Home Decor

Oh, the fun that can be had doing home decor additions! Redecorating can add that personal touch to the home or to an office space.

Feeling some trepidation about this task? Browse the internet or walk through an art show or gallery to gain inspiration.

Home decor can manifest itself in many fashions. Furniture and window coverings play an important part in how the theme will pan out for that space.

Textures of those things along with the core colors will also need to be taken into consideration. The fun begins after the key factors are taken into account. Paintings, sculptures, vases, and miscellaneous artifacts can be added to change a simple setting into something personal and comforting.

Paintings are a great way to incorporate color into the office or home. The genre of art will enhance what is already available and will bring a wonderful cohesion of style, color and mood. When looking for a painting, decide if it is to create a specific theme, or if it is to just bring together the mood of the space.

A sitting room may require something to take the atmosphere into a more relaxed state. A business office may need something powerful and commanding.

A bedroom might crave rich color for affectivity. A simple addition of a painting can change the entire feel of the rest of the home decor that is in that room.

The soft strokes coupled by the vivid colors of an Impressionist painting will brighten any room. Contemporary art is expressed as either literally or symbolically, and is most often outrageous in content and sometimes even confusing.

These are great pieces that will invoke conversations. Futurism is an artistic philosophy of modernization.

Many are of sterile coloring, bordering metallic with a heavy emphasis towards geometric shapes. They can often been seen in a business office or professional setting.

Sculptures are another great way to tie in a painting to the rest of the room. A modern, Asian styled room may have deep rich colored woods, stream lined furniture, and clean, crisp colors.

A well placed sculpture will add that extra personalized touch. Express personal taste with home decor. Take a wood carving or a glass art piece and exhibit it in a way that symbolizes the personality of the room.

These items can have great intimate meaning to the owners. What better way to share with others than to place one or more pieces that are representational of the individual within that room. A flower filled vase or unique candle holders and plates are another great tool for adding a special touch to any space.

Home decor should affect the individual in a positive way at any given time. Favorite colors, fond memories, and trinkets from places visited can really take a four walled room to a place of feeling comfortable, inspired, or festive.

Search everywhere on the internet and the dominant factor will always be color. Depending on the functionality of that room will ultimately determine what color grouping needs to be incorporated. A Zen feel can be accomplished with soft earthy shades, a variety of wood tones and the addition of a few art pieces placed strategically around the room.
