Choosing Colours For Your Interiors!

One of the greatest things about interior design is that you can opt for any style you like, it's your home and you should feel comfortable in it! You do not have to keep up with the very latest design trends to have an interior which is stunning.

If you can't decide on which colour you like best or simply have to have them all then simple aspects such as painting your cupboard doors all a different colour can look striking and very stylish! In order that the look is not overwhelmed opt for plain white blinds which enable you to control how much light and privacy you want or need.

Using Venetian styled blinds in a kitchen is ideal, particularly if they are made from metal which has been coated to help reduce dust build up as well as being very easy to keep clean, as they allow plenty of natural light to flood into the room creating a homely, bright and airy space when stacked at the top of the window or when the louvres are tilted open. If you have small windows you can further maximise the use of natural light up slightly tilting the louvres upwards which enables the light to bounce off a white ceiling.

Keep things natural in the kitchen by having easy to clean flooring around the working areas. If you have a table in your kitchen you can opt for a rug made from natural materials to keep the theme coordinated and bring a sense of homeliness as well as cohesion to the room.

Protect Your Flooring From Fading With Venetian or Vertical Blinds

Wooden flooring has been popular for many years, either original stripped floor boards in older styles of homes, parquet flooring in the 1960s along with the influx of laminate style flooring which is being used throughout modern homes.

Interior designers have created beautiful wooden floors which have patterns set within them providing the best of both worlds in terms of both innovation and chic style! The patterns are made from using different coloured wood in the same way as marquetry is used on furniture. Wood inlay coloured patterns can be selected to blend effortlessly with your interior design colour scheme, offering a truly remarkable floor with maximum effect.

However, anyone with a natural floor needs to take care and reduce the risk of staining by mopping up spills as quickly as possible before it has time to penetrate into the wood and also by ensuring the window dressing they choose offers flexibility and practicality in helping to reduce the floor from fading in harsh sunlight. This is of particular importance if you have south facing windows as even in the UK where people may not think there is sufficient or intense sunlight which will damage floors will be astounded to know that the UV rays can cause as much harm to your floor as they can to your skin even on the dullest of days!

Venetain or vertical blinds are the ideal solution as they can look stunning when used as the sole window treatment and equally as striking when teamed with curtains. The great advantage over having either of these styles of blinds is the amount of control you have in diffusing the light or blocking it out completely. Adjusting the louvres correctly will also help furniture and soft furnishings from fading, as well as providing privacy when needed.

Break The 'Rules' With Bold Curtains And Fabrics

Finding new and innovative ways to dress your windows has never been easier with the vast range of colours and styles of fabric which are widely available both on the high street and online.

Go for something daring and bold which brings nature into your home by selecting fabric which has a bold floral print in this season's in-trend colour of gorgeous lime green and white. To add further individuality and chic style to your home rather then opt for a classical curtain at each side of the window, use one wide curtain or length of fabric and sweep it from the top of the window to one side and hold in place with a tie back.

This enables the beauty of the pattern and the fabric to be seen at all times not just when the curtains are drawn together in the evenings. If floral patterns are not to your taste this style of window dressing works equally as effectively with any bold print as well as plain fabric. Keep the weight of the fabric in mind when making your choice as the lighter the weight the more fluidity it will provide.

Coordinate the colour with the rest of your interior design colour scheme or alternatively opt for a deliberate clash of colours to inject vibrancy and a sense of fun into a room. The latest colour clashing is in-vogue in a big way at present which enables you to opt for your favourite colours and do away with the usual 'rules' of interior design, which is an absolute joy for those who can never seem to get their colours coordinated correctly!

However, although colour clashing is in-vogue you do need to be a little careful otherwise you can end up with a miss-mash of colours which look more like an interior design nightmare than chic style!

Interior Design Styles

Interior Design Styles
http://www.home-designing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/okitu-house-3.jpg

Good search has resulted into writing this article for you, I hope it helps.

You want to redecorate your house but there's one thing stopping you from achieving you goal. You don't know what you want! There are so many interior design styles out there and you like just about all of them. You don't know which one you should take for your own house and now your want to redecorate your house might be floundering. There's actually only thing for it and that's to sit down and take a good look at what it is about the rooms you want to redecorate, that you don't like. There could be many things, there by and large are, but that's where you need to decide what the major sticking points are when you look at a room.

http://www.home-designing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/beach-house-1.jpg

Once you get those grouped out then it's a matter of decision making which particular interior design styles you like. When you do that, then it's easier for you to start constricting your selection down. Like for instance you might like the colors and the patterns of the Southwestern style of interior design styles, but you don't know if you could live with that throughout your inherent house.

http://www.home-designing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/beach-house-2.jpg

Then again you also like a few bits that are strictly westerly but even one room decorated in that character of fashion would drive you frantic before the day was out. Or perhaps you favor the Asian approach to things and wouldn't mind having some Japanese fashion elements in your house, but it would definitely have to blend in with the other furnishings or stand out as something whole different, in a good way of course!

http://www.home-designing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/beach-house-interior-6.jpg

With so many interior design styles for you to choose from it's getting harder by the minute for you to decide what just you want to do. And that's why you made your list in the first place to be able to make some kind of decision. You now know what you don't like, what you could live with and what is very well in small doses.

Of course one possible answer to your indecision over the diverse interior design styles could be to just to mixing everything in a hodge-podge of a mismatch and trust it all turns out for the best, or you could just curb your tendencies and go with something which will give you that just-stepped-into-a-magazine kind of home, look. What you decide on in the final analysis depends on what you can live with after you've finished redecorating, so remember to select wisely!

I hope this article provided you with the info you were look for. I have many other articles online that may be of interest to you.

Decorating a teenage girl's bedroom can be extremely difficult to achieve due to the ever changing fashions in colours and interior design trends. Making a striking yet simple, practical and very functional bedroom can be achieve with a little ingenuity even on a limited budget!

Those who are handy with a sewing machine can choose fabric to suit the colour trends and transform bedrooms into chic places with coordinating bed covers, curtains and blinds which also offer a different stance on a typical bedroom design by having curtains which close across the bed!

5 Steps To Interior Design

5 Steps To Interior Design
http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Whistler%20Canada%20Home.jpg

We don’t need to go that many years back in time to find things being completely different than they are now in most of the industrialized world. There was a time where interior design in the form of trying to stand out in the crowd was only for the people of royal heritage or people belonging to the upper class of society.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Canadian%20Kitchen%20Pictures.jpg

The most people did not decorate their homes to make it looks pretty or special but merely to have the most practical home possible. Especially the poorer part of society was practical in their decoration because they didn’t prioritize to spend money on “looks”. Looks didn’t put food on the table and looks didn’t finish the work in the field.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Ski%20Resort%20Home%20Interior%20Views.jpg

Today things have changed significantly and we are seeing more and more people spending loads and loads of money on interior design. I’ve gathered a small list of 5 steps that you can take if you want to either start decorating you home or if you feel that you need some refinement.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Mountain%20Home%20Fireplace.jpg

5 steps to take – #1


The easy way, but also the most costly way is to hire a interior designer to do the work for you. If you do a simple search on Google you will find thousands and thousands of designers that are willing to help you for money. If you want to go don’t that route I encourage you to take some references before entering into a costly deal. See some of the homes that they have already designed to make sure that you like their style.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/indoor%20pools.jpg

5 steps to take - #2


If you don’t want to pay someone for helping you out then there is an option available that might be worth a try. Around the nation there are many design schools with people graduating every year. Common for them is the fact that they end up doing a design project to finish their education. Put up notes on the boards of the design school saying “need a home to design for your final project? Contact ……” or something like that. This method is not for you if you are in a hurry.

5 steps to take - #3


Family! Luckily most people have family and in most family you will find (primarily mothers) people that would love to give their input as to how you should design your home. Now even though this method is free you need to be careful. Depending on the person you engage in the project you might end up in some hefty arguments.

5 steps to take - #4


If you want to do it on your own there is plenty of inspiration to find in both magazines and newspapers. Most newspapers today have whole sections on interior design so you won’t have to search for long to find inspiration. If you are looking for a special style then magazines is the way to go. Most times they have themes and you will just have to find the edition that covers the theme that you’re searching for.

5 steps to take - #5


Now the final step is the one that will be the most “you”. This is where you use your imagination and go shop for furniture and different kinds of decoration and then try to put everything together. The result can easily vary and if you are not that good at it you might find yourself spending many hours trying to get it right. However, if you are like many interior decorators then that won’t bother you because that is what you enjoy the most.

Decorating Interior Design-How To Do It Right
http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/images/japanese%20modern%20architecture%20and%20interior%20design.jpg

So you want some decorating interior design tips to improve your home? Today, many people want to redesign their houses in order to match their personalities and lifestyles.

Unfortunately, how many people never take action to achieve the decorating interior designing want, simply because they believe it's too expensive. Actually, when you do it the right way, redesigning your home’s interior can be very affordable, not to mention rewarding.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/images/modern%20and%20contemporary%20interior%20design.jpg

Think about it: you spend so much time in your house, doesn’t it make sense to have a home design you want? And yet, so many people simply survive the interior their homes, because they believe it would cost much to change it. You spend so much time inside your house, if you like your home interior design, it can really do wonders for your mood.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Cool%20Contemporary%20Monaco%20Building.jpg

Here's an important step in finding the design materials you will need at a discounted price. First of all, checking outlets around you that may be selling materials for wholesale prices. Simply, when you start out in a retail store, you will be paying as high a price you can possibly pay for materials that you could really get much cheaper otherwise, and probably for just as good quality. Also, check any discount stores around you.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/unique%20celing%20shapes%20and%20designs.jpg

Next up, check the Internet. The Internet literally has millions of results for virtually any topic you are considering getting more information on. In fact, you can literally check out hundreds of different decorating interior design sites in a very short time.

This will help you to find out exactly what kind materials you will need, and how expensive they will be. Not to mention the fact that on the Internet, you can generally find much better bargains online than you ever will be able to find off-line.

Another common question people ask when doing interior design is that whether or not they should do it themselves. Of course, this answer will be different for everybody. Quite simply, you need to ask yourself whether you know enough about the material you'll be changing in order to do yourself.

For instance, if you know a lot about your kitchen interior design, but you are forced to redesign your bedroom, you might consider hiring a decorating interior design professional, as they will know much more about the topic than you. You can often times end up paying much more money by trying to do it yourself and making many mistakes, as opposed to simply by hiring somebody in the first place who knows what they're doing and will do right the first time over. Hopefully, these decorating interior design tips will help you a great deal in deciding whether to tackle that next home design project.

A program called the Interior Design Experience Program is a program that will help the student during their transition period.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Seattle%20Washington%20House.jpg

The student who aspires to enter the world of interior design careers should have a personal portfolio of their work.

Interior Design Basics

Interior Design Basics
http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Beverly%20Hills%20Home%20Pictures.jpg

Whether you are decorating an empty apartment or just looking to freshen up an existing space, there are some key design basics that might help you make sure your room looks and functions the way you envision. Factors such as your budget, lifestyle, and family size will all play a part in the design decisions you make.

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/furniture%20living%20room.jpg

Before you begin

Before you start shopping for new furniture or accessories, take a minute to think about exactly what you want out of your room and what limitations you might be facing. You might have structural challenges you need to work around or an existing color scheme that cannot be changed. Consider the following various factors:

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/outdoor%20patio%20living.jpg

1. Lifestyle

How will the space be used?


How many people will be using space on a regular basis?


Will the space be used for entertaining?


Does the space need to be child friendly?

http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/images/modern%20eurpoean%20homes%20and%20contemporary%20architecture.jpg

2. Existing design elements

Is there already furniture in the room? Will it be staying?


What color are the walls? Do the walls have to remain white?


How many pieces that will be used in the room do you own already?


Does the room have adequate storage? Do you need more storage?

3. Possible constraints

Do you rent? If so, what kinds of changes are allowed by your landlord?


Are there any built in features already?


Are you planning on moving in the near future?


Will the room have multiple functions?

Narrowing your choices

Once you have evaluated your current situation, decide what color scheme you would like to develop. Look through magazines and collect clippings of the style you are working towards to further develop your vision of how the space will look and feel once it is finished. It may help if you draw a floor plan to help you remember exact dimensions as well as door and window placement. Once you have an idea of what elements you need, review your budget and prioritize where the bulk of the money will be spent and where money could be saved if needed. Once you have prioritized the primary elements of the room, make a schedule of the various steps involved and make sure you do them in the easiest order.

Design Phase

Before you begin choosing furniture, fabrics and rugs, determine whether or not you will be doing any structural work to the space. Changing dimensions and flow from other rooms can really alter your design choices. Once you know exactly how the room will look structurally, you can start to choose the actual design pieces that will occupy the room. Begin with a furniture placement plan that appeals to you. After completing this step you or your designer can choose styles and colors. If you have a particular focal point you will be using, such as a picture, build the room around it. Now it is time to shop. You can start with the floor, the walls, or the furniture, but it is best to select all fabrics, flooring, and paint colors before making any purchases.

Blinds Are A Cost Effective Window Dressing

Interior design has not only gone 'green' by using the different colour shades of green, the use of natural materials from sustainable sources is also high on many people's design agendas.

Natural cotton fabrics, Hessian and wood are among the most popular choices, combined with colour schemes which are derived from nature. Creating stunning interiors using natural materials has never been more fashionable or more affordable!

One of the most cost effective window treatments are blinds made from bamboo or wood weave materials. These have been on the market for many years as a cheap, yet effective way of covering windows. Without sounding too philosophical bamboo is one of the oldest know methods of covering openings/windows to reduce heat and stop prying eyes from looking inside people's homes.

In the 'seventies' bamboo blinds were in-vogue and where used to create natural looking interiors at affordable prices. The return to being 'closer to nature' and being 'green' has once again seen this type of blind to regain popularity as a cost effective method of providing window dressings either on their own or used in combination with curtains as no longer are they seen as a cheap and only used by students they have become common place in traditional and modern homes.

Nowadays, wood weave or bamboo blinds are used in conservatories and summer houses as an effective way to help reduce heat build-up, along with bringing nature inside the home.

This is a cheap way to achieve the stain glass windows-look popular during the Victorian period.

Some of the main things you should try to achieve with the Victorian interior decorating style are: • If your room has a fireplace, use ornate brackets and use a white marble mantel if you can afford it. Giving a feeling of abundance while avoiding clutter is the key to a successful Victorian look. However it is important not to overdue this. This is why the Victorian style uses a lot of decorative items.

It is impossible to create a Victorian interior design without knowing what its various elements are. It is quite common for people to try to create a Victorian look in their homes without actually knowing what its characteristics are.

This style, which has its roots in the Victorian Era, can be easily created in a home, without the need to hire an interior designer. One of the most attractive and popular interior design styles is the Victorian style.
