A new home is an amalgamation of new hopes, new dreams and a lot of new memories. We all dream of having our own space at a certain point in our lives. And in the whole endeavour of searching for the house of our dreams, we often forget a few most essential elements which can make our new abode all the more lively and happy.
A few months back when I was searching for 2 BHK apartments in Jaipur for myself, I got hold of one of the best properties in the city. My husband and I are very excited about moving into our new address soon. However, being an interior designer by profession, I couldn’t stop myself from selecting the decor for my new home too. So, in this write-up, I will share with all my readers some of the essential things which I, or anyone who will move in a new home soon, would require.
Let us now see what they are:
Multipurpose Decor Pieces: To put it simply, buy furniture which can serve a double purpose! For example, a sofa-cum-bed for the drawing room, a lampshade with a built-in USB port (oh yes! Technology has advanced and these are available!), a foldable dining table which can look like a piece of art once folded, etc. Well, you will find many options in the market! Just pay a visit!
Some Paints of Your Choice: This is one of the most important things which can make your home look like your own. Choose paints well and only go for the colours which you and your family members love. After choosing the base colours, you can go for designer and textured wall options too! Trust me, you will be blown over by options in your nearest paint stores!
Luxe Linen Options: Most people carry along their old set of linens in their new homes and this looks tacky! I mean, you will invite your friends and family to pay a visit to your new home, won’t you? So, you should let them see that everything is new, including the linens! Linens can actually make or break the feel of a room. Shell out some money and get some luxe linen ASAP!
Lively Indoor Plants: For a greener and cooler home naturally, put a few indoor plants! You can search through the various options available in the marketplace. Also, you can do a bit of research on the best indoor plants and their usefulness on the internet before making the purchase. These plants are an amazing way to make your home feel fresh all the time!
A Few Artefacts: Lastly, don’t forget to buy a few artefacts. These can be paintings, showpieces, etc. which you are fond of! For example, you can fill one of the blank walls with porcelain plates of different shapes or hang a famous painting by a well-known painter in the wall behind a signature sofa in your living room!
I have already started shopping for my new apartment and I am sure after reading this piece, you can’t keep calm either, isn’t it? So, what are you waiting for? Just make a list of the things you would like to see in your new home and go ahead. Happy shopping!
