A person that notably cares about the environment, for example, would probably use eco-friendly colors; if the house belongs to a very sunny and open person, the main colors of walls and curtains would probably be very warm; a house with a minimal style, and no frills, will probably reflect a precise and neat person.

This is why it is important that your house reflects what you are, or at least that it reflects your qualities!

You can leave your mark also in less important rooms, both with simple tricks (the colors of the shower curtain and of bath towels, candles, lights …) and with bigger works (Turkish bath, cromotherapy …).In conclusion, the last tipFeature Articles, but the most important one: do not put a check on your imagination and do not be afraid to experiment!
