The festive season is the perfect time to give your house a makeover. Here’s design tips how to make your living space look fresh and decorate your home with the right accessories, designer ceilings and a lot more.

*Furniture and accessories:

It’s that time of the year again, when investing in new furniture seems like a great idea. Replace your old sofa, table or bed with the latest options available in the market. In case you don’t want to switch your furniture, changing its fabric or upholstery is always an option. Use traditionally vibrant or bold colours to add the festive effect. You can accessorise with elegant curtains, rugs, vases, scented candles and other glassware.

*De-clutter or re-arrange:

Festivals mean an inflow of guests, which often leads to space issues. Take out some time and start to de-clutter your premises. Get rid of the unwanted stuff and let your space breathe. In addition to de- cluttering, don’t forget to rearrange. Move your furniture around, let the sofa be closer to the wall and coffee table in the centre. This will make your living room look bigger.

Designer ceilings can be customised to the design of your choice and can be installed in as much as a week’s time.

*Light up your festive mood:

One often relates ambience to the lighting provided in a particular space, and creating an ambience can be made easy by choosing the right kind of lighting. A big advantage of installing designer ceilings is the high quality LED lights that can be fixed seamlessly, without worrying about high electricity bills.
