First, to properly decorate your home, you have to find a style and stick to it. If you opt for a rustic decor in the living room, it is better to find the same atmosphere in the other rooms. The challenge then is to create harmony. This is essential to feel good at home.
Today, there are many different styles: modern, vintage, design, retro, contemporary, Scandinavian… Use this atmosphere as a basis for your layout. This will make it easier for you to choose furniture and decorative accessories (curtain, carpet, light fixture, frame, etc.).
Advice : when adopting a style, we often tend to accumulate decorative elements. However, it is better to avoid overloading the decoration of the living room. Do not clutter the room with furniture or decorative items. The living room must remain pleasant to live in and practical. On the other hand, it is better to bet on beautiful objects rather than playing the card of overcrowding. A matter of style!

And to compose a harmonious picture in your bedroom, bet on natural materials such as wood. You should also know that caning, like wicker and rattan, are particularly trendy.

In a room with a relaxing atmosphere geared towards current trends, bet on a natural decoration. Linen curtain, rattan or wicker light fixture, green plants to add a touch green, macrame suspension above the bed, cane headboard… But be careful, it is better to choose a few strong pieces rather than to bring together all the fashionable decorative accessories in one place.
