How to create a good ambience in your home?

Having a good ambience is all about having a good atmosphere in your home.  Where you feel relaxed and your mood is elevated because of the decor and design of the home.  It is all about how is your experience of the place.  And experience is about the sensory experience i.e. it includes five senses of sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound.  When a place provides a good sensory experience, it is said to have a nice ambience.

So the question is what creates a good ambience and what are the key elements when it comes to creating a good ambience?  So here are the four key elements that go in creating a good ambience.

Light for ambience

The first and foremost important element of ambience is light.  There are different types of lighting.  The three most important ones are:

1.  Ambient lighting: It brightens up the whole room. This could also be pendant lighting and it is your general source of lighting that adds a layer of brightness to the space.

2.  Task lighting: It is pretty obvious from its name that it is used for a specific task like reading, cooking etc. So it can be on your desk, in the kitchen, or on the bedside.

3.  Accent: Accent lighting is something that is more decorative.  IT lights up a specific part of your house, it can be a work or art or sconces in the kitchen.

The key when it comes to these three different lights is to try to use all of them to create a layered look within the room.  You can have all three types of lights and this is how you can have a cozy ambience in the room.

Colours

You can use colour to create the good ambience in your home.  Starting from the colour of the walls to choosing the colour of your furniture i.e. your sofa, your dining table with chairs, and your bed, you can choose colour that reflect your taste and soothe your mood and can harmonize various colours with each other.  You add layers of more colour with bed sheets, pillow covers, rugs, and artefacts on the walls.  This way you can just accentuate the look and feel of the place.

Fragrance

Just as the colour adds to the overall ambience, the fragrance can also be a factor that can add to it.  You can use oil diffusers for fragrance and choose the fragrance that you like.  Another good way to add fragrance is incense stick and aromatic candles that create a totally different ambience.

Texture

Another sensory perception is touch.   So how your furnishings feel is dependent on their texture.   Cotton feels different than the velvet and it is up to you what you want in terms of texture.

So you can easily set the ambience of your home and make it feel good, so you like to live your life in those surroundings.
