1. Creating zones is important so that there
are defined areas for seating, TV viewing, activities, eating which have
passage ways in between. So grouping is important – group the seating with
coffee table, side table, lamps. Avoid matching it all so there is a sense of
the unexpected. Then allow for walk through passages leading to another
zone.
2. Hanging artworks, interesting objects with
care, together rather than scattered – avoid hanging one picture in the middle
of each wall. Collect interesting posters, images, children’s drawings, blow up
family photos, frame them, group them on one or two walls in the living room,
turn a corridor wall into a gallery, create a large colourful notice board on
which to pin favourite photos, postcards, drawings etc.
3.
In a house that’s well lived in, chaos can reign – so make sure there is
one room that is tidy, organised and feels good to be in so that you have your
favourite things to look at and enjoy. Here peace will reign and you will
benefit. The entry point into a home is important – have a bench for shoes and
boots to go under, a place for umbrellas and school bags, a box or basket in
which to throw all the odd bits to keep them in one place. Keeping things in
their own space – a row of hooks creates a sense of organisation, an awareness
of the environment you live in.
