Having to spend so much time at home in this new normal must have some of us itching to redecorate our homes. ISHO is here to help guide you to do just that in the best possible way.
The interior of a home will always be a reflection of the people who live in it and the way they inhabit the space. Although some might consider interior decoration trivial, we believe that there is more to making one’s living space more aesthetically pleasing than just looking pretty. It is a very crucial factor in setting the mood of your home and in turn, the state of your mind. A pleasing environment plays a huge role in facilitating stress reduction and mental recovery. As a result your home needs to be a place which pleases you and is a sanctuary of peace. Moreover, the pandemic has dealt us some brand new cards and as we adapt to this new way of life, it is becoming increasingly important to support our mental wellbeing as much as we can.
Decorating the house is also a medium of expressing your creative energy and aesthetic sense. Over the decades, home interiors have evolved to showcase space rather than objects. It has moved far beyond the Victorian style of incorporating heavy textures and ornamentation in interiors. Focusing on colour, space, and shape, contemporary interior design is usually sleek and minimal. The modern furniture should make a bold statement but at the same time be simple and uncluttered. Smooth, clean, geometric shapes are essential.

Use a lighter colour palette for your walls, or add an accent wall to direct focus while you create openness for the rest of the room.
Mirrors
Mirrors can be used to create an illusion of making a room look bigger than it is. All you have to do is strategically place a mirror across from a window or a light source to reflect view and natural lighting, something which can also make the space brighter.
Storage
