Since we have a pandemic going on at the moment, many of us have to work from home. But how can you rest properly if you always have your workplace in front of your eyes? To prevent this, we recommend separating the spaces for work and for rest. This will help you achieve a calming atmosphere and help you unwind after work.

5. Artworks as wall décor

The right choice of style and the right colour scheme can not only make the room look much more pleasant, but can also help you feel better while looking at the piece. Sounds really nice, right?

2. Wall paint

If you really want some changes in your home and you think that simply decorating won’t help you achieve the results you are hoping for, then you should consider painting the walls with colourful schemes. But be careful, choosing the wrong colour could make your space seem cluttered and could decrease motivation, as well as your mood.

3. Colourful artworks

If you don’t have time to water your flowers, or if you feel like it does not fit your interior, don’t worry! Instead of using plants and flowers as decoration, you could just simply go with colourful artworks. That would not only create an unforgettable atmosphere in your room, but it would also help you liven up your spaces by using the right pieces. Need inspiration?

Having artworks that depict leaves instead of the whole plant may be a better option and here’s why. The leaves fill up the canvas in a way that makes the image seem fuller whilst also creating a jungle-like atmosphere.
