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.

How to make rooms appear larger?
Walls
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
Utilizing hidden storage or multi-functional furniture is pivotal in creating a decluttered space. Less (stuff) is more (space)! Opt for smart options that provide lots of storage space and occupy little floor space.
How to enhance the use of small spaces?
Keep it Simple
The trick is to keep the space bright and tidy. Add storage and allow pathways to bring about a sense of flow within your space. Most importantly, plan the layout first and choose your furniture wisely.
Focus on the Vertical
Whether it’s a tall wall shelf such as our Sonargaon shelf, or a statement ceiling lamp like the Rametto lamp, emphasising on that one element allows a sense of openness for the rest of the space.
How to make a living room more colourful?
Liven Things Up
Give your walls a makeover! Pick a trendy colour such as burnt orange and make that wall pop. Vivid, bright colour has a powerful effect on human emotions, it will help uplift your mood when you feel blue.
A Pop of Colour
Pick furniture that is colourful or has patterns against a neutral background. Colourful velvets are very in at the moment; go with ISHO’s Smithfield or Malmo Sofas or Pompeii Armchair to complete that iridescent touch you are looking for.
Accessorise!
Decorate with cushions and rugs or with seasonal flowers in vases. Add a painting that compliments your colour scheme – that always works. As your guests will spend the bulk of their time in the living room, adding personal touches to it will enhance the warmth of your home.
What are the best ideas for a foyer?
A foyer provides the perfect opportunity to set the tone for your home. Therefore, you should decorate it with care so that you and your friends and family can enjoy the effect from the second they walk in through the door.
Trendy
Set up a stylish corner with muted hues and a large mirror.
Functional
Put the space to good use by adding an elegant sit and store lounge sofa.
Lavish
When you have the space for it, a chandelier, a large round table and flower arrangements in the foyer can help make a grand statement.
