One of the best ways to accomplish this is by doing home decorating projects.  You may well think as soon as you hear the phrase "home decorating projects" that you are going to have to spend masses of cash, use up all your spare time, and worse, run the risk of not being happy with the project when it is finished. This need not be the case, as there are many home decorating projects that can be done for little money, and can also easily be completed within just a few hours - and if this is the case, you haven't really lost all that much if you are unhappy with the end result.  So where do you start? Depending on the time of year and where you live, you can find many great accessories for your home from yard or car boot sales. Although this may sound a little odd, to be talking about yard or car boot sales in the same article as home decorating projects, it really is a great way to buy items that you can use to personalize your space on a tight budget.  If for example, you are trying to make the kitchen more attractive and inviting, you can almost always find items such as bright ceramic pieces, tablecloths, framed art, pitchers, etc. at a yard or boot sale. Place these carefully throughout your kitchen and you will have gone a long way towards personalising the room, and yet not spent very much money at all on this home decorating project.  Staying with the yard and boot sales, you can find many items that will set the style of your home decorating for example; clocks, photo frames, movie posters, ornaments, soft furnishings plus much more. If you keep your eyes open you can find really cool items that can be used in the decorating of your home.  One very popular style in home decorating is Retro. A Retro kitchen can be very easy to accomplish, all you need are a few vintage items, which can be found fairly easily and for great prices, and maybe some bright paint or rugs for the floor, and you are ready to go.  If you are working on your kitchen, it can be difficult to pull off some home decorating projects if you have a rather small kitchen space to work with, and in this instance, you may be forced to accomplish what you are looking for by painting the walls with a bright, spacious color, and then adding some accessories throughout the room. Although painting kitchen walls can be very time consuming, as you have to mask off and be extra careful around all the cabinets and sockets, it can be done - it may just take a little bit of patience and some hard work. If you are feeling really brave and want a much larger change, you may even want to try your home decorating skills on the cabinets as well, repainting or refinishing them as this will make a major difference in the room. You can buy treatments to put onto existing wood or laminate cabinets so that they can take paint or many of the other special finishes you can buy for kitchen cabinets.  Another area which can make a difference to your interior, is the window treatments. These can also add a lot of character in your home decorating theme, so put some thought into this area, and look for clearance items, or have a go at making your own for that truly unique touch.  The appliances in your kitchen are going to be the hardest thing to change, as other than replacing totally, you can only really repaint them, or cover them up. So when you are thinking about your home decorating, try not to spend too much time on this aspect of your kitchen, as there really is not too much you can achieve with existing appliances.  It is surprising how much change can be effected by just adding some new paint to the walls, and it can give your kitchen a whole new identity.

Maybe it's the desire to escape the rush and demands of a hectic lifestyle.</b> It could be the need to return to a time when life was simpler, perhaps even happier. The necessities of rural life are what influence today's country style home decor.  Country home decorating can be defined as a style featuring rustic simplicity and tradition. Home decorating country style is viewed as welcoming, unpretentious, friendly and practical. Country style home decor is flexible enough to include timeworn antiques, reproductions, crafts and handmade products all together. Country furniture is usually made by craftsmen and has a sturdy, rugged appearance. Country style furniture seldom uses delicate designs. Country home decor may feature unfinished beams, floors with natural finish, rough bricks and unpainted or undulating plaster walls.  Here are recommendations for specific rooms when country home decorating:  Country Kitchen Décor - use open shelves, buffets, plate racks and cupboards for storage. Country kitchen storage is usually crammed with stoneware pots, plain glazed earthenware and glass jars. Country kitchen pots should be made of copper, steel or cast iron -- country cookware tends to be large and plain. Country kitchen cabinets that are made of aged surfaces, natural materials, rough finishes and round knobs will keep the country style. Open shelving in the country kitchen is perfect to display plates and dinnerware collections. Kitchen cabinets or kitchen furniture made of pine or perhaps even painted can be a beautiful key element in the country kitchen.  Country Kitchen Countertops and Floors - country kitchens countertops have ceramic tiles or even hand painted tiles, slate or marble. If you want to use laminate materials, go for plain colors for coverings. Terracotta tiles, brick, stone and wood are very popular in country kitchen floors. If you decide to add some antiques to your country kitchen, they don't have to be perfect -- even chips and scratches will add to the charm and un-restored look of the antique. Adding a bit of wear and tear to maintain the country flavor is fun and it works!  Country Dining Rooms - dining rooms are once again popular. Many years ago, meals were eaten in large country home kitchens. Today, the kitchen continues to be the hub of the home and the place where you can have less formal meals. However, when entertaining guests, a dining room is the place to be. Country style dining rooms can have a large rectangular table made of pine, oak, walnut or mahogany with wooden chairs or old benches that are similar in style and material. A corner cupboard, plate racks, dresser or sideboard will provide perfect storage and serving area for the dining room as long as they match the style and the materials of the table and chairs.  Country Bathrooms - the characteristics and styles of country bathrooms take us back to our simple life and roots. A bathroom with neutral tones or soft colored walls, antique looking lighting and wooden antiques or antique reproduction cabinets and vanity will give the country bathroom a calm and elegant atmosphere. Clawfoot tubs, country style antique brass faucets and old-fashioned country home decorating cabinets will give your bathroom the kind of atmosphere that invites you to spend time there.  A country bathroom should have wood, ceramic tile, linoleum, vinyl or natural cork floors. To have carpet in the country bathroom is not appropriate. Wood and brass accessories are perfect materials to use in a country style home decor bathroom. Plain white towels are recommended instead of patterned or bright modern patterns. Use wicker or wire baskets to keep your sponges, loofas and shampoos handy near the tub or shower.  Country Home Furnishings - decorative items associated with country style home decor include adirondack chairs, Windsor chairs, fresh or dry wild flowers, vintage baskets, quilts, yellowware bowls, blue and white ceramics, wicker or wire baskets, floral tapestries, linens and paintings, wool blankets, duck decoys and teddy bears. Floral patterns and candleholders also remind us of the country-style life.  The colors used in country home decorating are neutral tones ranging from white to bone, earth tones, red barn, blues and green which are the most appropriate colors for country style. Stenciling and wallpaper are frequently used in country home decorating. Stenciling originally was cheaper than wallpaper. Stenciling can be used around windows, in areas where the walls meet the ceiling or on the floors. Oftentimes, stenciling is even used on furniture. Done correctly, stenciling adds a great deal of charm to a country home decor.  While country life in the old days was often very difficult, it's now possible to recreate the pleasures and peace of a nearness to nature without having to endure the adversity and hardship of everyday rural life. In general, the knowledge and abilities needed to create a country style home are achievable by nearly anyone. Read all you can. Inspiration will come if you understand the basics for creating a country style home decor that provides the look and feel of the way life used to be.

Top 10 Holiday Home Decorating Mistakes

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJsOy08Vix8XcIX4qYD1zmMYDKVv8RjEny-88QM7oDZXEG6n7muchLgcFLcmpHlKrsTkxgga7W1_7Ehyphenhyphen1s5-JMpjFH3RwcK5OehOsG3EMZaUT3pkEM6RKOGJTxb91d3FwLQFpSeCajpvA/s1600/xmas-vaca.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJsOy08Vix8XcIX4qYD1zmMYDKVv8RjEny-88QM7oDZXEG6n7muchLgcFLcmpHlKrsTkxgga7W1_7Ehyphenhyphen1s5-JMpjFH3RwcK5OehOsG3EMZaUT3pkEM6RKOGJTxb91d3FwLQFpSeCajpvA/s320/xmas-vaca.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b>Holiday home decorating is a great way for people to show their holiday spirit.</b> However it is important to keep some general principals in mind when selecting your seasonal home decor. The list that follows is a general guide on what not to do when selecting your holiday home decorations.  Don't Over Do It:  Pick a color scheme and stick to it. Many people make the mistake of being too "loud" with their decorating colors and end up with a chaotic mess instead of a calming holiday effect. Of course, when there are children involved, there are more knick-knacks and decorations that won't exactly fit in, but that's the fun of youth. However, for adults who want to pull a seasonal room together, carefully think what holiday home decorating you really need and if those items gel harmoniously.  Keep Decorations Balanced in the Home:  Again, when placing seasonal decorations such as the tree, wreaths, centerpieces, and religious icons around the interior and exterior of your home, keep a tasteful balance. Many light up the night sky with far too many lights around windows, around porches, and sometimes on the roof. Make a more prudent choice and go with a more minimalist approach. Plan out where fairy lights and the tree will go in relation to the picture window neighbors can see through. Keep a close eye on the distance put between items on mantles and table. You never want to create a more chaotic look which makes any room feel less comfortable to occupy. That's not what you want for those who visit your home.  Keep Inflatable Ornaments Out of Your Yard:  If there are children in the home who fall in love with a Frosty the Snowman snow globe the size of your home, perhaps it's nice to appease them. However, make sure that the ornament is securely attached to the ground due to high winter winds or an unexpected storm.  If you do not have children, the wise choice to maintain a sophisticated look is to avoid these type ornaments like the plague. It draws away completely from any tasteful decorating you may have hung. No one is looking at the handmade wreath you spent hours putting together. Neighbors see only the Santa and reindeer that are perpetually inflated by a loud generator will make all your creativity moot.  Choose Lights and Related Illuminates Carefully:  Not only does this apply to the lights on your tree matching those on the porch outside, this includes such items as a string of icicles across your roof or around a column. These icicles could be light up, or reflect that the light. It's not a bad idea to have a tree outdoors, again have a theme going with the lights you use.  Never Half-Finish a Job:  Even though life can be fast-paced, especially those with children, have a million different events to prepare for as well as attend. When you choose to decorate, perhaps have grandparent look after children, or if business keeps you away, schedule one, free day to devote to decorating. This can make sure everything is done in-whole, and all the stress of getting it done is behind you.  Don't Hide Your Christmas Tree:  Many make the Christmas tree the focal point of all interior decorations. Don't hide this prized-decorating item in a corner, but in front of a window which adds cheer to those who drive by.  Avoid Using Candles:  There are many, tasteful, natural-looking alternatives sold in decorating stores to prevent one from using candles at all. When decorating a home, many candles were lit and placed on windowsills. This proved to create many house fires due to the heat igniting holiday cloth window treatments.  Carefully Choose the Wreath for Your Front Door:  When looking at the exterior of the home, many eyes are drawn first to the wreath adorning your front door. There are a plethora of fun, adventurous, or traditional looks to meet any personality. However, be mindful of how this wreath corresponds with the other decorations.  Pick the Right Time to Put Up or Take Down Decorations:  It seems that Christmas decorations go up earlier and earlier every year. Where many didn't break out the tinsel until the first week of December, however, during current years, many Christmas trees go up before Thanksgiving.  Likewise, there are a few who don't seem to want to let go of Christmas, let those lights keep blinking well into January. Think before you put up decorations and remove those decorations no later than New Year's Day. This marks the time of a new year, and another time to put the last holidays behind us.  Avoid Mixing Religious Icons:  The basic problem here is that the mixing of religious icons can be seen as disrespectful to some of varying faiths who visit your home. It can also project the idea that you have a scant knowledge of religious traditions and prove embarrassment.

The idea is to turn your room into a royal court, you'll want your lamp to enhance the rest of your room's decor, yet not distract from the room's decorating scheme. No matter the size of your room, the lamp shade drum comes in all different sizes and you'll love them for what they are. Another tip when choosing a lamp, if the base is decorative the shade should be simple and plain, the same is true if the shade is decorative then the base should be plain.  These lamps will give you a temporary madness, then you'll have to make a decision which will delight you, for they are available in many colors, plus they are made of silk by hand, or metal with a sewn in lining, and they are also available in brass.

That stained brown couch, battered chair, and tattered orange shag rugs from college days have got to go!  But how do you get started on a decorating project for the home that will improve your interior environment as well as express your personality? The answers for home decorating inspiration can come from many sources. The key to a successful home redecorating is to have the patience and persistence to keep looking through these sources until the idea styles and colors are found.  Some people have a natural knack for home decorating. They love browsing through decorating magazines. They make weekly dates to watch their favorite decorating shows on cable TV. They even enjoy going to decorator show houses to see the latest styles, from wallpaper and upholstery fabric to ingenious window treatments and beautiful floral rugs. The point is that any and all of these, and more, can inspire a home decorating project.  One of the less expensive places to start looking for inspiration is with interior decorating magazines. Don't think you have to buy magazines new off the rack. These days many cities and towns have secondhand bookstores where people trade in their books and magazines. These used bookstores are great places to find decorating magazines at significantly discounted prices. Remember, the best home decorating styles have a classic air about them, so looking at outdated magazines can be just the ticket for choosing a room decor plan.  Secondhand bookstores and public libraries are also excellent sources for books on interior decorating. If you feel you have a good handle on the basic concepts of good interior decorating, such as balance and harmony, you can focus in some of the more specialized techniques of decorating. These might include how to paint faux finishes, sew beautiful draperies or create your own reversible braided rugs. Whatever inspires you to begin a project is a good place to start.  In addition to reading and looking at pictures for decorating ideas, several visual encounters can inspire decor plans. These include visiting model homes or designer show houses, looking at photographs of interior designs and watch decorating or home makeover shows on TV. It can be a little harder to retain the information from these sources, so be sure to take notes from on-site visits and record TV shows for frequent review.  Finally, online browsing is another way to gather home decorating inspiration. You can search for various topics, visit specific interior decorating web sites, and even take an "online tour" of model homes and show houses. For instance, several paint manufacturers and home improvement stores now offer programs in which you can try out different color schemes for various rooms. Many of these sites offer email newsletters and other helpful notifications to keep on top of decorating trends.  No matter what inspires your home decorating quest, don't forget to be a wise shopper when it comes time to start the project. Consult several sources for your home decorating materials before you purchase anything. Remember, you want to assemble the kind of comfortable, appealing home environment that you can live with for a long time - until you're ready to redecorate!  Senior staff writer Sarah really enjoys writing about finding inspiration when decorating. And she says that if you are ready for your room to shine then lay natural flokati rugs or solid color rugs on your floor. </div>

All it takes is simple knowledge of home improvements and a classic style that can please every eye. Doing so, you can save a lot of money which otherwise would go into the pockets of a professional decorator. When it is possible to be your own decorator, and then why not spend that money on your home instead of a decorator? Plus, you get everything of your own choice, which is an add-on for your home project.</div><br />Being a decorator requires some pre-planning and homework before you move on even a single step; and the very first step that would lead you to be a home decorator is a proper plan. As colors play the most essential role in a home decor, you need to choose a color scheme of your choice. Professional home decorators take several colors schemes and then make their selection. You too will have to do the same for working like a professional home decorator. These color schemes play a major role in enhancing the decor style and they show obvious variations even with the slightest change. Therefore, one needs to be precise when selecting a color scheme.<br /><br />You can also use home improvement software for perfecting everything - the colors, the designs, the models and the entire décor theme. Professional home decorators always use home improvement software for such purposes. Besides giving an exact idea about the entire project, home improvement software also extends the visions of the designers as they can see their ideas on the computer screen. Visual presentation makes it a lot easier for home decorators to either plan a home décor or change an existing plan after watching it's visual. You should also get help from the software. It is easy to use and it decorates your room in just a few seconds right on your screen.<br /><br />The size of your home is also counted in a home decor. You need to arrange things - buy or trash - with respect to the size of your room. If you have a very small home, you should go for a simple and descent home décor - without stuffing it with extra decoration pieces and furniture. However, a big-sized home is always a blessing for home decorators. You can arrange everything accordingly and you will still be able to save some of the space if you are too good at home decoration.<br /><br />A professional home decorator takes care of all the aspects including all the rooms, interiors, walkways, exterior, doors and even the windows and curtains. You too will have to take everything together for a descent home decor. Use the color themes in such a way that it gets blended with each of the room present in your home. Moreover, you also need to give priority to the exterior of your home. Following all these steps along with reading professional home improvement magazines, you can efficiently carry on your home decoration project, just like professional home decorators.

Each client is as different as their home decor, so I get to see, first hand, what works and what doesn't. Trendy, transitional or just tired and tattered, my clients share their flooring needs with me and we choose the type, style and color that will best suit their decor needs. As I traverse from one home to another, I have noted a phenomenon of science fiction proportions. Upon entry into each home, I seem to be time-warped to another decade. Another plane in the time-space continuum. I enter one home to find that I should have worn my platform shoes, because I am suddenly stuck in the seventies and it's time to boogie. Upon entry to another home and I feel I need a pair of six-shooters strapped to my hips. Visit another home and I feel as though I should have grown a mullet to fit in with this eighties household. Another, and it's back to the future. Of course, this is normal because most people who have called for me want to update their home decor. My experience tells me that most homeowners update their decor to current trends, and then get stuck there for ten to twenty years or more. Then there are those homes that always seem to look stylish and exquisite no matter what the current trend is. These are homes that have people who follow basic and timeless home decor techniques that never go out of style. Trendy is fun for a few years, but timeless decor can last a lifetime. Let us see if we can pin down some of those techniques that will make a lasting impression in interior design and decor.</div><br />The first element I will discuss is paint color choices. As an example; I have noticed that many people are painting all the walls in a room or rooms a red color. There's nothing wrong with red, but the colors most people are choosing are trendy colors of red. These colors will most likely be unfashionable in a few short years. I understand the look they are trying to achieve, but the color choice is simply not one that will stand the test of time. Bright or pastel colors are almost always a trend. Do you remember the salmon pink from the sixties and seventies Or how about the peach and mint green colors of the eighties southwestern rage. If you want to be trendy with red, I suggest using the same color group, but let's tone that down to a color that is somewhere around a muted hue of cinnamon or burgundy color. Now we have a color that doesn't jump out at you as you enter the room because it is a more subtle shade that gives warmth and presence to the walls without overwhelming the entire room. Color choice is a very personal element, but if you want to use bright yellow in your home decor, save it for accent items that you can change out easily when you tire of them or when they are no longer in style (nobody wants to enter a room where they feel like they have just penetrated the center of the sun). Use tones or hues of color that accomplish your goal without going "over the top". If you love the color purple, you can use it. Just use a very subtle hue that blends into the background.<br /><br />The next element would be window coverings. We have already discussed color so I won't go into it here. What we do need to consider is how popular your window treatment is now, and how it will look in three to five years. The generation preceding the present thought that mini-blinds were the best window treatment. Now we see that they have mostly fallen out of favor, with the exception of using them as if they were shades set behind another type of window covering such as draperies, or with valances and trimmed with other fabric coverings. Most roman style shades will stand the test of time. I see a lot of plantation shutters being used, and they are much better for long-term use (depending on the look you are shooting for in your decor). Fabrics (or draperies) are another home decor element that can be trendy or timeless, depending on the textures and patterns in fabric coverings. If you stick with what has always worked throughout the decades, you can be trendy and still expect long term usage. Stick with subtle fabric patterns. The use of a trendy patterns like brightly colored circles (polka-dots) may look good this year, but what about next year. You can use any pattern your heart desires as long as it is subdued and does not scream out "look at me"! Also, watch out for trendy fabrics such as those with a metallic sheen because texture is also a very important factor in home decor. For Example: Velvet is timeless, as is lace.<br /><br />I suppose we should say a word or two on Texture. I am happy to see many people using stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops in their kitchens. These are textures that have a lasting effect on home decor. Although I'm afraid that most people don't realize the extra upkeep on granite or any real stone. These materials must be sealed well and periodically re-sealed to protect them. Real stone and some through body porcelain tiles are porous and require a sealer to protect them from spills that could leach into these textures. Glass is also a timeless texture for home decor. Brass and chrome seem to fade in and out of favor, but overall is generally safe. Watch out for exotic textures that are more on the trendy side.<br /><br />As for flooring, the biggest mistakes people make are in the area of color and pattern. If people walk into your home and notice your flooring before they pay attention to your decor, you have probably made a bad color choice. You don't have to choose safe earth tones for flooring, but you do need to make certain that your color selection blends into the background and not the forefront of your interior design. There are also different textures in flooring. Choose a texture that will last. During the time period when southwestern decor was all the rage, many people chose patterned Berber carpet for their floors. When trends changed, many people were having a hard time decorating around a floor that they no longer cared for because it was not stylish. Plush carpets are always safer for home decor and do not tend to go in and out of style. Hard-surface floorings should always have a natural look. Because hard-surface lasts a long time and is a greater investment, be careful about color and composition. You may have to live with a bad floor choice for many years. One terrific tool for flooring is the Area Rug. They are extremely versatile and if you stay to classic patterns, they will serve you for a long time. I always suggest the use of wool area rugs for their durability, stain resistance, and most oriental or middle eastern patterns always make a good appearance, without dependence on current styles and trends. Area rugs can be used to define space and for color accent or background color utilizing larger rugs. They are a good, timeless tool for home decor.<br /><br />I am not saying that you can't be trendy or up to date with your interior design. I am not saying you have to get stuck with traditional design. Simply use more subtle colors, textures and patterns to establish the background for your decor, and use accent pieces and furnishings that can be easily and economically swapped out when they are no longer "the rage". If you stick with techniques that have always worked in the past, you preserve your home decor for the future. It can be fun For Me to zip around in time and space, but it's no fun for you as a homeowner or tenant, if your decor is stuck in the past. Don't let your home decor get trapped in a time warp.

Country Home Decorating

I hope you find it both interesting and helpful.</b></div><br />When choosing a theme or style for decorating your home, there are many to pick from. One of the most popular decorating themes today is country home decorating. Perhaps it is the most popular because it provides an inviting atmosphere and overall friendly feeling. Country home decorating, because of its cosy environment, is enjoyed by the people who live there as well as all those who visit.<br /><br />As with any home decorating project, a homeowner must first decide where they want to use country home decorating. Some people choose to use this theme throughout their entire home while other decide to use country home decorating focusing on just one or two rooms, for example the kitchen and the living room. Because this style is meant for people who enjoy simplicity and the nature, some homeowners may decide to carry the country decorating theme through the entire living space.<br /><br />Country home decorating combines colors which are clean and bright with country furniture and accessories. When choosing colors for country home decorating, light to medium shades of white, yellow, pink, green or brown are good choices. Colors should reflect a rustic feeling. To add to the painted walls, a homeowner or decorator may decide to use stencils with country character such as flowers or plants, fruits or vegetables. Wallpaper boarders are also often used in country home decorating. It is fine to use these additions but the rule of thumb is to make certain the patterns do not clash.<br /><br />In keeping with a rustic and simple theme, country home decorating uses wood, natural wood. When deciding on a material for a country floor, natural wood is a nice choice. Of course using natural wood throughout a large area can be costly. If looking for a less-expensive way to give floors a country look, a light shade of carpet might be considered or laminate flooring. These options would also work well with the country home decorating theme. Other suggestions for country floors are flagstone or tile. Some homeowners, if they are really creative, decorate their floors with stencils and create patterns. Another great way to jazz up a space is to use area rugs. In keeping with the country home decorating theme, those with an authentic look create a warm and cozy feeling. Hooked, quilted and braided rugs make beautiful additions to a country floor.<br /><br />In addition when choosing furniture to compliment country home decorating, light wood or wicker is suggested. Again, these materials reflect the beauty of nature. If a homeowner or decorator decides fabric would accent their furniture, such as cushions or slip covers, floral patterns or checkered fabrics add to the authentic look.<br /><br />After all, accessorizing a room always adds to its beauty. When buying accessories to fit in with a country home decorating theme, it is good to keep in mind the type of atmosphere you are trying to create, a warm and inviting space. Simplicity goes a long way in country home decorating. It is recommended to never use too many decorations and choose accessories that family and friends will enjoy. Photos in simple wooden frames, plain mirrors, plants and fragrant candles dress up country home decorating. Window treatments should also be simple. Lace or shutters give a cozy country feel. Country home decorating can be interesting and fun. Perhaps the main detail to keep in mind is simplicity. Try not to over-decorate, remember too many patterns will clash. Too many decorations will eliminate the amount of space in a room. Country home decorating creates a relaxing and friendly environment, meant to be warm and cozy.
