Your home should always reflect the mood, ambience and decor you create, so that it reflects not only your lifestyle but also you in every sense. What kind of a style you want for your room should be decided by the way you choose to live and not by the latest interior design fashion, that rules.
Deciding on how to utilize your space and how each room should look be it the living area, bedroom, office space or kitchen, is important. For example:
Do you entertain much, or want to hold parties often?
How about a quiet retreat to escape from the din and rustle?
Do the kids play around here?
Can you pursue your hobbies here?
If you have decided how and why you would like the room for, you may decide on a color pattern to suit the functionality of the room. Neutrals and mellow greens for a ‘retreat’ and a bright yellow for your kids play area, or tranquil pale blue for the office area.
Once you have decided on the function and color of the room in consideration, it may lead on to the basis of choosing the right art work for the area.
As for example:
Colorful and bright cartoon pictures for the kids’ area
Soothing pastel floral prints for the quiet retreat, or
Scenic pictures and tranquil landscape for your office area
Choose whichever you want.
Just as paint color, art can make an impact on a room’s character. It not only binds the room together, but also helps create a style truly your own.
Modern yet traditional & classic and contemporary, casual and romantic, fun & entertaining, whatever style you set for your room is totally up to you and your personal taste. This time though you can bring in your own individuality into the room through textured accessories and artwork for a different look.
Suggested art picture styles:
Entertaining & Fun: Both in the print and on the frame pictures should include vibrancy. Pictures of puppies and kittens, or comedian actors like the Laurel & Hardy or Three Stooges can be fun and entertaining.
Modern: for a modern and sophisticated look, try strong black accents in framed ironwork and the tapestries; striking black ‘n’ white photos could also be ideal.
Calm Retreat: Splash in the mood of a cozy, nestled retreat; try out artwork with earthy, neutral colors and horizontal landscapes in different treatments.
Try mixing and matching different styles to make something uniquely your own. You could frame traditional black and white photo prints with modern black iron frames.
If you want to get the maximum effect of your wall pictures as far as adding character and a dimension to the room is concerned, you have to decide where you want to hang them and how?

Need a new painting idea? Want to make your home more saleable? Here are 4 ways you can turn your home into a treat for the eyes. All 4 are interior painting ideas and are low-cost ways to re-decorate your home.
1. How To Liven Up Bathrooms or Kids Rooms With Fun Tropical Designs – One of my painting customers was always good at this. She loved to wallpaper and did neat designs in bathrooms. Things like using wavy stripes on the upper half wall. And dots on the bottom half with a “fun” type of border in the middle separating the two.
She made it look like the beach scene. They also had a summer home at the lake and you got the “feel” of it all at their main home like in their downstairs main bathroom off from their kitchen. It was all done in light, tropical, pastel type colors.
2. Kitchen Painting Ideas – How to liven up kitchens, even bathrooms and bedrooms with painted stripes. I painted stripes in an upstairs hallway bathroom for another customer. They also chose a fun type of beach design. Yes, you guessed it, they too have a beach house. It’s a condo at Lake Michigan and this seems to come out in their decorating as well.
Again, their main home also is the one I painted stripes in. The stripes were a light blue and a lime color. We used a carpenter’s level to make the lines straight and vertically level. And we used a special blue painter’s tape that won’t “bleed” and is great for painting nice sharp-looking stripes.
When it was finished his wife bought a shower curtain, some porcelain containers for the sink area and a wastebasket. They all were colors that were like the stripes. The colors and the design in that bathroom make you feel good. They make you feel like you are on vacation at the beach!
3. Bedroom Painting Ideas – here is how to make your bedroom and even game rooms and home theatre room ceilings come alive when the lights are turned down or off. Picture turning out the lights at night and it looks just like someone removed the roof and you are staring up at the night sky.
This is one of the neatest bedroom painting ideas to come along. It feels as if you were sleeping outside on a warm night underneath the stars.
That’s exactly the look you can achieve with this painting idea. It’s called being an illusionist because you are creating the illusion that you are actually looking at the nighttime sky – a night sky filled with stars that actually twinkle! And it doesn’t totally have to look like an illusion. It can be a light show with neon like colors and spaceships and sci-fi characters.
4. Faux painting is another great low-cost way to liven rooms up. By picking up a “glazes brochure” at any paint store (Benjamin Moore has a really good one) you can learn how to do several basic faux designs that can make any dinning room, bathroom, even a bedroom look like a million bucks. My favorite design is called “color washing” – a painting idea that looks fantastic in any home!
As a matter of fact, there are million dollar mansions that have beautiful faux painted walls. By using the instructions given in the Benjamin Moore “Glazes” manual and by practicing on washable vinyl sheets you will become a master faux painter in no time flat.
After you master 4 or 5 basic faux designs you can even attend workshops where you can learn advanced designs like marbling. These workshops can be expensive but worth it once you consider how much per hour you can charge for your work.

Of all the furniture you purchase, the dinning room furniture needs to be paid special attention to. The reason is clear- Dining room is a place that host’s most of the family gatherings for lunch or dinner, and if the furniture selected is not good then even the best food can taste very mediocre. Moreover just like any other choice, the dining furniture is also a reflection of you and your taste. Many factors need to be kept in mind while selecting the right kind of dining furniture.
The most important piece of furniture in a dining room is the dining table. The dinning table is to be selected keeping the dimensions of the dinning room in mind, how big you want the table, and the design you would like to go for. Dining tables are available in a variety of sizes and finishes. You can get all that you want; right from the designs and styles to different price ranges. But it is on you to decide on your priorities and be clear on what will go well with the space your dining room offers.
And to make it a little harder to decide, it’s not only about the space. It is about the being comfortable as well. A dining table comes as a table alone or as a set with chairs. These dining chairs have to be comfortable to sit on as you not only want to enjoy the food but also have nice conversations which turn into beautiful memories. Also make sure the chairs fit well under the table when pushed in after use. You don’t want to face the trouble of finding extra space to fit them too. It is always better to buy dining tables with chairs or else it becomes difficult to match the chairs with the table later on. Also if you often throw dinner parties then having extra chairs will become necessary. In that case you can buy chairs separately or go in with the latest trends of mixing and matching different colors for the same chair style.
A dining table alone is not enough to give a complete look to your dining room. The room also requires extra furniture like servers, buffets and bar tables. One can fit in these accessories only if they have enough space to accommodate all these in one single room. In any case a server table is a must as you need furniture which can take care of the extra plates, glasses and water jugs.
The dining room furniture comes in different varieties but the best one which gives an everlasting look is the classic style. It brings in certain elegance to your room naturally. Also make sure what ever kind of table and chairs you buy, it should go well with your house’s interiors and there is not a big style departure as you move from one room to another. The table has got to be durable to last long and to withstand any amount of spills and rough handling. The chairs to be comfortable and easy to clean for the unavoidable spills.
Hence it is rightly said that choosing the right kind of dining furniture is indeed very crucial for you and your guests.
