Many upgrades can make your home more comfortable and restful and allow you to stay safe and independent in your home. For example, sometimes the décor needs a bit of variation to develop a calming ambience in rooms like the bedroom or living area. Blues, greens and muted yellows can impart a sense of serenity to these rooms. You can also use fabrics to establish a restful feeling. Soft, muted carpeting, flowing curtains in light airy colors and plush pillows decorating furniture help accomplish this.
