Inspired Home Design: Create a Home Where You Can Be at Your Best by Cynthia Abel Home is a place where you go to be at peace, comfortable, and happy. It is your sanctuary. If you are interested in creating a home where you can be at your best then it is time to do some inspired decorating. Have a clear vision of the feeling It is important to have a clear vision about the feeling you want to evoke. It is best to focus on one room at a time. For each room ask yourself: Who uses the room? How is the room used? What is the feeling you want to have when in this room? For example, the family room is usually used by family and close friends. It is a place where people gather to watch tv, talk, play games, and relax. The feelings you would want to have in this room are comfort, happiness, and a sense of playfulness. Transform the feeling into something tangible Now that you have a vision of the feeling you want to create it is time to transform it into something tangible. You do this by asking yourself these questions: What physical objects look like [insert your feeling here]? What colors evoke [insert your feeling here]? What scents smell like [insert your feeling here]? What fabrics feel like [insert your feeling here]? What music sounds like [insert your feeling here]? What foods taste like [insert your feeling here]? Write down anything and everything that comes to mind. Write as if you have an unlimited budget. Write without thinking. Write everything down no matter how silly and regardless of whether it fits into your perceived personal style. Write, write, write. From Paper to Project This is the easy part. Look at your room and start taking out things that don’t evoke the feeling you want to have in the room. In addition, look at your list and start incorporating some of those things into the room. Don’t try to do this all at one time. Do one or two things then take a break to notice and appreciate your efforts. Be patient, do a little bit at a time, and soon you will have a home that inspires you to be your best. Cynthia Abel, is Broker/Owner of Southern Nevada Realty.
