Small Tricks for Adding Warmth to Your Home Décor

Small Tricks for Adding Warmth to Your Home Décor

Small towns are full of quaint, sweet houses perfect for individuals with eclectic style. Eclectic style is characterized by mixing items of multiple design genres and placing them in close proximity of one another. The contrast creates a sense of warmth and charm. It’s easy to do, especially if you have an eye for unique items that have a lot of character or are conversation starters. Just be sure not to overdo it with knickknacks – keep surfaces and spaces edited down and curated for an elevated style. Here are a few hints for adding warmth to your eclectic style.

Living Things

Plants and flowers always add charm to a space. Even if you’re not the best at keeping plants alive, many companies now manufacture artificial plants that look almost exactly like the real thing. A bit of green or a splash of natural color go a long way. Choose plants that match your design aesthetic. If you prefer real plants but don’t have a green thumb, succulents and cacti are fantastic options that require little attention – just be sure to give them enough sun. Choose cute, interesting pots with splashes of color and in multiple shapes to give dimension.

Photographs

Photographs always bring warmth and charm into a room, but you want to make sure to match the aesthetic of the photos to your design aesthetic. Many small towns have homes that hold a good deal of charm already, such as homes for sale in Elizabethtown, KY. If your home has its own style, such as a Victorian, a craftsman, or a mid-century home, use elements from its built-in character to determine what kind of frames to purchase. Your grandparents’ church directory picture may not be the best option to put in the frames – choose candid photos that evoke every-day beauty rather than ultra-posed photos.

Books

Shelves full of books may not be the most popular in design magazines, and with everything becoming more digital, they may not be as prevalent in homes anymore. However, few things are more charming than a shelf full books just waiting to be enjoyed. If you’d like to add a bit more design to your book titles, consider organizing them on the shelves by spine color. Even a small shelf below a window or a sweet little end table full of 15-20 books adds charm.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
