Livingroom is a space where we spend a lot of time, whether it is by being alone, or in a company of family and friends. As such, this space needs to be both cozy, functional and inviting, and it often serves as a point of pride in any household. Choosing the color for walls and ceilings is an important step in setting up your room. Neutral and subdued tones usually work great for any space. Rugs are also important, and can be used as a primary floor cover or as an accent element.

Key Takeaways:

• A living room is one of the most multipurpose rooms in the house, so it gets a lot of attention.
• If your house has an open concept you want to mark off your living room area with furnishings.
• Make sure the paint job is harmonious with the rest of the home, and use your ceilings and floors well.

Pantry is a space that is away from prying eyes, and as such, it is often an afterthought when we decorate and organize our home. Yet, it is a very useful space that can serve several purposes. To make it really functional, you may want to group the items by their purpose, so similar items end up being next to each other. In order to avoid storing expired articles, ensure that your organization works in a way that you use up the oldest items first.

Key Takeaways:

• Putting similar items together is only one way to organize a pantry.
• Some foods are not good together and should not go together under any circumstances.
• Aesthetics is not a reason to decant a pantry, there are other more important reasons.

“Yes, it’s true that you should group similar items together—e.g., cooking oils together, nut butters next to one another, spices in the same spot, pastas in one place.”

Decorating your home and living spaces is something that many of us like to do. We are tempted to do this on our own, but some of us recognize the limitations and hire professionals for this job. It is only natural that we go with similar colors, but it is the contrast that has the hidden potential and can make any space truly unique. It does provide a visual effect that is stunning and beautiful. This is one of the easiest ways in which you can make your home truly alluring and personalized.

Key Takeaways:

• Using contrast in home decorating is not done enough, but when used properly it is beautiful.
• Contrast means that items that vary a lot in appearance are near each other in your home.
• You can add items that contrast in color, price range, and more for visual impact in your home.

“It just might be the missing element that would make a difference in your home decor.”

There are quite a few storage ideas that you should steal from a organized English country home. You can set up a station for rain boots which will keep them from cluttering up your home. You also don’t need a dish rack as that will only take up space. Try to get a built in drainer carved into your counter top instead. Finally, get some storage furniture rather than using built in storage. This will allow you to add character and antiques to your home.

Key Takeaways:

• This English home in the country was designed so well that it looks beautiful and doesn’t sacrifice storage.
• Consider building drainage lines into your countertop so you don’t need a dishrack.
• For storage, consider older items and movable furniture instead of built-in spaces.
