Interior Decorating and Design

 
The house structure isn't the only thing that means something in making sure that it's strong and comfortable, safety or long-lasting. The interior fixtures like the furniture and appliances, the designs or decorations, will also be equally important because these things supply the dwellers actual benefits instantly. These things must be arranged properly suitable for the interior design or decorating. It is stated, especially from oriental beliefs or tradition, how the process of interior or decorating significantly produces either the attraction and repellent of fortune and best of luck.

Chinese beliefs have for hundreds of years used interior design and decorating in an effort to make sure that the good health, fortune, or positive luck come indoors and that the same is resistant against misfortune, calamity, and disaster. For western perspective, this practice also results in the same benefits although not purely on the reason of attraction of luck or good vibes but just because well arranged home interior really prevents accidents from occurring for example dwellers stumbling from the badly located large vase or stool.

Whatever principle you base your house interior design, whether it is from the oriental or western perspective, one thing is considerably true or common for both, that interior design or decorating produces great comfort or convenience towards the dwellers of the house which foreseeable accidents are effectively avoided. Owners themselves can do this practice.

Green is really a miraculous color since it works with all other colors. Green is refreshing and cool and jogs my memory of summer living. When combined with any shade of blue or yellow, I believe of sunny days by cool blue water, drinking margaritas experiencing the warm weather. When green is paired with reds, pinks and oranges, I visualize an assortment of flowers.


 Interior Design - Decorating Walls


It's sometimes hard to start redecorating your home, especially when you don't really need it, but you'd like a change. Interior design is a job for professionals, but with a little bit of imagination and some guidance you too could create an astonishing design. This is hard when there is no plan to follow. So, the first thing you should do is create a decorating plan, in which to include what you want to change, the available budget, tools you'll need, materials and the estimated time period.

Many people believe there is not much you can do on a low budget. That's more or less true. I'd prefer saying less. There are so many resources available today, plenty waiting at a click of the mouse, that you have practically no excuse not to create astonishing interior designs. You'll find online all you need, from complex mural and decorative wall paintings to ordinary wallpapers. Here are a few wall decorating ideas.


Printed Fabrics to Replace Expensive Paintings

 

When all you have to enhance is a plain huge white wall, you might want to choose an extra large painting, but art doesn't come in cheap. If your budget is low, investing $ 500 - $ 700 to enliven a plain room might be too much. Are there any alternatives? Well, you could either make that painting yourself - but this will still cost a lot (large canvases are expensive; acryl or oil colors as well, plus the most costly tool of all: your time) - or you could visit a few of the local textile stores to choose a nice piece of fabric that will match the colors of your furniture or the other design patterns in the room. You'll need to choose a fabric with big prints and a special pattern, something meaningful, like a flower, leaf or butterfly; something exotic (maybe a palm tree or a colored bird) or something abstract. No matter what you choose, make sure the print goes together with the other elements of the room.



Decals Make Nice Wall Ornaments


Decals are funny in children's rooms. There are plenty of decals made especially for interior design purposes, both for walls or doors and even for furniture. You could find them in many home improvement or interior decorating shops, or online, at very low prices. The decals are great for small accents or trails around windows or doors. If you ever get tired of them, peel them off carefully and they will not cause any damage to the wall.


Latex Paints to Design Your Own Wall Patterns

You could also use latex paint to design your own wall patterns. If you do the job well, no one will ever make the difference between your work and real wallpaper. But you'll have the satisfaction of something unique, something no one else in the world has, not even those who employ skilled interior designers to do the job. If you want a regular pattern, you'll need a stencil. For your pattern to be really unique you should design your own stencil. It's fun and easy. Browse the web to find stencil tutorials for interior decorations that will guide you through the whole process step by step. Yes, this technique requires a lot of your time, but the results are worth the price.


Home Interior Decorating Ideas


If you are thinking of redecorating your home, you are probably searching around for some home interior decorating ideas. Redecorating presents a great chance to express yourself by displaying your style and interests. You do this by matching colours, textiles, styles and artwork. The combinations of possibilities in home interior decorating are really endless. No two houses ever have look the same by accident.

It would be easy to redecorate and adopt any home interior decorating styles if money were not a restraint. Therefore, the question for most people is how to redecorate the home within a budget. You can get home interior decorating ideas from the many interior design programmes on TV or by buying a couple of the home interior design magazines. The problem with the magazines, more so than with the TV programmes, is that they tend to show ideas that price thousands of dollars.

The Net is another source of realistic home interior decorating ideas that ordinary people can afford. The prices of the items used in the Internet displays are normally a lot more affordable too. The Net is also a good way of comparing the various broad-swathe styles. Styles such as country, modern, traditional, Mediterranean, Provencal, minimalist et cetera.

If you like the older styles such as country, primitive, Provencal or traditional, darker, warmer colours are the best. These colours go well with fabrics and old (style), wooden furniture. Wall hangings, paintings of country scenes, curtains and plenty of throw cushions are a feature of this style of interior design. Autumn colours go well together to produce a warm, friendly, cozy atmosphere.

Modern, minimalist and Mediterranean styles tend to use brighter colours whites and off-whites like magnolia are de rigeur. Home interior decorating ideas for these styles incorporate a lack of clutter and plenty of free space and light.

The walls ought to have one or two pieces of art rather than the six to ten of the older styles. Leather furniture fits in well here: white or black, with one contrasting throw cushion per seating place. A white cushion on a black sofa and visa-versa.

However, there is nothing wrong with you mixing these style. This often occurs anyway, especially if people give you furniture or you inherit it. If you strive to combine different pieces of furniture which obviously come from drastically different styles, you will have to have something to bridge the gap between them, so to speak. This can be done quite easily with materials such as throw cushions, wall hangings like tapestries, rugs and carpets.

The throw cushions do not all have to match. In fact, in the old days it was very unlikely that all the cushions or pillows in a room would all be the same, because cushions were often made from off-cuts of fabric from other projects. A range of different throw cushions can help you combine styles quite easily. Another home interior decorating idea, is to fill an old cabinet with more modern pieces of glass and china.
