Creating a welcoming feel is all about warmth and added those little added extras.

Warmth does not only apply to the temperature in your home it also applies to decoration. If your home is too sparsly decorated it may not feel welcoming even if you have followed all of th other advice here. For decoration tips take a look at out decoration tips section with sample rooms.

Those added extras that really bring warmth to a house and make it a home are fresh flowers and tastefull ornaments. Keeping your home stocked with fresh flowers is often less expensive than people think. Many bunches of flowers will last for two weeks if fed and watered properly and you can pick these up relatively cheaply. Take a look at my fresh flowers and ornaments pages.
