One of the things we easily overlook when building and maintaining our so-called ‘haven’ is home decoration. We choose a house with a good location, and that’s it; but wouldn’t it be sweeter if you can look forward to a beautiful and inspiring home? One of the concerns of a single-storey house is its limited space; nevertheless, it shouldn’t be a reason! We should plan and arrange it thoughtfully so it will look and feel spacious. There are so many things to consider and to iron out in enhancing your house – just decorating the façade itself is a tough one!  Do not worry, this may be a little difficult, but it’s all fun – just get a little creative to suit your style and there is a vast array of options, establish a garden or an alfresco area for your afternoon tea.
