Kitchen Decoration

Kitchen decoration is really all about personal taste. However, the greatest news that many homeowners are now applauding is that the newest line of decor are not only great to look at but are truly functional as well. Additionally, there are now more and more suppliers who are providing more affordable alternatives that still look like pieces taken directly from designer showrooms. There are also whole ranges of themed decor for those who want to have the Asian, futuristic, modern or rustic-countryside look. If you are looking for ways and means to really spice up your cooking area space, here are some kitchen decoration tips you may want to consider.Think themes. One way of really bringing together your kitchen decoration efforts is to think of a specific theme for this space. This way, you can avoid the temptation of cramming too many things all at once in your cooking area. Unless you want your kitchen to look like a museum of sorts, having one theme can help you narrow down your choices considerably. Some of the most common kitchen themes include: Asian design (Japanese inspired dark wood); futuristic (metal and chrome everywhere); modern (that home-sweet-home feel with a more contemporary touch); and rustic countryside look (wood and tin.) However, you can always choose more whimsical themes like a rooster theme (wallpaper with rooster designs, or fixtures shaped as such); or geranium-inspired (with a herbs and potted plants as main focal point.)Think functionality over convenience. For many people placing colorful and decorative tiles as substitute for wall paper and paint is not only unique, but easier on the maintenance as well. Tiles do not fade as fast as paint, and certainly fare better in design permanence as opposed to wallpapers. Many people are not likely to choose decorative tiles simply because these take a longer time to put up in comparison to wallpapering or painting the walls. However, this can be a worth investment that can help raise the value of your home more.

Here are 12 great guest room ideas just for you:Leave a sewing kit in a drawer. Any lost buttons or torn hems can be easily and quickly mended.Always put out fresh, luxury sheets.

Wall Decoration

Nothing in your home says more about you than the art you have on your wall. The reason for this is unlike your sofa or any other piece of furniture, there are no practicalities to consider when choosing wall art- it is merely a case of what you like. Whether you chose your art for the composition and colours that handily match your room or because it had some personal relevance, everything thing on your wall tells a little story. Therefore it is wise to give a little thought when it comes to choosing some, be a wild and wacky as you want just be sure it feels relevant to you. If a picture of a smoking dog playing pool dominates your front room, what does this say about you? If you have no art at all, are you a blank canvas?The brilliant thing about art is you can go as pricey or as cheap as you want, you can even paint some yourself- it is available to everybody and it still the quickest way to bring some life to a tried old wall.For some Georgian or Victorian splendour, you should really emphasis the frame. A huge oversize guilt frame with shapes that match your cornicing is what you are looking for. Fill it with either traditional country scenes or even better would be a family portrait. Scouring junk shops and markets might just lead to bargain if this is your style so spend an afternoon having a look before you pay top price in art dealers.The huge popularity of the modern-retro look means there is lots of discount wall art around in the style of Pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. The simple compositions of such pieces coupled with the blocks of bright colours mean they are easily the most cost effective way of introducing some flair to a space whilst allowing you to impress your friends with by referencing an important period in art history. Increase the impact for next to nothing by pairing these pieces with a brightly coloured roller blinds.

Modern furniture combined with good interior design; create atmosphere and style


Creating a cohesive interior design for you home isn’t that hard if you know some of the basics. In fact, decorating your home so that all the various elements combine to create the look you’ve always wanted can be a lot of fun.

Following are some proven tips to help your house into a designer home:











Taking the first step

As they say, let’s start at the beginning. Chances are good that your home is a mish mash of furnishings, art, accents and accessories that have been collected over time. To create the perfect designer look, you want to first consider the purpose for each room, how you want it to look, your personal tastes, features that can and can’t be changed, and finally, the budget you have available.

Star with the key elements

The success of a room’s design lies in the balance you create. The basics of gook design are proportion, balance, contrast, rhythm, pattern/texture and harmony. Knowing how these elements work together will help you design your space so that it’s not only beautiful, but comfortable and functional as well.

Proportion

Scales is one of the most important things to consider when creating the look of a room. A room that is proportioned correctly will feel welcoming while an incorrectly portioned room will just feel crowded and unfriendly. The trick is to match pieces in terms of their scale. A large overstuffed sofa needs an equally large end table or coffee table; otherwise, these accents simply disappear as the sofa dwarfs them proportionally. When considering scale, look to the other rooms in home for furniture that may be a better fit with the focal pieces you have in your room.



Balance

When crating balance, there’s two ways to go here. The first is symmetrical design, where everything is perfectly balanced. With symmetrical design, there’s roughly two of everything or items are mirrored in the room. For instance, one chair is placed exactly opposite another one just like it. While this creates balance, it can also make a room look static and lacking any visual interest or energy. Experienced designers use asymmetry to create this interest. Objects balance well because they are judged by their visual weight, not pairings. For instance, you have a large sofa on one side of the room that is balanced by two large overstuffed chairs with an accent table in the middle and floor lamp behind. These pieces balance the sofa visually, even though they aren’t equal in size or shape. The design works because there is balance in the asymmetrical layout of the furniture.











Contrast

Imagine walking into a white room with white carpet and white furniture. Pretty boring, huh? Contrast helps draw the eye around a room through the intelligent use of color. Bold use of colors creates energy while the use of muted shaded in complementary tones crates calm. The more contrast you crate, the easier it is for the human eye to follow the intended design of the room, moving visually from one space to another, guided by the use of color and contrast.

Rhythm

While crating contrast with the use of light and dark tones can be effective, it can also create boredom. To keep the room connected, you want to use rhythm. This means reusing specific colors, patterns, textures or themes throughout the room. Pick a couple main colors and repeat them in different ways in tour paint scheme, fabrics and accents.











Pattern & Texture

As the eye moves about a room, it picks up specific patterns. These are grouped together, so a blue wall is combined with a striped piece of fabric that has the same blue in it. Patterns that don’t fit crate conflict in the mind, compromising the appearance of the space. Again, you want to pick one or two primary patterns or textures and vary them within the color palette you’ve already crated for the room. Right alongside the elements of contrast and rhythm decorating is pattern/texture.

Harmony

If you’ve ever heard three signers sing different parts that sound amazing together, then you already know what harmony is. The same is true for the harmony in your home. Different colors, different designs and different proportions combine to create a new look that was never there before, just as new notes are created by singers singing three different parts. The room is suddenly complete. It has a look that if you remove just one element, won’t have that harmonic fell to it any longer. When you’ve achieved harmony, you’ve achieved your design goals.
