Have you ever walked into a home and instantaneously felt a pleasant feeling of welcoming? Many would like to create that same ambience in their homes. The good news is that creating such atmosphere and ambience may not even impact your wallet. Here are some helpful tips that will make you fall in love with your home again, and give your guests that pleasant cozy feeling when they walk through your front door.
First, focus on the lighting. If you know you are expecting company, open all the curtains and turn on any lamps, and light fixtures even if it is daytime. Light not only opens up a room, but also creates a sensation that the room is actually larger than it is. Another way to establish character in a room is to create visual impact by adding a mirror, painting, or sculpture to an empty space. This is a great opportunity to bring the whole room together or highlight a particular aspect of your decor, so consider what you already have in place. One more way to make your guests feel comfortable in your home is with the use of scents. There are many ways to add wonderful smells to your home, but be careful not to go overboard with scents as a little can go a long way. Lighting a softly fragranced candle or perhaps just the smell of a brewing coffee pot is all you need to finish off the overall sense of welcoming.
