season, but is usually either cool or hot enough to maintain humidity. Dew is our keyword here, and one good way to mimic the effect of dew on the plant is by misting it. You can use any kind of fine spray to do this. Mist the plant regularly to mimic its natural habitat, but you should do it at regulated intervals; there is practically no need to do this all the time.

The bamboo plant’s peculiar structure allows it to have its own natural shielding against insects and other pest. However there are occasional times where pests fall upon these gentle plants, so a proper pesticide should be kept for these occasional instances.
