We love our homes, our personal spaces. It’s a fact, as humans we love the comfort and security they provide us is essential to our wellbeing and stability. Decorating our spaces helps build an important connection which gives us a sense of belonging and makes us feel grounded. It’s a place we can build memories and truly be ourselves.

Home is not necessarily a physical structure; more importantly it can be a place where you have a sense of belonging to a particular community or neighbourhood. People often form connections with their neighbours and participate in local activities, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Home is a canvas for self-expression. Its an opportunity to decorate your space to reflect your personality, taste, interests, and individual style.

Outside of the home many of us have a favourite place where we get that same sense of belonging. It may be the beach where you feel the sand between your toes or hiking through the rainforest surrounded by the calls of birds and native wildlife. Wherever that place maybe it can often be defined by the peace, serenity and stillness we feel that gives us a moment of distinct oneness with ourselves when our mind in filled with the feelings of that moment, rather than numerous thoughts of past and future continuously competing with each other.

A photograph is a moment in time. A moment of stillness captured in a millisecond. You will find that many people love to have a large print on the wall that can bring them back to that feeling, when you gaze at the image it pulls you in and you get lost in the moment, like a mini meditation.

When decorating a room start with a print that holds significance for you and build your style around that. Choose colours that complement those in the image and natural textures that contrast and create a unique ambience that connects with you.

When decorating its important to also consider the functionality of the space, the overall aesthetic, colour schemes, furniture arrangement, lighting, and incorporating elements that create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

Two key factors when decorating are budget and space. Wall art is one way to make an impact, you can find beautiful photographic prints which are practical and affordable, keeping the cost down you can choose your own frame to add that touch of personality. A large print hung on the wall or sitting atop a sideboard or shelf are also a great way to make an impact in the room whilst not taking up valuable space.
