to be , “ the room feels too dark and too cold .” This is indivertibly the ultimate goal .
There is a reason for the coolness , especially when working with shades of purple . Like the oceanic themes , deep space or astronomical themes are becoming just as popular . Deep space is cold , dark , and full of mystery , so if these are characteristics that you can identify with when it comes to design elements , then you will have no problem finding inspiration . Star-studded skies , asteroids , and various shades of purple , blue , and pink are core additions when taking on this theme . But , how do we break up the coldness ? What is going to make the space more inviting ? Stars .
This is not recommending the purchase of those sticky , glow-in-the-dark star / planet decals . Lighting is going to be key , however , so look for smaller , twinkling accents , such as recessed dimmers or taller lamps that shine down into the corners of the room for a warm , yet far-off effect . The installation of a fireplace is not suggested , because it will take away the deep space design , and turn it into something much more royal and Victorian , which is not the look you ’ re going for here . The best rooms to incorporate this theme in are a bedroom or a den / movie room , where darkness is already a design factor in the overall layout .
Say goodbye to tired designs , find a theme that sparks your interest , and let your imagination run wild . Have fun with the new design . There are many options to choose from when it comes to the different elements that can be incorporated , from house plants , to décor .
This year , remember , quirky is encouraged , artisanal is a must-have , and organic means natural , stripped finishes with little-to-no varying color contrast . At first , breaking the color-pop habit is going to be hard , but put down the neons and pastels , and start your upgrade to a much swankier space that you can both enjoy your downtime in , and still function in during the busier days .
