Born to Decorate – Free The Mind, Decorate The Walls

Have you ever given a thought of using a darker color as the background for wall accents? It is just the white wall that comes to mind when we decide to decorate the wall. White is boring and requires a lot of cleaning to keep it spotless. I chose to try something different…a wall that is not white for my wall decor ideas.

The red wall and a gray wall were what I found to be ideal to hang frames, wall hanging or wall decoration. The dark color on the wall did make the room appear a bit smaller until I decorated it with wall decor. The wall hanging and accents gave the wall a depth and simply made it alive.

Here are a few home wall decor ideas that you can attempt:

Wall Decor Ideas

• Fabric on the wall – this is what I call a scribbler for grownups. A starched fabric with something written on it like writing in a notebook and pasted on the wall. This looks good right behind the sofa in the living room or the bedroom wall.
• Frames – mix and match frames and hang them on the wall. It can be the cozy corner, a niche or to create that feel. Use black and white pictures and break the monotony with red wall accents.
• Books – stack books all across the wall to decorate the wall. Fix stands like they display shoes in the stores. Stack books on them. In between hang wall decor or place a small artifact or decoration piece on the book.
• Chalkboard – a chalkboard is one of my favorite home wall decor. A huge chalkboard on the kitchen wall or the patio. This black canvas can be decorated with pictures, pin ups, hanging. Remember to keep some chalk and duster nearby for the ‘child at heart’ to scribble.
• Dark wall – hang white frames on a dark wall and put some lights on the ceiling. This looks good in alleys at home, making the path look wider.
• Clock – create a giant clock with wall signs on the wall. This is ideal for children’s room where you can put the signs that must teach something to your kids.
• Driftwood display – use driftwood with wall signs, frames for the earthy look.
• Hard top suitcases – I wonder if some of us do still have hard top suitcases? You can actually cut them and stick them into the walls to make shelves. I call it the vintage suitcase shelves.
• Corner frames – this one is my favorite. Hang frames or wall signs on the two walls that merge into a corner. Use all different sizes of frame. The trick is to create an illusion that the corner is extended. Do this by hanging maximum number of frames at eye level on both the wall. Taper at the top and bottom of this line so a triangle is formed by the wall joint being the bottom of the triangle.

Placemats – The Dinner Table Decor

The kitchen table is the focal point of our homes. The latest trend is the round kitchen table as most of the special needs are taken care of by this round table. Decorate this piece of art with round table linens.

Placemats are also called tablemats. Table cloths cover the complete table and may appear like a blanket on the table, placemats let you show off your mahogany or stylish table and create an intricate pattern by giving you the table surface as a blank canvas. Placemats for round table is the need of the hour.

Tablemats define the area for an individual at the table. A wide range of placemats are available online at various leading home decor portals. If you are artistic enough, you can create your own table mats from old scarves, curtains. You also have the option to use plantain and bigger leaves as placemats if you have access to home grown trees.

Cappuccino Braided Placemats

How to choose the right linen for your round table?

• Match the linen size with the roundtable.
• The size of the table determines the number of placemats required.
• Placemats are made from different materials, colors and patterns. Choose the ones that do not clash with the roundtable material.

Pointers for placemats :

Placemats are available in different shapes. Break the monotony of the round table with a rectangular placemat. Rectangular or square tables look classy with rectangular tablemats. You can use the round pot holders to keep the hot pot in the middle.
 

Always crease out the tablemats before placing them on the table. If you need to keep the placemats in place, it is a good idea to use blue-tack.

Woods Braided Placemats

You can place the placemats directly on the table surface or on the tablecloth. In either case, the placemat must contrast the base. For plain surface, use patterned placemats, while for patterned table surface the plain placemats looks elegant.

Using cotton placemats is a better choice as they can be easily washed and cleaned. Cotton tablemats give an elegant look to the table when compare with plastic or pvc mats. Straw mats look good if you live in the countryside or have a countryside theme.

Wine Or Raspberry – The Trending Color For Living Room Curtains This 2016

Window Treatment Ideas trending in 2016 :

White is the color of 2016, the ideal backdrop for you to decorate the window at home. For many white is not a color, for me it is the blank canvas to which I can add color and warmth to make the room look insanely beautiful with the right window treatment.

Apple Cider Prairie Curtain

The living room is the most important room in the house as the family and friends spend a lot of time here, be it a quiet evening or some celebration. The living room curtains are the key to a rich and luxuriant room. The windows are the eyes of the room, selecting the wrong curtain can make the room lose its charm.

Knowing a few simple tricks for selecting curtains will simplify the task of decorating the room. Do not think too much about the color or texture of the curtain in advance. Simply browse through leading home decor portals and find the right curtains that catch your attention. 100% cotton prairie curtains with lining are best suited for most rooms. Choose burlap wine or black curtains if the living room interiors are floral or decorative. If the room interior is simple then checked curtains like cider apple prairie curtain or navy or mustard color check curtains will add character to the room.

Burlap Black Prairie Curtain

Choosing the right curtain can sort out the light or dark problem as well. If the room is too lit, a dark color curtain will block that extra light from entering the room making it a cozy room. If the room does not get enough natural light, checked pattern curtains in cotton will serve the purpose by ‘illuminating’ the room.

The length of the curtain is dependent upon the function of the room. You may choose 72” curtains for the living room and bedroom windows or the shorter type like the window tiers for the kitchen and dining area to create an informal atmosphere.

With so many fabrics available in the market for curtains, cotton is my suggest fabric as it is easy to maintain, convenient to use and looks stylish as well. Decorating the curtains with headers like valances and swags add to the character of the room.

Tying the curtain is an art that can be developed by experimenting. The thumb rule is to tie the curtain at 2/3^rd from its bottom. You can experiment with where to tie the curtain, where it looks best. Use ties, ribbons or scarves to hold the curtains. Hanging tassels on the tie makes the curtain and the room look stylish.
