Three ways to create the wow factor everyone wants for their home.

1. Use art pieces

Art is fantastic! It brings out lots of emotions and can be used in different ways to make a room look classy. 

For example, you could use the colors in a painting of your choice to pick the furniture for a room. 

Choose a color from the art palette and use it on a sofa, the carpet, or throw pillows. The blend will make your room look fabulous.

Remember, art does not only mean paintings. You could also find exciting sculptures or pottery items and display them at strategic places in your home. 

Choose pieces that draw the eye and have a fascinating story to tell.

You could also create a focal wall of family portraits or pictures of memorable days in your life. These will catch the eye and act as conversation pieces when you have guests over. 

They will also make your home feel cozy and special, reminding you of great people or events in your life.

2. Bring in nature

Nature creates a warm feeling in a home and is an excellent way to bring in the wow factor. 

There are so many ways to incorporate nature into your home. Use plants, water fixtures, and even some animal displays. 

Nature gives back, so using it to bring a wow factor into your home is an excellent idea. Plants will help purify the air in your home and give it a relaxing feel. 

Animals such as parrots will warm your heart, and fish in an aquarium are known to reduce depression. 

You may choose to use only green ones or use multi-colored flowers. Mix them up too; use climbers, large plants, and small ones, fleshy ones, and succulents, to create texture. 

You could also put reptiles such as a chameleon in a display case or insects, like butterflies in an enclosure. 

Try incorporating all these in a sunroom for a relaxing spot to sit at with your guests in any weather.

3. Use  Light

You can manipulate light in your home to create the wow factor.

Start by choosing attractive light fixtures such as chandeliers or floor lamps that attract the eye. 

Let the light flow into the rooms in the home in a way that brings focus to interesting spots in your home. 

For example, let the light from a window or skylight shine onto an indoor garden or art wall. 

Use light to open up rooms and give them an airy feel. Where too much light is a problem, you can soften it up with some architectural window tinting or attractive blinds. 

You could also use mirrors to make a room seem bigger or to bounce light off an art or focus wall. 

If the mirrors are artsy, that will make it even better. A mirror can take up a whole wall if it reflects a breathtaking part of the home, such as an accent wall.
