Making your home an interior design dream!

This article is written by Paul Watson.



Do you ever wander into your home and feel
like you have stumbled onto the set of The Wire? Have your interior design choices
ever been compared to that of Pete Doherty’s? Do you think of that reddening
bit of mold in your bathroom when somebody mentions “warm colors” to you?



It is easy to let your home become a pigsty, but if you want to feel happier and healthier you are going to need to make
a few design changes. Let's go from room to room and give you
some advice, shall we?



Bathroom



Your bathroom is the easiest to let go to
pot. Mold can attach itself to your walls like molluscs to a damp rock, and
that is not to mention lime scale and patches of damp.



Start off by adding aqua colors that are
easy to wipe clean, then invest in a durable bath mat that would not be a
nightmare to wash. For a touch of class and warmth, buy some candles to dot
around the place, giving you the perfect opportunity to have a relaxing soak in
the tub.



Living
room



You will probably spend most of your time in
your living room, whether you are plowing through your latest Breaking Bad box
set, finishing up a good book or hanging out with some friends. No matter what its size, you ideally want
your living room to be as cosy as possible.



Find a focal point in the form of a coffee
table and let it be surrounded by comfy seating. And while you might want at
least one seat to face the telly, try not to let it dominate your living room –
you will only create an anti-social space.



Bedroom



In an ideal world, the bedroom is where
you will head to sleep and nothing else. It is where relaxation truly sets in and
you can drift off in the peace and quiet of a dreamless night.

For the ideal kip, invest in some blackout
curtains to block out the sun, and find a “goldilocks” mattress that will be
comfy enough to ease into but sturdy enough to avoid damaging your back.

However, the room should not just be as
barren as a bed and some curtains. If you struggle to sleep, buy a sound system
that can play relaxing music to lull you into a fulsome snooze. 

Kitchen

When you are creating your culinary
masterpieces, it is important to have the right utensils at hand. Have your pans
and whatnot near the oven, and be sure that your cooking utensils are sturdy
and durable enough to take a battering when you are washing-up.

It is also vital to invest in surfaces that
can withstand spills and burns from your cooking exploits. So, invest
in linoleum or hardwood floors, granite or marble worktops and you will be
set to Gordon Ramsay your nights away.
