3. Accent pieces.
Every home should have an accent piece. It can be an old vase passed down to you by your mother or a painting that you already have, whatever it is make sure that it will stand out. To achieve a more coordinated look, I suggest that you match your accent wall with the accent piece that you already have at home. This way, the accent wall and the accent piece will stand out together from the white walls.

4. Invest on a good quality furniture.
One way of making our homes feel cozy and homey is by giving ourselves a treat by spending on good quality, long lasting and most importantly comfortable furniture. As for me, it is very important that I sleep well at night on a comfortable bed. Long satisfying rests are always important and the only way to achieve that is when you have comfortable furniture to lay down on.

5. Living room MUST be comfortable.
We already talked about investing on a good quality furniture, if you don't have it yet you should go get yourselves a comfortable sofa. Aside from the fact that this is where you accommodate your guests, it is also the place where you'll probably stay during your lazy days to watch the tv or to use your laptop. You can't stay forever in your room. Living room is the part of the house that is often taken for granted, vamp up the living room by putting lots of throw pillows and a pile of magazines the visitors can always grab.
