Home Designs Ideas

Are you all set to launch your home remodeling project? Here are 10 interior design ideas to expand your horizons and help you on your quest.

Color Me Beautiful

Break out of the white, off-white, and beige, and let some color in your life (and on your walls)! Hit Designer Dave Bromstad, winner of HGTV Design Star and host of HGTV’s new show, Color Splash, is big on color. “I think brown is a great color because it looks great in a lot of combinations: brown and yellow, brown and blue, brown and orange. It’s been hot for the last five years and will continue to be hot. Whites and blues are also big, and you can make a big impact with reds and oranges,” says the rising star. But he also cautions to not be too matchy-matchy. If you decide to go for red walls, there is no need for a red comforter on your bed!

Rock the Casbah

Morocco design friendly, warm, cheap and relatively easy to pull together, all wonderful qualities for those interested in Moroccan style home decor. “Moroccan styles are timeless,” says interior designer Vanessa De Vargas. Morocco is known by the works of such handmade carving doors and columns, hand-woven carpets, elaborate painted ceramics, lanterns, leather goods and silver tea sets. Warm color palette, but cool. Earth tones combined with various shades of blue and pink are common, as well as textures and patterns.

A modern version of Moroccan style is popular in the United States because it successfully takes classic Moroccan-design motifs, materials and styles and give them a fresh spin. Traditional Moroccan design is more severe and more decorative.

Back to Nature

Use indoor plants to bring nature into your home!

During the 1970s, there was a new appreciation for the great outdoors. The result included interior decoration macramé, redwood and anything in shades of oatmeal, green or brown. In accordance with the back-to-nature movement, the homeowners did what they could to bring the outside in. Although the days of green and brown printed wallpaper are long gone (or so we hope), plants and flowering plants are still popular in interior design .

Wallpaper is Back!

Wallpaper has been getting some really bad press in recent years, while the solid wall of color and pattern seem hip and into the wallpaper is coming back, bigger and better than ever! Traditional block printed ‘paper’ wallpaper is not the only option. Cain wallpaper also available and will add a touch of luxury to any room. Other materials include those with metallic luster and papers that give the appearance of silk.

According to Karen Beauchamp from Cole & Son, we are exploring new ways to use wallpaper. Here are some suggestions about how to bring more patterns into your surroundings:

* Cover only one wall (the trendy, and you can be more adventurous).

Putting wallpaper on panels can be a great color addition to doors and cabinets. Choose a scale pattern, although with caution: if the space is too small and too large scale, the pattern will be lost.

* For the truly adventurous, add a twist on tradition by wallpapering the ceiling. This works very well with high ceilings, as in a period property.

Everybody Feng Shui!

Take mystic Feng Shui of the design and learn its practical uses. Decorating using these principles will help you create a simple, balanced living environment. Real Feng Shui is a very specific, and complex. The only way to do real good Feng Shui to be a student of this art, and with difficulty to learn a lot of the principals and nuances required, or to hire a professional to do an analysis and work on your house. However, Feng Shui does not teach us something very useful when decorating your home.

* Color: Note how the color that makes you feel. Colors are known to have a huge effect people’s mood and energy levels, but also very individual. You may type that comfortable with a dark color, while others may feel depressed. Colors also affect the nature of the interaction, and when you enter a new space you should always consider the way people behave toward one another. If there is a room in your home where people tend to enter into arguments, reassess the colors in the room. Bright or extreme colors can irritate people’s eyes and increase their metabolism, making them more likely to fight. Dark room can make people in a bad mood and make them lethargic.

* Flow: In traditional Feng Shui, the goal is to maximize the flow of positive chi in an area. Although you may not be able to detect the essence of the energy space, you can increase the sense of flow in a room by observing the way people and objects moving through space. Flow you want to achieve is the essence of the room. You want to have easy access for people who move through space, as well as in and out of it. You want the object to be moved from storage, into use, and returned without adding confusion. The flow of this type is a mixture of organization and design that focuses on removing blockages and allowing easy movement through every area.

Imperial Beds

Four-poster bed is the eternal in the bedroom design. To avoid heavy, new four-poster beds have thin posts, and cool enough to be considered modern. Since the four-poster bed is the most romantic bed, romantic design, soft, comfortable, and inviting, is highly recommended to accompany the traditional sleep this fantastic.

Classic White

The goal of creating a white monochrome elegant space is to feel peaceful, calm and sophisticated. In white in a white room, you have more freedom to do things differently. “Clutter is kept away, everything must be hidden,” says Ammie Kim, a Beverly Hills designer. All items or things that do not need the color to be removed. This is very sophisticated and minimal look.

Kitchen Freestyle

Since we spend more and more time in the kitchen and bathroom, there is away from all-or-not “fit” continuous timer display. Find more free-standing furniture or features with furniture-like quality. These details will not be fussy but will further the idea that the kitchen is a space to live in.
