Finding Tones That Feel Like Home

Within interior design, it can feel like there are always two forces in your head, giving you two different visions of your living space. The first looks toward sleek, contemporary designs, so that you always have the perfect photographs for social media. The other internal voice tells you that you need to have comfort, otherwise even the most beautiful house can feel more like a museum than a livable environment.

At Paisley House in Houston, TX, our goal is to help you to navigate these difficult waters, through years of experience in the interior design world. If you are struggling to find the balance in your style plan, reach out to us for some helpful tips. We can always be found at our retail shop just west of downtown here in Houston, so swing by and start a discussion with a member of our team. Let us help you to find the balance between chic and comfortable, so your guests feel at home in your communal spaces.

Your Wood Choices Can Be A Great Place To Start

When planning a new room or redesigning your existing space, it is easy to become caught up in color. After all, a bold sofa or accent chair can really provide a bold centerpiece for your furniture, but is this the right move for the comfort of your visitors? Sometimes, it is helpful to take a bit of a step back and think about how this would feel for a first time viewer.

Instead of immediately rushing to the brightest and most vibrant colors, try to focus on material in a way that feels natural. One of the best places to start is with your wood choices, if you are overly focusing on bold pigments. This approach can give you a direction that gives you flexibility in your future purchases. Allow your room to connect with your visitors in a more subtle manner.

Botanical Items Help Us To Calm Down Naturally

There is a biological advantage to bringing in plant matter from the outside world, as we feel inherently more comfortable around nature. Even the smallest addition of reed and bamboo can really bring your living space a sense of life. These items can also help you to connect to your wood choices, either complementing or contrasting the tones in your furniture. Look toward this area for a way to incorporate the outside world into your living space.
