It's as if someone came along, waved a magic wand, and all of a sudden. Everything was beautiful.

Fremont, CA: It's as if someone came along, waved a magic wand, and all of a sudden, everything was beautiful. Unfortunately, designers cannot provide users with the magic wand; but, but they can give the users some fundamental decorating concepts that will allow users to build their bit of enchantment at home. Here's all one needs to know about it.

• Mix up shapes

The nature of more oversized furniture items like couches, sideboards, and storage units means that most living rooms will contain many rectangles and squares. Consider adding some circles to the area if users find it has many lines and straight angles. The possibilities are endless: a circular coffee table, a set of round side tables, a round rug, a round wall hanging.

• Fake height

To provide the appearance of room height, choose low-profile furniture like sofas and coffee tables. Then, increase the size of the room by using tall, slender bookshelves that pull the eye upwards and make the walls and windows look higher. 

Such a method of mixing different heights will also assist in creating a relaxing atmosphere in the house.

• Anchor your room

Rugs are the most common items missing from many homes, so they're generally towards the top of the list of things to buy as part of a restyle. Rugs are a fantastic way to bring color, texture, and comfort to a space while anchoring it.

• Take a step back

Take a step back and look around the entire room. Viewing a space from a distance, as interior designers know, makes it simple to identify what needs to get replaced, added, or removed, whether it's an empty wall that needs to get filled, a wall that requires color, or a corner crying out for a tall plant.

• Off the wall

A sofa does not have to get placed against a wall. Instead, pull it out a meter or two and replace it with a shelf unit or console on the wall if the user has the room. It provides design options behind the sofa, but it also helps split up the space and make it feel cozier and inviting.
