Home Decorating Tips From Some Leading Ceiling Décor Gurus
Interior Decorating Tip
A simple tip for decorating dining rooms: if your cabinets are crammed
full, invest in a hanging rack for under the shelves, and slide your wine
and champagne glasses in for easy storage.
Decorating Entrance Tip
When decorating a cottage, the area around the front door often becomes
a catch-all for mail, shoes, keys, and everything the cat drags in, but
what you see when you enter the room sets your mood. A couple of nice
baskets or boxes – with lids – will do the job of hiding the
clutter.
Bed Canopy Decorating Tip
If your bed has a fabric canopy, try replacing it with another canopy in
a sheer voile fabric such as Laura Ashley’s Cottage Sprig Voile, available
from any home decorating magazine or through any interior design firm.
Interior Design Photos
Framed photos are a classic decorating mantel tip. Another good place for
your photos is on the staircase. As you go up and down, you find yourself
at eye level with the displays. If you put small photos in a large room,
they would be lost. But on a 3½-foot wide stairway, you get a close
look. It’s a great place to have collections.
Bath And Kitchen Decorating Tips
Need a vibrant window treatment for you kitchen or bathroom? Simply buy
a low-cost basswood shade and paint it a bright color. Other interior
decorating tips: paint your walls a vivid, sunny yellow and randomly paint
over some areas with a deeper yellow, a dark peach, and terra cotta. Paint
your cabinets with a few layers of paint using a dry brush.
Hippie Decorating Tips
Maybe a lava lamp won’t work so well for decorating nurseries, but
your teen will definitely love it. The lava lamp was standard décor
for any truly hip abode in the later 1960s. And just what the heck is
a lava lamp? It is usually a tall (around 22 inches) lamp made up of a
base which typically holds a 40 watt frosted appliance light bulb inside
a reflecting cone; a plastic top cap which serves to both hide the lamp’s
inner cap and the waterline, and the lamp or globe which is nowadays made
of borosilicate glass.
