As you know the smallest of touches can make or break the feel of your entire room's decor. Pay careful attention to your lighting scheme. You can make your room lively and jumping with energy or cozy and relaxed with just your lighting choices.
For the Lively LookGo for brightness in your lighting scheme. Silver lined bulbs will look extra bright and it will lend an air of life to your room. You can also add a few mirrors to your room. Large mirrors hung on a wall will serve a two-fold purpose. First of all, they will add the illusion of more space to your room and second they will reflect the light in your room and further bounce the light keeping even normally darkened areas of your room awash with light. Experiment with mirrors in a few locations around your room, you'll see an enormous difference. Add a few splashes of color around your room with bright accent colors. Can't decide what accent color to use? Use your draperies or area rugs and choose a bright, minorly used color in the pattern. It will carry your decor scheme all around the room.
For the Soft and Cozy LookThink soft. Soft colors, soft lighting and soft fabrics. If you don't have a lighting fixture that allows the light to be turned down. Opt for candles all around. Nothing says softness and romance like soft candlelight.
Candles around the room will lend a beautiful light and scented candles will add a boost of relaxing aromatherapy. Much like adding some zip to your room using a bright, minor accent color - use a minor -yet more neutral- color around your room to lend a cozy feel.
