The home is the place where we spend most of our time. It provides calm, security, and a sense of belonging for everyone who enters. Therefore, the home should be decorated in a way that reflects your personality and style, so you can feel at home. With these 5 rules, you can turn your house into your dream home in no time.
1. Know your interior style
Decorating your home is a special opportunity for you to express your personality. You can do this by choosing a color scheme that suits your style, selecting furniture with shapes and functions that complement the room, and choosing decorative items for the living room in colors or patterns that reflect who you are.
This rule cannot be emphasized enough: You need to know what you like before you buy anything for your space! If you are unsure how to do this on your own, or if you want to avoid mistakes along the way, you can try one (or more) of these tips:
Ask a friend for advice on home decoration. Browse interior design magazines. Check your favorite interior design blogs, Instagram profiles, and websites for ideas on color combinations, furniture, or other decorative items you like.
Another tip is to choose some key elements for decorating your home. These can be furniture or items that tie your home together and complement the rest of the room. It could be furniture such as a sofa or a coffee table in one color with matching lamps on the side tables around it, artworks and posters hanging around the room to make it feel more like "their" space, or carefully placed cushions in specific colors on, for example, a sofa. Here is a good example of a key piece of furniture that stands out. The round table on three legs is made by the artist and furniture designer Rune Elmegaard.

When choosing your key furniture for decoration, always remember to consider your needs regarding the furniture's purpose, style, comfort, and functionality.
2. Use colors and patterns that make you happy
The second tip is to use colors and patterns that make you happy. You will live with the color scheme in your home for a while, so it is important to know whether they will make you happy or not before you commit. It can also help everyone in your household feel comfortable when they come home from work or school – a colored room has been shown to contribute positively to mental health by reducing stress levels.
Art prints are an easy way to add some colorful colors with very little effort! Posters help give a room personality through colors and patterns. You can also find them in many different sizes, so you are sure to find something that fits your needs. However, there is a big difference in the impact of an art print sized 30x40 and one sized 70x100, so remember to consider the size before choosing your poster(s) for your home. If you want a new art print to help with the decoration in your home, it is easy to switch to new colors or patterns.
3. Be aware of what will work in your room
The best way to decorate a room is by being aware of what will work in it. It doesn't matter how big, small, or smart your home is – every square meter counts! You might be surprised by the number of ways you can use the extra space, for example by adding shelves for books and magazines, using wall decorations to give an otherwise dull room character, or hanging beautiful art prints on the walls. Make sure, when choosing elements for your decoration, that they fit the style of your house and are aesthetically pleasing.

4. Use art prints to make your walls stand out
Art prints are a fantastic way to make your walls stand out! They are easy to change and allow you to express yourself. Whether it is an abstract work or a piece with bright colors, it is easy to find something to your taste. Art prints are also great for adding extra personality to a room.

5. Add some green to make your room feel fresh and alive
If you add some plants to your decoration, it can make a big difference to the atmosphere in your room. Plants, flowers, and green leaves bring life, whether you want to create an office with a green and healthy environment or just have some plants as decoration.
What to take away from this article
The first rule for successful home decoration is to know your own style. You need to know what you like and don’t like, as well as which colors make you happy. For example, if you have a lot of space in your living room, you can try using patterns or colors with large shapes that fill more space without covering too much wall area at once. That way, the pattern, even if it is not perfect on one side of the room, can be balanced by another pattern elsewhere. It is also important to be aware of what would work in your room when decorating; sometimes people forget this step because they are so focused on making their walls look functional instead of beautiful! Finally, adding some green in your home helps create a welcoming feeling and a nice atmosphere. See all our posters here
