BEAUTIFY YOUR ABODE
Imagine you are living in dull surroundings, withered walls and unfurnished messy rooms. Where things are at their sixes and sevenths- all topsy-turvy, you will automatically feel low and dispirited.
Hence, it is correctly said,” One’s surroundings have a great psychological bearing on one’s complete well-being”.
Well, that is one reason enough to decorate our homes. The art of designing the interior, often including the exterior of a room or building is known as Interior Designing. Now don’t confuse me with pursuing you to hire an expensive interior designer and spend grands on furnishing your house, rather use your own innovation and creativity, and decorate your own heaven. Find the ARTIST in you!

Use rugs to soften the hard wooden floors. As rugs give warmth and can add great texture, color and personality to your space.
