Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...
We want our homes and offices to be decorated special. We take up interior projects to liven up our indoors. When doing up interiors of a home, Accent walls can be a good choice to add that extra zing to the spaces.
An accent wall can be the secret sauce to a beautifully
designed room. But can any wall be turned into an accent wall? What exactly
does an accent wall mean? Read on to know more about this exciting design
concept.
What is an accent
wall?
The accent wall is the one main wall of the room, which is decorated in a specific way. Its objective is to highlight the design persona of the room. Such walls bring life to a room and add to its charm. When you walk into a room, the one wall that catches your attention is the one you can turn into an accent wall. That's a thumb rule, of course, as you cannot turn any random wall into an accent wall. That wall is the focal point of your room and can add to the elegant appeal of the room.
Here are some tips for designing your accent walls -
Paper them up
Wallpapers are in vogue these days and are great for accent walls. They are easy to put up, quick on the installation and light on the wallet. They are also low maintenance and easy to clean. The markets are flooded with plenty of design options to choose from. Also, they are not permanent fixtures on the walls.
Splash some paint
If you are looking for something permanent or long term, you
can go for a coat of paint on the walls. However, for accent walls, hues which
are bold are always favourable. Metallic or strip finishes with patterns can
also be done for the special wall.
Light it up
A great wall decor needs an interesting light fixture to
complement it. Spotlights or picture lights can do the trick. While picking up
the lights, make sure to decide whether to go for warm or soft colours for the
lighting.
Colour coordination
Contrast the colours well with the other walls of the room. When going for a paint colour for walls, always pick the colour for the accent wall at the end. The other walls can be in any colour, preferably lighter in shades like grey, beige or white colour. In this way, an accent wall in bright and bold colours will contrast wonderfully with neutral coloured walls.
Art and pictures
Add something extra than wallpaper or paint to your accent
wall. Pictures and Art pieces can be a great way to liven up the wall. You can
play around with their designs and placements. Also, you can add shelves to add
showpieces or frames on the wall. You can also bring out your creative self and
showcase a photo gallery on your accent wall.
Accent walls can be an aesthetic architectural statement for
your indoor spaces. They can also make a room appear bigger than its size
because of the play of colours and design. If done well, they will enhance the
ambience of your rooms.
