While owning your own home can feel like living happily ever after, there are ways to make things even more magical. A few alterations here and there can give a greater sense of wonder to your day-to-day life and bring greater satisfaction with your home. Here are just a few ways that anyone can add some magic to their home.
Plant a Magic Garden
Hanging plants are the perfect accent to any room, particularly on your patio where they can get the most light. Hanging morning glories or similar vine-bound flowers can add the enchanting illusion of a flower canopy. Suspend them from hangars or suction the plants to the window near the kitchen sink. Use smaller plants or succulents to add a splash of color and life to rooms with less sunlight.
Soften Your Color Scheme
Pastels are a great way to give your home a daydream feel. Purple is the color of royalty, and vibrant greens spark creativity. You can add these accent colors with throw pillows, curtains, and stick-on wall murals. If you’re feeling particularly creative, you can even create the illusion of bushes and trees in your children’s playroom by sponging varying shades of green onto the wall. Rosy pinks with yellow accents can also feel very fairy-tale when added to your kitchen décor.
Adjust Your Outlook
You don’t have to live in a castle or cathedral to have a stained glass window. A glazier can be consulted to find affordable stained-glass windows for your kitchen, front door windows, or even find ways to treat your current windows to create a stained-glass effect. While traditional stained glass is very expensive and hard to come by, newer methods of staining glass are much more affordable and can be implemented in any room.
Open the Door to a Fairy Tale World
Adding magic to your everyday life often comes down to the smaller details, and that can include your doorknobs. Curled handles or colored-glass knobs can create a magical effect, leaving you smiling whenever you open a door in your home. Opt for more magical metals like brushed brass or copper to give a golden color to your home. New doorknobs like these can be easily purchased online and installed yourself, making them a generally affordable option for adding extra flair to your doors.
A little work and creativity can work wonders on your home décor if you’re willing to take the time. Those who long for a sense of magic and fairy-tale ending to their home can find all sorts of options. Consider these as a starting point to inspire your happily-ever-after home.
