FILL OUR HOME WITH CRAFTED DESIGNS AND GOOD VIBES
Shifting to a new house, after almost nine years, gave us some freedom to rearrange our spaces and indulge in our creativity. We do miss the comfort we had in the old place but then what’s life without a few challenges, right? So, hubby and I took advantage of the situation and, with a fresh perspective, decided to fill our home with crafted designs and good vibes.
We love coloured walls. In the old houses, we went a little overboard and chose our favourite colours, like darker shades of teal and brown. Here in the new house, we decided to keep the dark colours for the bedrooms and splurge the walls in the hall and living area with lighter shades. So, we have various colours all over the house, like teal (my favourite), orange and yellow, purple and white, green and white, light green and beige, etc. It feels great when we enter and see colours instead of the age-old whitewash.
After we bought the sofa and coffee tables from IKEA, Bangalore, we decided to get some unique home decor to spice up the place with designs. I loved the red floor cushion. It’s soft, eclectic and big enough for our comfort. Ordering from the website was a breeze and I received the product in less than a week.
In the corners, or whenever you receive a bouquet of roses, you can place some brightly coloured vases to fill the place with decorative patterns and positive vibes.
Placing succulent plants, around the house, is a good option as they keep the air clean and pure.
Initially, we would always buy solid-coloured bedsheets as long as they felt soft. But off late, we have been hunting for breathable bed covers with designs. Recently, we got an Indian-crafted cotton bedsheet with a Mandala design on it. Mandalas represent the circular universe and its creation is said to guide the mind to enlightenment. They are also said to help improve mental health which in turn gives you a good night’s sleep. Don’t we all need that to function properly?

If you’re a believer, a dedicated prayer room or altar is definitely a must. We’re Catholic, so, we have a small altar in the hall. There is a certain feeling of warmth in knowing that someone up there is looking out for us every day of our lives. Do you feel it, too?

Being comfortable in our own home and feeling ‘Home-Sweet-Home’ when we get back is a sign that our house allows us to be calm and free from stress. This should be our comfort zone or the story of our everyday lives. So, if you haven’t already, try and implement the above tips to fill your space with good vibes and smiles. If you have, I would love to know more about how YOU bring positive energies into your home.

Congratulations on moving to your new home!
Thank you, Noor!
Thank you for these amazing Home decoration ideas. And right on time too
The window and the wall look so nice. What is important is we should feel comfortable being at home. There should be warmth and peace. That’s what matters.
The ideas are lovely and they look simply minimalist and beautiful.
Congratulations on the new house, Cindy! Love that floor cushion and the bedsheet. Definitely ordering these for my home
Shifting home is one of the most dreaded tasks. However the silver lining is getting to set up everything with a fresh perspective. Hope the new home brings you guys lots of good luck, good health & joy!
Congratulations! A new home is a new beginning in life and filling it with positivity is filling your life with positive vibes. I loved the living room curtains and shade. It looked bright and airy. The cushion looks so comfortable.
Those vases look interesting. I’m not big on color-blocking walls but love the idea of doing up the house with complementing colors. Having an interior designer mom is definitely an advantage 😀
Diwali is around the corner and your tips are on time. I don’t need to think so much. Love the cushion and bed sheet. This diwali my focus is mainly on bedsheets. That the major one change the whole look of the room.
Lovely ideas, Cindy. It’s the time to shop till u drop but yes, even virtually it can be exhausting 🙂 The sales all over are so tempting but I am trying to pull the reins. The floor cushion is lovely especially coz it has your precious baby sitting on it.
Great ideas. I really liked the bed cover. When my husband was in the army, we used to change house every two years. I used to enjoy trying out new things.
Playing with Wall paint is my favorite when it comes to decoration. Lovely suggestion, Cindy. I am just waiting for Diwali shopping now.
Succulent plants do add a dash of finess to the entire decor.
I just loved the floor cushion concept that you implemented in your home decor plans. If you ask me my personal choices then it will be little bit of greenary indoor to get the feeling of being close to nature even when you are indoor.
These are such simple yet effective ways to make decorate your house and bring positive vibes. I have done that and that’s why totally agree with you.
Superb ideas Cindy, that red cushion with your cutie pie is lovely. Bedsheet looks beautiful….am going to shop a lot for Diwali. Thanks for sharing this.
Congratulations on your new home! It felt so homey already with all your personal touches. I personally would truly enjoy when that time comes that we get to have our own home as well. For now, I’ll enjoy learning for our home rentals which works well and make sure to incorporate all those learnings when we get to build our own.
Ours is currently rental too. 🙂 All the best, Jeannine.
I love how you have set up small spaced in your home and these ideas are lovely! I am a fan of floor cushions. With kids its the easiest thing.
We’re planning to redecorate and after ordering for wallpapers our next step is IKEA as well. Love their collection, especially home decor.
Succulent plants are my absolute favourite. I love seeing coloured walls, but stick to stark white when it comes to my own home decor!
A house as beautiful as yours deserves more than beautiful furnishings Cindy😊. I love the wall colour n the matching curtains. Also the EK cushion…
Thanks, Kaveri!
I 😍 the different decorating style. Lovely suggestions. The best eye catcher was the bed linings, it looks awesome.
