How to Decorate Your Second Home

FT NEWS

Whether your second home functions as a weekend home or a vacation home, its purpose is to help you relax and escape from the fast-paced urban life; disconnect from the demands of normal working life. It should provide a pleasant and comfortable stay so that you can indulge in your favourite pastimes, have fun and spend quality time with your family and friends. Use these tips to create a perfect space to do all this in the comfort of your home away from home.

1. Go for an open-plan home
Here is an 
open-plan home by Angus Mackenzie Architect, which opens out to the lawn and outdoor views. Such areas facilitate a lot of interaction with family and friends.

2. Create a clutter-free space
A minimum of furniture in this living room by 
S A K Designs ensures that there is ample walking space around the home. Another advantage is that there will be less cleaning up to do since the house might be shut for long periods.

3. Connect with the scenic beauty around you
Make sure the bedrooms and other common areas have large windows, especially if the property opens to picturesque views – hills, beach, forest, river and so on.

4. Experiment with colour
Introduce pops of colour to create a cheerful and energised space that imparts vacation vibes all day.

5. Go for bold patterns
If you are looking for budget-friendly ways to design your home, then introduce bold patterns because it is an inexpensive way to enhance the decor of your second home.

6. Install resilient flooring
Design Office has used hard-wearing Kota stone for the flooring because it is easy to maintain.

7. Use durable furnishing materials
The yellow-hued sofa and 
accent wall by Crown Paints adds a sunny vibe to the space. Always opt for durable furnishing materials that have high resistance to wear and tear.

8. Introduce built-in storage
The biggest advantage of built-in storage is that you can pack and store all your belongings properly behind closed doors while you are away. Make it a point to 
control dampness within your wardrobes and storage cabinets.
