Interior decor isn’t just aesthetics, it affects how we feel whilst we’re in our homes. When the outer world is hectic or grey with city grime, it pays to create a light and restful space that you’ll love to come home to. The two serene home interiors that we’re exploring here today are designed to put forth a sense of peace via light neutral furnishings and smooth finishes. Modern wall panelling builds a comforting cocoon around airy living spaces, building a soothing atmosphere of safe refuge. We’ll take a look at practical layouts that achieve a stress-free environment for daily life, master bedrooms that promote sleep, and effective cosy lighting schemes.
