Home Decorating Idea

Is decorating a small room a difficult task for you? To help turn that home decorating idea into a reality, start by thinking back to where you have lived during your lifetime. Were there one or two rooms that quickly come to mind and were very special to you? Chances are one of those rooms was a small room that you could snuggle up in and feel comfortable, happy and secure. Let the following home decorating ideas spark your creativity and make decorating that small space a reality.

In a multifunctional living space think about the size of furniture in regards to your living style. Could you use a compact computer work station instead of a full-size desk? What about a love seat instead of a full-size couch? Or, opt for a suitably proportioned couch for relaxing and watching a movie.

Don’t overlook the use of ottomans as a home decorating idea. They can be easily moved around the room to suit the needs of the day. They also provide extra seating for guests.

Another home decorating idea for a small room is to hang your flat-screen TV on the wall, thus, eliminating the need for an entertainment center or armoire. Many newer homes have a corner alcove for the television which solves the television stand dilemma.

Mirrors and windows help to open up a small room. A sliding glass door brings the outside view inside as well as bringing light into the room. Mirrors also generate an illusion of openness

and give much needed light. Make generous use of them especially in small, enclosed bathrooms.

Artificial light is just as important as natural light. Light dimmers allow you to change the atmosphere of a room from dreamy to bright and cheerful. Sconces and recessed ceiling lights are excellent choices for small rooms because they don’t take up floor or table space.

A “hardworking” coffee table is a practical piece of furniture to include as a home decorating idea. You can find them with storage shelves on the bottom or sides or those that have a lid that lifts to store larger items.

These are just a few of the countless home decorating ideas for smaller rooms. By using your creativity and imagination you can turn that home decorating idea into a reality and have a beautifully decorated small room that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

Why use “a touch of red” in your home decorating idea? Red is the warmest of all colors and symbolizes vitality, energy, action and confidence. It makes a bold statement and is, incidentally, the color most chosen by extroverts. This article gives practical tips on using “a touch of red” in your home interior as well as suggestions for using “a touch of red” in various decorating styles.

In feng shui decorating, red is associated with power, love, inspiration and pleasure. Accent colors, such as red, which are more dramatic, are used in moderation, such as a single piece of art work or furniture. The reason is: the more intense the color, the less of it is needed for it to be effective. Thus, use lighter colors for larger areas with accents in more vibrant, dramatic colors. What an interesting home decorating idea!

A recent home decorating idea in our home became a reality by using “the touch of red” concept. Window coverings were installed on a series of three windows in the dining area. The coverings consisted of four vertical drapery panels made out of wool tapestry-looking fabric. The background of the fabric is medium tan with subtle red, green and blue flowers. The panels are outlined in a navy/small beige polka-dot fabric. A 6-inch cornice board covered with the same navy fabric completes the look. This window treatment may sound quite “busy” but is very pleasing to the eye.

To complete the home decorating idea of a “touch of red” look in the dining area and because the wool fabric is somewhat bulky, red tassel tie backs were added to the panels. In addition to the tassel tie backs, red was incorporated in the large picture on the dining room wall, in the table centerpiece and in a red chair cover. Another decorating project completed!

How can you use red décor and red accents in your home decorating ideas? Here are a few suggestions:

*Rustic Decorating Style – Red, green and black plaid work very well as accents.

*Modern Decorating Style – Basic and cool colors with a splash of bright red.

*Oriental Decorating Style – Think of using those luscious silk prints.

*Shabby Chic Decorating Style – Use red as an accent to contrast with the white shabby chic.

*Art Deco Decorating Style – Red is a vibrant and energetic color for this style.

*French Country Decorating Style – Use red to build on the rooster collections of this style.

*Cottage Decorating Style – Red is a great accent in cotton fabrics for cottage decorating.

*Mediterranean Decorating Style – Make use of red accessorized with blue and gold.

By being creative and using your imagination, you will have fun decorating with “a touch of red.” Make your home the envy of the neighborhood!
