On Furniture - Once the theme is set, it’s time to think about what should fill the dwelling, beginning from the essentials. Furniture that is considered a staple in every room should be on top of list, followed by furnishings to dress it up. “These are the soft materials like curtains, rugs, and throw pillows. These will add to the character of the furniture,” Pojie shares.@ourhome_ph
On Home Décor And Accessories - Add more depth to the design by playing with accessories, like table top accoutrements, picture frames, floral stylings, vases, knick-knacks that will introduce a very personal touch, the dean describes. And finally, finish off with lighting to create ambiance. “These may be in the form of chandeliers and pendant lights, table lamps and floor lamps, and even pin lights,” he offers.@ourhome_ph
Add Soft Furnishings For Comfort - If the dweller is particular with bedroom comfort, Pojie says that the den should be styled in a way that it provides the essentials to comfort. “Invest in very good pillows on the bed—shams, throws, and bolsters will add a plus factor aside from just putting in standard pillows. A throw rug or a throw blanket on the bed also gives it something extra. And invest also in very good lighting. Table lamps on bedside tables add ambiance and warmth in the bedroom while also providing the best source of lighting for color rendition,” he explains.@ourhome_ph
Scentscaping Is Essential To Convey The Mood - The dean also points out the importance of scents, and lists down home fragrances that fit the dwellers’ mood and needs. “Lavender is for cleansing and healing. It can bring about a relaxed atmosphere and can be used to induce rest and sleep. Vanilla is uplifting. It helps with insomnia and is very calming. Lemongrass is used to aid in eliminating fatigue and promotes sleep.' Lemongrass is also natural insect repellent. Green Tea eliminates sleepiness and increases alertness. Finally, eucalyptus can enlighten and increase concentration,” Pojie enumerates.@ourhome_ph

On Natural Light And Reflective Surfaces - And even with limited space, there’s no excuse not to have a spacious-looking home with a few design tips. Pojie begins with a play on colors—urging one to go for light and neutral hues. The designer also suggests providing ample illumination to eliminate shadows, as a well-lit home creates the illusion of a bigger space. Mirrors also help and can double as accents on walls.@marvalutich_sfrealtor
