Consider applying wallpaper to only 50% of a wall. Redoing an entire wall isn’t necessary and can cost far more than it needs to. If you want to reduce your outlays, only apply wallpaper to 50% of your wall. Add a bold border to the edges of your wallpaper, then paint the remaining of the walls. This is a easy way to make you home look stylish, and you will also save money in the process.
When considering a fresh coat of paint for your home interior, look before you leap! You may soon realize that the color you chose isn’t that great.

Design a collection. A collection consist of three or more items that belong to a single category. For instance, three vases make a collection of vases. Three pictures makes up a collection. Create a display of your new collection so you have something to talk to guests about.
Get rid of clutter and gain space. Try getting nice storage for things that would normally clutter your room. Whether it’s boxes to put extra toys in or a filing cabinet to clear up paperwork, keep items off the floor. A simple box stored in the corner of a room will free up space used up by items scattered throughout the room.
Whenever you need to fresh up one of your rooms with some paint, try painting your ceiling a shade of “ceiling white.” This type of paint is a high-gloss shade with a design that is meant to reflect light. The paint will result in much more light in whatever room you use it in.
If you have a lot of items, keep walls simple. Some people tend to keep way more things than others. If you do not want to puts your decorations into storage, do not put much on your walls. Having anything else up can make the rooms look cluttered.
You should not be afraid to make your basement into a living space. This part of a house tends to be the most gloomiest and darkest. It can easily be brightened using paint, some strategically placed lamps, and mirrors to reflect the available light.
If you’re going to be hanging up some artwork, make sure that you don’t hang it too high or too low. As a reference, try and hang all artwork about 8 or 10 inches above the height of your couch.
You can brighten up any room by painting the drab clay pots of your ordinary houseplants with unique designs. Children might enjoy decorating a few and using them to hold things like toys and other items.
If you have decided to hang up some sconces in whatever room you are decorating, you should think about how close you are hanging it to the focal point. You do not want to place them to close to a mirror or window. This is dependent upon how large the mirror is so you should consider that while hanging them.
Books can add a touch of sophistication to your home office or living room. This setup may add sophistication, regardless of whether you choose to add one encyclopedia or a whole library inside. You need to ensure that the colors of your bookshelf items go with your color scheme.
Mix odd objects that are not so “matchy matchy”. For instance, zebra print pillows can make paisley chairs look more whimsical. Even draping a blanket of a clashing color over your sofa can make a strong statement. If you put some crazy things together, you will be unique and have a fun look.
