The assets are things that you can put into your home to make it feel more like home and more like life. Things like artwork, books, and art supplies can help make your room feel more lived in.
Art supplies can be anything from paint to wood, but one thing that they are mostly limited to is paint. I’m not sure what other materials are appropriate, but I can think of one thing that could work—watercolors.
You can even decorate your room with the things you already have in your home, but the thing that makes your room seem lived in more than anything else is the things you put into it that are not related to your home. You can use anything from empty walls to throw rugs on. Art is one of the things that make a room feel lived in and personal.
One of my favorite things about paint is that it is actually good at giving the illusion of being a canvas. It works like a charm.
We’ve already discussed the value of paint in the context of decorating. But there is another way that it can work to good effect as well. In the case of the room you’re decorating, you are making your room a canvas and painting onto it your favorite part of you. Like in a painting, you can change the color of your artwork if you want to, but it is made up of smaller parts, so you have more freedom and ability to adjust the look of your paintings.
What I would suggest is working with paint that you already have on hand. For example, I have a large and beautiful oil painting of my mom, and I know that I can paint her room in a dark palette with a soft gray wash. The same can be done for the walls, but make sure to take into account your color pallet.
In many cases, the paint on the walls will be the same as the paint on the walls of the room. You can paint the ceiling of another room in another color, but make sure to take into account the colors on the walls of the room.
It’s another trick that decorators are notorious for. You can paint everything in a certain color family, or color family, and still have the same paint on the same wall. Sometimes an entire room or even a whole house is painted in a color family.
Sure they are, but if you don’t use the same colors you are painting the same color family and the paint doesn’t stay on the wall for years.
