Make your home personal with the right colours and customised wall murals

Decorating your home is an important thing to think about. This is the place you are going to return to every day wanting to relax and unwind, so it needs to be pleasant, attractive, and most of all it needs to represent you as a person. Your home should be the place you feel most comfortable in.

The first thing you need to think about when decorating your home is colour. This is not just a case of personal preference. Studies have shown that different colours have different effects on the mind. For example, colours such as pink, blue, green and lilac have a calming effect, so they are ideal for bedrooms and living rooms. Blue is also a motivational colour, so if you have a study or a gym, it could be a good choice for those rooms.

Once you've picked out your colours, you need to pick out complimentary furniture. Sometimes it's best to do these steps at the same time so you can pick out your favourite items of furniture without having the issues of the colours not matching. You should think about the positioning of your furniture, because if a room is too cluttered it can create a stressful environment.

You can then think about extra details like ornaments and wall art. One great idea which can add extra depth to a room is adding wall murals. These are image made up of wallpaper or wall stickers which cover a wall, making it more interesting. Wall murals are available in all sizes, and can be customised, using a picture of your choice, so they can show anything from a pretty forest scene to a photograph. You can find good deals on these by checking out online shopping deals, and this way you'll have a lot more choice and freedom to customise it.
