When decorating a small room, always make sure to use versatile furniture. An example is to make ottomans do double duty as sofa or chair substitutes. An ottoman used in this way can provide extra seating or a table surface in a cramped area. Anything that you can find that can be used for more than one thing can make your room worthy of many purposes.
When you are decorating your children's room, try to look at things from their perspective. Decor in their room should be practical and age-appropriate. If you have young children, get down and look at things at their eye level. This will help you decide how to make the most of the space in their room.
Every room needs a focal point. A focal point adds a highlight to any space and serves as the basis for all other design decisions in the room. Any other features, furnishings and accent pieces in the room should draw attention or enhance the focal point, not compete with it in any way.
Learn how to paint a wall before painting a wall. That may sound like common sense, but if you are not aware of the quality of your paint, how to apply it properly, and how much you need, you could make a mess or lose a lot of money. Try going to a home-improvement store for some pointers on techniques and types of paint.
Make sure that there is ample lighting in every room of your house. This may require you to do some planning as to where you should situate your lights or chandeliers. If you have a big room, you will need to strategically position the lights to filter throughout the whole area.
Be creative with your hanging picture frames. Your photos are a symbol of you, and the frames that they are in should be to. Do not limit yourself to just hanging them in a straight line. These can be placed in different angles for a unique effect. Try using your leftover white space to create interesting effects and change your rooms' mood.
A great interior design tip is to start going hunting for antiques. You don't have to pay a fortune to get some interesting antiques. You can always go to local stores and try to barter with them. Who knows, you might end up with something that will spark many conversations.
Use many levels of lighting. By utilizing lighting in your design you can accomplish multiple looks in one room. An overhead light is typically necessary, but try installing a dimmer switch so you can vary the level and create ambiance in the evening. Install accent lighting to bring focus to art pieces. Task lighting is also important for reading nooks or kitchen prep areas. Multi-level lighting will allow you to create many vibes with one design.
When you are decorating your living room, you will want to create a focal point in the room and arrange furniture from there. Your focal point can be a large window or perhaps a fireplace. If you work to have your furniture compliment this focal point, you will have a room you will be proud of.
Remember that a lot of people will be coming in and out of your living and possibly dining room when you want to add in new furniture. There should be enough room at all times for people to sit and stand around. You do not want to have a traffic jam when you are trying to enjoy work.
Children's bathrooms should be fun spaces that are full of color and design. Consider implementing a favorite television or cartoon character into the design of the space with the use of a shower curtain, towels and removable wall stickers. This is a fun way to customize the space in a way that can easily be changed in the future.
When figuring out what flooring to put in your bedroom, stay away from ceramic tiles, marble and granite. These materials tend to make the floor cold, which is not a pleasant feeling when stepping out of bed in the morning. If you can, try to put down carpet or hardwood floors.
Don't crowd the nightstand! Nightstands often get piled high with reading material, glasses, jewelry, and more. To give yourself more space, get rid of the biggest nightstand space-hog: the lamp. Instead of a table lamp, go with a wall-mounted lamp or sconce. This will free up a lot of space on your nightstand, and a wall-mounted fixture with an adjustable arm will give you better light for reading.
If you are trying to design a room in your home, you can't go wrong with installing bigger windows. Bigger windows obviously bring in more natural light and also have the added benefit of making your room look larger. This strategy is particularly useful in older houses with smaller square windows.
If you love the look of nature and are trying to be greener with your interior design, consider woven wood shades in the bedroom. They are made from renewable sources like bamboo and rattan and offer a very cozy look that easily coordinates with any decorative style and color.
Choose your colors carefully when you're looking at repainting a room. You want to choose colors that go well together and compliment each other. You don't want colors that clash and fight for attention. You want your colors to blend together and feel natural. Don't go with too many bright colors, or you risk overwhelming your senses.
