Using A Favorite Picture To Inspire Living Room Design

Thu, 7th May 2009


Once you have selected your subject and your hues, you can use your inspiration piece as the center of attention for your room. A larger painting can hang solo creating a focal wall. Midsize paintings can be combined with other pieces to finish a focal wall. For example, if your inspiration picture is a beach scene, you may choose to fashion your focal point as a large shelf holding the wall decor along with other nautical items like seashells and a vase filled with a sea grass display.

Using your Inspiration Artwork as a Focal Point

One other method to use your inspiration artwork to design your living room is to use the subject matter of the painting as the foundation for your room’s design. For example, a vineyard painting may move you to design your living room in a Tuscan style, or an beach painting may inspire you to create a nautical theme in your living room. If you pick your color palette and your theme from your inspiration painting, they will blend amazingly well giving your living room’s design a very polished, designer look. Since you are selecting colors from your painting for all of the elements in your room, all of your décor will be flawlessly coherent making your living room look like it was designed by a professional. While you are using tones from your painting throughout you living room design, you can also employ patterns and plants to pull your look together. For example, if you have a cactus in your desert painting, then bringing in a cactus in your room’s décor is a great way to unify your design.Pulling Out the Theme

By using a painting for your living room’s new lay out, you will not have to worry about choosing a color palette. As you look at your inspiration painting, use the principle hue as your living room’s main accent color. Then think about the other hues in the painting, so you can pick out a couple more for your decor. Have one of these other two colors a light neutral color to use as your wall color, and then you can make the other color the next accent color to increase depth and interest into your room design. So, especially if you are not really skilled at pulling complementary colors together, selecting your color palette from an inspiration decor is a fabulous technique to pick a coherent and attractive color palette.Hues that Blend Well Together

Every memorable design needs a little of the unexpected, and your living room is without exception. Having a physical referral that you can use throughout your design ideas, makes the whole design activity easier. By picking a canvas painting that you already love to design your living room around, you are aware the colors complement each other, so you can probably make truly inspired color choices than you normally would for your design.

Lawn And Garden Decor

Sat, 2nd May 2009


An ideal garden décor is one that will help you to relax and rejuvenate so bear in mind to choose items that suit and calm you. The concept seems simple enough but it can be trying when you actually get in the task of blending them in. The way you go about decorating your interior can be applied to outdoor areas as well. In excellent garden design, always think comfort and suitability on top of blending in.

Just like in any decorating idea, you always integrate ideas and items that you love in your lawn and garden décor with color an essential consideration. Other than getting the right color, try to include flowers, painting and lawn furniture that blend in aside from what is necessary. Adding in small collectibles for instant antiques, shells and bottles can enhance the look and beauty of your garden.

Color in your garden can add warm and calmness to your lawn and garden décor. To add zest and liveliness, you can consider old bench, a weather-beaten set of wicker or by throwing in a bright rug on top of colorful pillows. Experiment with contrasting colors and patterns and even mismatched pillow sizes.

For those who relish whiling the night away at their garden, then you have to consider lighting. Outdoor lighting done right can add a glow to your garden in addition to offer warm and relaxation. Try to put up old lanterns, old tins or mason jars as they are just right for the garden.

Hanging a big candle in one of those attractive containers with suitable wire can add to a delightful lawn and garden décor. The ambience looks great with paper or fabric lanterns and aside from being inexpensive, they light up the garden.

Another major consideration is the type of garden chair to provide comfort. Certain lawn furniture may be uncomfortable, so why not try using indoor furniture? Mix and match with couches and old recliner as they can look great outdoor through delightful cushion covers and fabric. For these types of old and beaten-look furniture, you can source them from garage sales.

You don’t have to get too worried about matching as in interior furnishing as some old furniture thrown together can provide the garden with unique look providing they are comfortable. In delightful lawn and garden décor the look is distinctly different provided that you have all the essential items like garden lounge, table and lighting.  Anything that is made of wood will look great for your lawn and garden décor aside from stone.
