Cushionizing your house or apartment
Cushionizing your house or apartment
Part 1
When you have decided and structured the decoration of your house or apartment and proceeded to create a unique design on the fabric of a hand me down furniture, carpet or rug, and wall, the following step, of course is to commence to make the environment more cuddly and comfortable. Each one of the rooms will require a special treatment either in the form of accessories or in the form of plants.
• Living room
This is the room that will receive the biggest amount of visitors, therefore, it should be the most friendly, the most versatile, and the easiest to clean at the same time. This is no simple matter and in most cases is something that will require additional effort, yet, by using cushions you can make the most resilient and ugly of the furniture into a cuddly piece.
For instance, if the furniture that your relatives or you were able to acquire in a second hand store or a garage sale is decorated in a block color such as brick red or brown, and you decided to customize it with fabric painting a wonderful marine scene or a flower bouquet. You can accentuate and finish the idea by using cushions whose fabrics hold the colors that you used on your designs.
• Dinning room
Of course, it will be more than strange to have a dinning room that is flooded with cushions, however, you can still accessorize a fabric painted chair cushion with a smaller one, just as you did with the living room cushioning relations. Just make sure that the cushions that you use for the dinning room are small enough to fit in the little void that is formed in the lower back.
Other than that, this room, the second most visited room in the house or apartment can only resist and endure accessories and plants. If you choose plants, remember to select only those who will grow and flourish with little to no care, since when you leave the house or apartment that you have during college or university vacations there will be no one left to water them.
Unless you can figure out a way to keep the moisturized and well during your stay, have roommates that will remain in the house or apartment for the duration of your trip or have someone who you trust enough to give him or her your house or apartment keys allowing him or her to enter to water the plants.
