(NC) When we decorate our homes, we tend to focus on what we can see. Aesthetics are important, but what about the rest of our senses? If you want to transform your space with décor that engages more than just sight, start with these tips from celebrity designer Amanda Aerin.
Change your space with colour and scent
Use colour and scent to improve the overall feeling of a room. Incorporate tones that make you feel happy, along with a fresh and uplifting scent.
Scent plays an important role in creating a room that beckons you to come, sit, and stay awhile, explains Aerin.
Try using Febreze Unstopables Touch fabric spray on all those soft surfaces you like to touch and feel from your couch to your bed. The scent is touch activated, so cozy up to your favourite pillow or throw for a burst of long-lasting freshness.
Set the mood with sound and texture
Nothing transforms your homes atmosphere quite like music. The right type of music can boost your mood or help you unwind, so throw on your favourite playlist or the calming sounds of nature and watch how quickly the ambience changes.
Continue with your sensory design by including touchable textures. Choose objects that will bring warmth and depth to your surroundings, and that also feel wonderful to touch like a velvet sofa, wool blanket, textured rug or fur pillow.
These are the things that make a room feel warm, inviting and complete.
