How does design affect a room’s space?
Lighter and cooler colors make the space appear larger. Darker colors make them appear more closed and smaller to the eye. The arrangement of colors or textures in an environment changes the perspective, making the room appear taller, longer, wider, or highlighting a particular element.

كيف يؤثر التصميم على مساحة الغرفة؟
الألوان الفاتحة والأكثر هدوءاً تجعل الغرفة تبدو أكبر، أما الألوان الداكنة تجعلها تبدو أصغر للعين، حيث يؤدي ترتيب الألوان أو التصميم الداخلي لجعل الغرفة تبدو أطول أو أكبر أو أوسع أو تسلط الضوء على عنصر معين.

Our homes need to be prepared for winter every year. The preparation process includes some minimal tasks and some major ones . Ones that you can do yourself and others that you need to consult or hire a professional in order to achieve . in this post I am sharing with you 10 simple check-up steps to do at home to prepare for a cozier and warmer winter days .

Check your windows
Always check the edges for your windows and make sure they are sealed 100 % and wont allow cold air and rain water into the house . Unsealed windows are the first step into several indoor problems such as humidity and rotten walls and it could also cause paint to come off and of course sustaining the heat will be impossible.
You can seal your windows with several materials such as

Caulk Indoor
Double face rubber film tape



Check main entrance door and balcony doors
Usually there are tiny spaces under the wooden doors which allow cold air in and makes maintaining home’s heat impossible. Also check the aluminum edges of the balcony doors similar to windows check up. You can seal your windows with several materials such as:

Foam
Double face rubber film tape
Caulk Indoor


Paint
If you are planning to paint rooms for maintenance of for a new look , then probably this is the last chance to do so , as painting through winter is not recommended due to the humidity and cold weather which will mess up the paint drying process. You can take the chance and try some anti rot paint in needed spots as well.



Plan for heating
And test your heating system. Testing your heating system to make sure its it working efficiently before cold nights hit in will save your time and effort. Make sure it covers the whole place and that it is in good condition and do the right maintenance and cleaning for it.

Indoor plants
If you miss seeing the beauty, colors, and foliage of summer or fall, invest in an indoor plant! It can not only be a great decoration to improve the atmosphere of a room, but it can also help remind you of warmer times. There are a wide variety of different types of indoor plants, so you are sure to find one that you like for your apartment.



Change bedding
Whereas most people might use light cotton sheets in the summer, it is a good idea to switch to a flannel or other thicker bedding before it gets too cold. It is also the time to get warm throws and blankets for the living room as well, and layer up things like throw rugs, cushions, sheepskins, floor rugs and heavy curtains all bring an element of coziness to a room and you’ll have all creature comforts within arm’s reach.

Mood lighting
Add your choice of wall lamps , table lamps and floor lamps. And don’t forget to get a generous amount of scented candles as well, go for warm winter smells such as cinnamon , vanilla a, cloves and citrus .

Pine cones in your interiors
There are several ways to style your home with pinecones either as wall pieces , in display cabinets or as center pieces for tables. In this time of the year pine cones are available in nature for free so all you have to do id finding them and bringing them in.


Rugs and Carpets
Measure your rooms and plan for laying rugs in specific spots or if you want to cover a whole room. This is absolutely the right time to purchase carpets as all carpet vendors prepare offers and collections for pre-winter shoppers.


Prepare your Kitchen
With herbs , dried fruits , honey and lots of vitamin C sources. Display your herbs and herbal tea tablets in glass jars and always have winter fruits displayed on the kitchen table as well , this will give your kitchen a warm scent and feeling and will also encourage you to use these elements frequently which boosts your health through cold winter days.

All of the mentioned steps are easy you can do it yourself to feel warm during winter inside your home. But again you can always ask for consultation from a professional , check out our services and make a request to get the service you need, and remember Everything Starts At Home.
