ideas for home decor

Home decor is used to create many effects. Sometimes we want to beautify our homes and at other times, make it look bigger or smaller. If you had a small room and wanted to make it look bigger, there is a simple decorating trick to make an apartment living room appear like a banquet hall.

You have to understand that rooms look small because you have your home decor in the wrong places. Move the non-decorative items to the background and keep the decorative ones in the center of the room or at conspicuous points. Living room accessories have a calming effect and will make the room look smaller. Again, make sure that the pieces are in alignment – symmetry makes things look bigger.

Don’t put decorative pieces in the way of visitors. Move them to spacious areas. Once they are out of the way, passages will be enhanced with the effect that the room becomes bigger. Again, buy home decor objects that are tall instead of broad. Broad furnishings take up more space and will make the room look small.

Lighting can affect how big or small rooms look like. Dull or dark lighting will make the place look cozy and big. Bright light will produce a harsh effect on the room and make it look congested.

Avoid contrasting colors in your home if you want to make your room look bigger. Let the colors harmonize. For example if you have red sofa, you can go for purple or maroon curtains to match.

Choose plain, light curtains for your home decor. They tend to make the room look freer and spacious. They will be easily swayed by the wind and will create an impression of roominess.

have you thought about decorating your toys? There are stick-on jewels and things like that — if you decorate the toys, then you want a kind of “museum” look to display your things. I’d choose a cold white color, with black or white shelves, and little pops of whatever jewel color predominates.

If you like the look of plain techie toys, go with white or black walls, black or white shelves (opposite), and display your toys on them, with books on alternate shelves. “Pop” the color with a bright red (like a red vase of white flowers, or other red accent items). You’d want low-key coloring for the floors.

On the other end of the scale, there’s always the “New England Trader” look, which would be rich turkey reds and deep blues, with an oriental carpet, and the tech toys taking pride of place on the knick-knack shelves. You can use a trunk to store your junk and hide some of the wires.
