Designing a Serene, Calming Room
After a hard day's work, you don't want to come home to a room that will keep you stressed and tense. Sometimes all you need to do is a little rearranging of your furnishings or add a functional piece or two to make your living room a serene and calm place to relax.
If you're living room is full of loud colors or stark contrasts, that may be the reason you can't relax. Studies have shown that colors really do have a psychological effect on the human brain and can cause mood swings from anger to peaceful feelings depending on the colors that the person is exposed to.
Painting your room may not be an option at this time, however you can lesson the contrasting colors in your room by utilizing throws for your furniture and matching your window treatments to the throws. Also, endeavor to make your room more comfortable through the use of softening items such as big, cushy pillows.
Plants will bring a sense of serenity to your room and if you don't have time or patience to keep a living plant at its best, consider a silk plant or two. They aren't the same cheaply wrapped pieces of wire you might remember. Silk plants of today are hard to distinguish from the real thing in a lot of cases. Add a fern or a stately rubber tree plant to your room. A tall plant in a corner or small wall space with a plant on a plant stand is a great way to use up unused space and create continuity in your room.
