A home with soul is a special place where you feel warmth, tranquility and happiness. This is achieved by surrounding yourself with all of the things that you love, to create a beautiful, harmonious environment.
Add soul to your home by implementing these 5 interior styling ideas:
(1) Display Photos and Artefacts
My living room is decorated with portrait photos, found treasures from holidays and art work that my children have made. All of these sentimental items enrich and add meaning to my home.


(2) Use Natural Materials
Natural materials will make your home warm and inviting. I love decorating with wooden tables, woven baskets, linen cushions and shades, woollen throws, and any handmade artefact that is made of a natural material.

(3) Add Indoor Plants
Indoor plants will freshen and add life to every room. They will soften hard edges and make your home feel more tranquil. I personally love potted orchids as they add an elegant, exotic touch to my living room. According to Wassily Kandinsky ‘Green is the most restful colour that exists’

(4) Decorate with Soft Furnishings
Warm coloured and textured cushions, throws, and floor rugs will create a warm and inviting space. Installing window dressings will make the room feel complete as they will enhance the style and feel of the room.

(5) Consider Accent Lighting
Accent lighting will create a soft ambient feel to any room. To create this affect select from table lamps, hanging feature lights, and floor lamps. Consider using dimmer switches on your general lighting to control the light and mood of the room.
