If your home is a Cape Cod, but you aren’t necessarily into that style for your decor, you can give it a nod by adding a subtle texture. For example, adding beadboard to an island with a more modern countertop will help you whole home feel more put together. â—‹ Consider the decor throughout your home Take a good look at the items throughout your home. Do you tend to choose more traditional furniture and accessories? Your kitchen style should blend with the rest of your house. â—‹ Get ideas from your happiest memories Think of kitchens where you were really, really happy and try to recall the details of those kitchens.

How to Find Home Decorating Ideas

admin — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 09:41:18 +0000

Occasionally everyone has the urge to change their living areas, even if it is just rearranging the furniture.Â If more is needed finding home decorating ideas can be as simple as just looking around you where ever you may be.Â In a furniture store or department store, see how tables are arranged.Â Notice how accessories are placed.Â In a hotel room, for instance, take note of picture placement, subjects of the pictures and styles of frames.Â Touring an open house, a model home that has been showcased by experts, or even a museum tour will bring on lots of inspiration.Â Carry a notebook around with you and jot down your new discoveries and take pictures if you are able.Â Â

Read home decorating magazines and cut out pictures of vignettes that you can incorporate into your rooms.Â Look for the color combination that appeals to you and see how they can add to or change your existing spaces.Â Designer magazines always feature beautiful houses and can bring out your own creativity for your home.

Online sites are useful for finding great home decorating ideas.Â Many professional decorators offer wonderful tips on their websites.Â There are blog sites written by people who like to share their decorating ideas and you are going to find all sorts of new insights. There are many â€˜Do It Yourself’ television programs that offer hundreds of ideas.Â Watch for something you like, jot these home decorating ideas down in your notebook. There is usually a matching .com address where you can find more information about anything you see on the program.Â They generally offer, as well, information as to where some of the items can be purchased. Include this price information in your notebook.

Visiting the homes of your friends can give you an idea or two.Â If you see changes, start a conversation about them and many more ideas will come from friendly brainstorming about fabric, paint color, window treatments and then you are on your way.Â There is no limit to the range of unique decorating ideas you will find available just by looking around.

Finding new decorating ideas will become second nature to you as you begin to notice little things all around you where ever you go.Â Maybe just the placement of a table by a window, a collection of glass bottles on a table, an arrangement of pictures on someone’s wall. Display your own hobby somewhere in your home.Â There is no end of places to look, it just takes practice.Â Your creative juices will be flowing all the time and your home will take on a whole new look with a minimum of expense.

Home Design Sense – Girl’s Bedroom Ideas

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 21:57:48 +0000

Little girl’s love to spend time in their bedrooms. It’s a place all of their own. A place where they can play out their imaginations and dreams and have fun being whatever they choose. What better way to help your child’s dreams come true then by surrounding them with their favorite things! Decorating your child’s bedroom can be both a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Here are five simple tips to get you started in the right direction.

Listen to Her Ideas

The most important factor is to hear your child’s ideas. Have her sit down and make a list of her favorite things from toys to television programs. Would she like to have a themed bedroom? Or would she like her favorite colors painted on the walls. Of course; your budget is important; but making the room a creative place for your child is more important.

Recycle Items

Make use of what you already have in the room. It is amazing at how you can turn pieces into something new and exciting. If a piece of furniture is old and scratched; consider painting it to give it a new look. You may even want to use her favorite color for the piece. If her dresser has an attached mirror you can remove it and place a new mirror directly to the wall. Knobs and pulls can be changed and here are a variety of designs and styles. Flip posters around and let her draw her own masterpiece. Paint bedroom doors for a new bold look. Purchase a duvet cover for a quick bedding change.

Think Ahead

Children love and idea one day and hate it the next. The fairy or cartoon character may be in vogue today; but will it be popular in a few months or more? Also; as they grow older their thoughts change. Purple is in today; but red may be in tomorrow. Take this in account when decorating. Also, ask yourself if she will still love the garden mural few months from now. Will she love the purple carpet when she is a teen? Explore less permanent options such as wall stick ups, framed art, accent rugs and carefully consider all ideas and plans.

Simple Ideas

You can make a dramatic change by just adding splashes of color and texture. Add accent pillows and throws to bedding for more color and texture. You can hang throws or tapestry from the wall if the walls are empty. Change window treatments and add more colorful or character designs. Throw down accent rugs for quick impact and easy cleaning or replacement.

Have Fun

Spend time with your child and make decorating her room fun and stress free. Explore each other’s creative side by creating artwork, bulletin boards, and other decor crafts together. Throw a bedroom-makeover party for her and her friends. They can each make a decor item for the room.

These are just a few of the many tips and ideas to incorporate when beginning your decorating adventure. You’ll be sure to come up with plenty of your own by project’s end. Make sure and jot them down for next time.
