Give your home a touch of Europe
Making good design accessible to everyone, wherever they live, is a fundamental belief that I follow in my work at Creo, says ‘Parushni Aggarwal, Creative Director, Studio Creo.
Here are her easy ideas on how to give your home a European touch.
Try to incorporate open kitchens. The kitchen is the place where the family gets together. In this fast paced world, accessibility to the kitchen gives the family more time together, specially the working women.
Have bathtubs in the centre of the bathroom. This will enable an open and expansive sense of space as you spend some much-needed time relaxing and unwinding from life and all your troubles.
Use soft colors with pastel shades. Colors play a pivotal role in the design and style of a home. Use soft colors with pastel shades to provide a light and calming space, which can also be unique and inspiring.  
Use minimalistic furniture. The furniture needs to be straight lined as this modern touch wil expand your space. Bulky furniture items make a space look congested and small. Try to invest in furniture pieces that can play multiple roles.
Use mirrors in the house.  Mirrors make space look large, besides enhancing the lighting at night. They give an open and multi dimensional feel to the entire space.
Mood lighting can transform any space. Be it a large living room or a corner of your study, mood and indirect lighting can help blend all aspects and give warmth to your room.
Choose right floor tiles. Light shades make the place look larger, roomier. This is an easy way to enhance the lighting effects.
Use floral accessories. Think European and you always get transported to the Victorian era. Wild or delicate flowers in soft pastels adorning the space in chinaware, cushions and bedspreads, is a beautiful way to give your home the personal European touch.
