A Modern Home Decoration

1) Limit patterns to pieces that can easily be changed out. In short, rather than choosing a graphic patterned tile for your kitchen floor, choose patterned dish towels, potholders, dishes, placemats and kitchen accessories. The secret to using pattern is to use it in small doses that will not be difficult or expensive to change when the pattern becomes passe.
2) In decorating living rooms and dens, you’re better off opting for pattern in smaller furniture pieces rather than anchor pieces. Instead of a patterned couch, choose patterned pillows. Or think about adding pattern to an accent chair that can later be easily re-covered or slip-covered. Recently, many modernists have added pattern to their living spaces through patterned lampshades.
3) Consider a mural. Want an up-to-the-minute pattern in your home, but you want to be able to change at the drop of a hat? Consider incorporating pattern into your home through a painted pattern or wall decals (check out patterns offered by the French firm, Domestic, at left). The big plus is that painted pattern is easier to change than painted wall paper, and wall decals, (at least in theory) can just be peeled off. Also, just a little bit goes a long way. It’s enough to paint just one accent wall or entryway with a dazzling pattern to dramatic effect.

4) Think about incorporating pattern in more subtle ways. What does that mean? How about a wooden floor installed in a herringbone pattern, or a fireplace incorporating an interesting tile pattern? What about a room divider or bookshelf built in a uniquely patterned way? Pattern does not have to mean pattern found on fabric, but can extend to patterns that are actually part of walls, floors, and furniture.
5) Stick to classics. It’s oh-so-tempting to choose up-to-the-minute colors and patterns that seem so current today. But the problem with all the neon colors and graphic prints is that they also quickly go out of style. The easiest way to handle the problem is to opt for patterns that have proven themselves to be classic over time. Patterns that fall into this category include the prints and designs found in oriental rugs and tribal kilims, most stripes, and the pattern found in cowhide, zebra and other animal skins.
6) Use pattern judiciously. Even very bold patterns that will date fast can be used and enjoyed when they are used carefully. That means opting for less pattern rather than more. You probably don’t want to add pattern through drapes or curtains, which tend to dominate a large visual expanse. Instead, how about a boldly patterned footstool, which uses much less visual space? Using pattern in smaller amounts will give your pattern more staying power. Even if a pattern never becomes a classic, in small doses it is likely to work well for many years to come.

This is not as difficult as you might think and there are a lot of things you can do to revolutionize your existing bathroom decor to something newer and more modern. Major changes does not mean that it must have been expensive.
You can get a good looking bathroom even if you are on a budget. You will often need to cut a few corners, but they should not be too heavy or something dramatic. One of the best ways to recover to your bathroom, if you are on a tight budget is to go at it gradually. Take it point at a time or even a project on time and change your old bathroom decor in your new bathroom decor.
The problem, however, is that you can not see a dramatic change taking place, instead you will have a gradual change which can be quite inadequate at the time. Therefore, one more thing you can do is to change the decor of the bathroom all the time.
This can be a great pleasure for the eyes and can brighten the mood considerably when you see the changes that are classics. The best place to start your bathroom project, whether you are on a tight budget or not, is to take the time to sit down and plan what you want changed about your bathroom decor.

To get best effect let's start with the walls, they need a fresh coat of paint or you can get away with a few strategically placed pictures and mirrors.
If you just change the shower curtain that can significantly improve the appearance of the room. Look at the carpets and bedding and assess whether to change them as well. Good place for you to start with the color scheme or a theme in mind.
Bathroom DecorationIf you can choose what you want your bathroom to look like ultimately - within your budget - they can continue from there. A few decorative elements here and there will enhance your bathroom and can eventually work. Mingled with a few key figures and expensive new bathroom decor may be what you want.

Home Office Design
Now more about 30 million Americans are working from home at least part time, and 70% of those people have a home office or designated workstations in their homes. In fact, home offices ranked as the fourth most important feature in a new upscale home according to a recent survey by the National Association of Home Builders.

It used to be that your choice was cheap (but not necessarily inexpensive) modular office furniture from Staples or a huge desk from a high-end furniture store. Now cabinet makers are creating custom built home office spaces, and many interior designers are willing to take on one room at a time.
At the high end, men in particular, are creating “testosterone rooms” with touches of grandeur and big plasma screen for watching football games with buddies. For a mere $20,000 Hooker Furniture will sell you a wrap around the room home office set with a built-in look including a matching desk and chair, a computer hutch, a bookcase, a credenza, an entertainment center large enough for a 60-inch flat-screen television, and a bar cabinet.
For some reason women never had a place to work and had to use the end of the kitchen counter or a small desk in the guest bedroom, but not any more. Some women have added a room devote entirely to their work, away from areas used by the kids.

Inexpensive DIY Under Cabinet Lighting

Why?
Previously when you prepared food in my mom's kitchen you would be standing between the ceiling light and your work surface, thus casting a shadow. Additionally, under cabinet lighting tends to look nice. It's quite the dramatic effect in person and definitely stepped up the look of the kitchen a lot. It's less harsh of a light in person and significantly improved visibility while working in the kitchen.
Cost & Power Usage
I was able to light my mom's entire kitchen for under $40.00 including all parts. Additionally, the lights are quite power efficient, using about 3 watts per light tube (I used 6 pair / 12 tubes total). Total wattage=36 watts, or 3amps at 12V. This is a little over half the power usage of a normal 60watt incandescent bulb. Your final project price will vary depending on your supplies and the size of your kitchen.
Compare With and Without
1. Under cabinet lighting on, Ceiling light off.
2. Under cabinet lighting off, Ceiling light on.
3. Both under cabinet lighting on and ceiling light on.



10 Home Decorating Ideas
2. Paint A Wall - Paint one wall your favorite color and make it the focal point. Hang interesting art on that wall and move a nice piece of furniture there. (Note: Make sure that the color is one that is shared with several other objects and fabrics in the room.) Editors Note: Not all renters will be allowed to paint, visit Decorating by Room for more wall decorating ideas.
3. Bring In Plants - Greenery always adds a breath of fresh air to a room. If you don't have a green thumb, try silk plants and trees. The quality has gotten so good that its hard to distinguish them from the real thing.
4. Lay An Area Rug- An area rug is a wonderful way of defining a conversation area. Try one that complements the room. Lay it at an angle beneath your coffee table.
5. Hang Pictures or Mirror - Hang pictures that reflect your personality. Try frames that are more ornate. When hanging a mirror, try and position it so that it reflects and nice view or an interesting architectural element.
6. Group Figurines - Pull out your favorite collectibles. Show off your personality. Find a display area and group related objects together, in sets of three or five. Try and vary the shapes.
7. Add Decorative Pillows - The good news about decorative pillows is that they are an easy way to add textures and patterns to a room. Still better, they can be changed to jazz up a sofa or chair before your room is ready for a major makeover.
8. Replace Lamps- - Lamps are probably the one thing in your home that will give others a clue that your room is outdated. Seek out new and fresh lamps that make a statement.
9. Add A Throw Or Afghan - Similar to decorative pillows, throws and afghans add texture to your furniture. They come in all kinds of natural and man made fabrics. Find a pattern and style that you like.
10. Eliminate Clutter - Clutter has a way of eliminating the desired mood and effect of any room. Find storage spaces for papers, toys, and other items that take from the personality of a room.

Summer House Bedroom

Summer is in full swing, and it’s time to take a deep breath and soak your stress away.
The function of any bedroom is first and foremost to provide a restful environment for sleeping. There shouldn’t be anything disturbing or jarring in a bedroom, even if you’re using the most modern style of design.
In this room, everything is conducive to resting, so the room’s primary function is completely fulfilled. But this bedroom also functions well not just for providing a good night’s sleep, but also for providing a comfortable place in which to read or enjoy the view of the water.
You’ll note that here the tall windows have no curtains, so that might make you think the room would be difficult for sleeping late into the morning, something we all love to indulge in during vacations. But notice the curtains around the bed itself: close these curtains and you’ve shut out the morning light, and you’ve also created a cozier and more intimate space around the bed.
The night stands on either side of the bed also function well; when a couple is using the bed, each person will have access to books, reading light, or alarm clock.
The mood of this room is a relaxed one, and the antique furniture creates an old-fashioned feeling, bringing a visitor back to a slower, simpler time. But it isn’t stuffy; the antiques are arranged in a modern way, and the carpet and modern windows and doors to the balcony undercut any potential stuffiness from the old-fashioned furniture.
The swags of curtain material draped around the bed add to the mood, recalling colonialists’ luxurious homes in the Caribbean islands.
Finally, let’s look at the harmony of the room: Everything works together here, and nothing is out of place. The fact that pale, summery colors dominate the room makes harmonizing easy: the white bedspread sets the standard as the brightest thing in the room, since the walls are slightly more tea-colored, and the carpet is slightly darker still. The wood of the furniture, and the maroon throw pillows on the bed, further bring in deeper tones that prevent the room from appearing cold or sterile.
Home Design
Home design is a very close to heart subject for many home owners. A home is place where we relax and spend our lives. A home protects us from natural environment so that we can live a healthy life. The true success of a home design project is very difficult to define. Since a home is dream for many people it can vary from person to person what a good home design is for him/her.
However on this website I have tried my best to generalize various aspects that go into creating a beautiful and healthy home design. Let's get started immediately.
Primarily any home building will have three common elements that constitute to the beauty of the design in itself. As I said good design is a relative term but depends o these three factors.
- Exterior Form
- Interior Style
- Surroundings
Let's have a look at these three in detail.
Exterior Home Design or The Form Of The Design
By form of the building I mean that actual finished built structure of home. The shape final built structure largely depends upon how the interior rooms have been arranged. What is inside will always reflect on the outside. Hence an architect always thinks about both exteriors and interiors while designing a home building. As a common rule these two types of home buildings are commonly found. depending upon where these structures have been built the internal arrangement of the rooms and hence the external shape will change.
