Living rooms

Crazy living rooms



Most people are afraid to use too many colors, but what they often fail to see is that it’s the way they use and place color that can make or break the room, says many design consultants, who propose an easy “rule of three” that can help infuse your home with vitality.



Decorate your space with tiers of color. Begin with a rug, fabric or wallpaper you love and look closely at what colors are in it. The rug is a good place to start because it warms the room and you can build up.

What colors do I love?
What colors make me happy? If you don’t have an immediate answer to this question, check your closet. Does one color dominate? Design consultant Sheldon, who is trained as an architect, was recently working with a client to choose wall colors for a new house. After finally finding the perfect bedroom color, the client realized it was the same shade as her favorite coat. When you like a color, you really like a color.

Ideas for Design

Some Interior Design Ideas

Find some Interior Design Magazines. It seems to be everywhere these days. Notice what it is you like. There are magazines for decorators, magazines for do-it-yourselfers, and magazines about architecture and the homes of famous people. Most of these publications are readily accessible by subscription or on your local library's periodical shelves.

You can get interior design ideas by simply paying attention to rooms around you. Your friends and family's homes may have things you like or things you definitely want to stay away from. You can also go to furniture stores, craft stores and home improvement stores for ideas.

You’ll gain a comprehensive foundation in all aspects of residential interior design, studying colour, furnishings, architecture, design theory, ergonomics, kitchen and bathroom design, building technology, materials and finishes, and lighting.

When decorating your home it’s best to start with the flooring and work your way up. Decide what kind of flooring you want, carpet or wood. Then choose a color for the walls. After that, work in your furniture or start looking at new furniture. Choose a few home décor elements that match everything and personalize the room. Finally, choose lightening elements that pull it all together.

Buying products secondhand is a key component of interior decorating on a budget. Peruse your neighborhood or online and discover a variety of traditional and unique decorating options. Look for detail pieces like decorative iron brackets or find new uses for traditional items. Sample an old iron gate as a pot storage rack on your kitchen ceiling or maybe an antique wood ladder as a plant stand.

How do you Choose Colors for Decorating?

TIPS on how do you Choose Colors...

- What are your favorite colors?? Chances are good, you’ll want to decorate with those colors.
- What certain colors mean to you? Do you love red, green or do you find it a vulgar shade? What about lighter or darker shades? Would a shadowy purple be okay, or a light violet?
- What about your favorite decorating pieces. Do you have a picture or a vase you love? If so, draw colors from them.
- Use the color wheel to find colors that compliment each other and work well next to each other. - Start slow. Don’t paint your all your rooms blue and then find you hate the shade. Experiment and expect to make mistakes. Remember, most things you do can be undone....
