If you're as busy as I am a lot of your living space is simply functional. While this is great and covers our needs, adding a few of your wants to a boring room can really add to your productivity as well as comfort. Most of the time people come up with a basic room plan, paint and furnish to their taste, only to end up with a stale spartan room that really only serves as a backdrop to a potentially awesome living space. Once you have the functional foundation laid out its time to get creative and add a bit of your own personal style to your newly renovated room. Below are few key points you can follow that will really add a touch of class and spruces up any living space.

1. Find Something Unique - Flat walls and solid furnishings are fine but if you really want to liven up your living space you need to look for some interesting furniture. Don't go over bored but be creative with one or two unique eye catching pieces that can really bring life to your room. Go with your gut and the feeling you would like to get when you enter the room, something like an intricately detailed rocking chair can really give substance to a room. Maybe you're a little more modern and chic, go with it but don't be afraid to shout a little with a bright green ottoman or huge bold accent pillows.

2. Get in Touch - Nothing brings more life to a room than stimulating all of the senses, when it comes to interior design one of the most powerful and oft overlooked sense is that of touch. Fibers, textures, and grains really play a part in the feeling you get from a room. Use contrasting elements to balance out your design like a comfy shag rug with silky smooth drapes. Combine the rough with the soft and the shiny with the matte to give more depth to a shallow room.

3. Something Old and Something New - While a room full of antiques might not function well one or two carefully selected classic pieces can really dignify your room and add a very regal air. A large antique chest or even a commanding хэнд crafted armoire is great for adding the element of value to your decor.

4. Bring the Outdoors In - Adding a touch of nature is always key to sprucing up your living space. Fresh plants and flowers are an excellent way to add authenticity to your color scheme with the added health benefit of cleaner air. Even if you going synthetic, silk and plastic flowers are still great for your home decor. Remember to not try to simulate reality with artificial flowers, instead use them for the bold modern accents that they are and be sure that they are well dusted and gleaming.

5. The Pillow is Your Friend - Time and time again I've been amazed out how decorative accent pillows can completely transform a boring room. From the living room, to the bed room, study and everything in between adding a few decorative throw pillows can really bring any sofa, bed, or chair to life.

6. Give it Some "You" - Many times livening up a room doesn't require any additional purchases at all. A lot of your collectables and keep sakes should come out of the closet and be front and center in your interior design scheme. If you have a collection of anything close to you from vases to hats, miniatures, art work and more consider basing a room on this theme and you will find that you truly love your decor.
