10 Tips for Creating a Home Paradise in Urban Areas

Posted by: Founterior , February 4, 2014

Today’s society is organized in way that most of all the human beings live in overcrowded urban areas. If you are one of those people you will definitely know how you feel when you come back home and shut the door behind you. It is like escaping from the outer world and entering a sacred place where your human body and divine soul can have a rest and release all the stress. Well, we agree that urban areas provide a lot of entertainment and it is very interesting to live in a dynamic environment. On the other hand, when the time to have a rest comes, we should know how to prepare the interior design of the place where we live in in order to meet our desire for relaxation. And we mean without any disturbing noise coming from outside, even not a single splash of street light sneaking behind the curtains.

A serene color palette.

Living in a calm and serene place is like being in an oasis. This is because the busy city streets overwhelm our eyes with all the vivid colors of different advertisements. That’s why we need pale silver, gray, blue and natural wood nuances when we get back home. Of course, any kind of soft color can create a proper relaxing atmosphere.

The right window coverings.

Usually, we do not spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Furthermore, living areas are a place where privacy is not as much of concern. There you can use cafe curtains. Our advice is to allow a little bit of sunshine by keeping the curtains half-shut. This way you will have your privacy while still letting some sunshine coming from outside… of course, if the weather is sunny. Well, for those of you who prefer complete isolation, you can let the curtains down to the floor.

You know that there are people who can’t sleep when there is light slipping inside.

Soundproofing.
