If your “stuck-at-home” life has got you feeling frazzled then we would like to offer four helpful hints for creating some serenity at home.

Utilize a Soothing Color Palette

Believe it or not, the smallest elements of our surroundings can have a big impact on our mood.  This includes the colors that we are exposed to daily.  Utilizing a soothing color palette is a great way to boost your serenity. As an example, this gorgeous artwork print has incorporated a plethora of soothing colors.  We are especially drawn to the pale greens and the moody blue in this artwork. 

Green is a great color for an infusion of good vibes and a pale taupe-y green like Benjamin Moore’s Dune Grass is the perfect base color to soothe and relax.  More vibrant greens and blues are invigorating colors and make excellent accent colors on a wall or in your décor.

Be a Color Minimalist

Resist the urge to match every color in your inspiration piece.  When we restrict our color palette to only one main color and two to three accent colors it keeps our eyes happy and our brain relaxed. 

A clean white floral arrangement is the perfect complement to a bright multi-tonal throw.  If you love a boldly colored rug then try pairing it with an open weave, neutral lamp to lighten and brighten your space.  Lastly, add in neutral textured pieces to add depth without overwhelming the senses. The warm texture of our Natural Fringe Pillow coordinates beautifully with the clean lines and invigorating colors of our Green Multi-Layer Vase.

Maximize Texture

You may feel tempted to avoid texture when your space has you feeling frazzled.  However, adding in a variety of textures (while still being a color minimalist) can actually soothe your senses.  Sometimes, we underestimate the value of feeding our tactile senses.

So, fill in the details in your décor with maximum texture to invigorate and refresh your space.

Remember the Big Picture

Often, we get so excited about a new re-decorating project that we jump right into all the tiny details and forget to solidify our big picture and grand idea.  Sometimes, we need to take a step back and re-assess.  Usually, that means getting some decorating assistance.  Here at Details of Design, we would love to be a resource for you and are always happy to be that second pair of eyes on your decorating project.  Plus, we also have direct access to a full-service design firm to help you coordinate those big projects that you are hesitant to tackle.

So, don’t forget to reach out to your friendly neighborhood design team at Details.  We are here to help you remember your big picture AND to help you fill in all the important details.
