Surfer Motif Matchstick Blinds

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

I am not sure why I decided to go with a surfer theme for my child’s bedroom but in all honestly I think that it is really coming together. I have my husband’s old surfboard hanging up and I have a few shells and beach themed trinkets decorating the room nicely. The white blinds that I had in the room were nice but I think that I would like to exchange them for the Matchstick Blinds. It won’t cost very much money to do and it really will add a lot to the surfer motif that I have going in the room.

Bali Wood Blinds or Inexpensive Knock-off?

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

The choice between the expensive authentic and the inexpensive knock-off isn’t always an easy one. The graceful elegance of Bali wood blinds made of true American basswood makes the expense worthwhile for many. However for those of us who would rather buy cheap faux wood blinds to attempt to achieve the same look and feel to our decor there are several options that aren’t exactly of poor quality even if they are made of vinyl or some other material. If there is a more central focal point to your decor then it’s possible to get by with less.

Interior Design Can Give You An Empty Wallet.

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

When a new home owner or someone who is re-decorating decides to put a new look on their home, sometimes it can get pretty expensive. The most common mistake people make with their interior design is the fact that they will shop before they have planned out exactly what they want to do. They will go to the store and buy this item and that item just because they like the look of it and then when they get home with all of their treasures, they realize that there is no basic scheme to things and that they should have thought about the look before they bought the goods.  After all, interior design schools like the sheffield school of interior design are expensive - so it stands to reason interior design would be expensive, too!

Avoid heat by using Roman Blinds

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

 When my friend told me to use Roman Blinds to avoid a lot of heat entering my home, I thought it sounded clichéd to me.  He told me that it was Roman Blinds that did a similar effect in his home.  Unconvinced, I decided to give it a try.  I went over to the nearest showroom and bought over a set of Roman Blinds for my home.  I took the help of some laborers and installed it.  After one month, I have started recommending Roman Blinds to a lot of people.

Tropical Theme’s

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

<!– @page { margin: 20mm } P { margin-bottom: 2.12mm } –>

Tropical rooms, are ideal for beach side resorts. A Good tropical room should include the following:

Fans: Depending on the size of the room it should include 2 – 5 wooden fans.

Central air control: 1-2, again depending on the size.

Wooden walls: Must be of tropical wood, eg. Palm, or coconut timber.

Glass wall: one whole side of the room must be of glass/ this may include a door ( also must be of glass ).

Queen size bed: it doesn’t matter if your single, - you should have one any way, note: you should have only one large bed per room, or two small beds per room, the whole point of a tropical feel for a house is space, coolness and relaxation ! The house MUST be spacious.

White or black couches (recommend white for it increases the feel of space), depending on how many people are staying in the house, you should have 1 x double couch, 2 x single chairs, and more single chairs according to house population.

These are the main factors, and you should base the rest of your house according to these color and schemes. More schemes for tropical interior decorating  coming soon :D

Are There A Lot Of Options For Colors?

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I don’t really know a lot about discount furniture, or any furniture for that matter, since I have never really had the money to buy furniture new before. Are there a lot of options for colors and styles with discount furniture? Or is it just the ugly colors and styles that don’t normally sell? I think the only way we can afford to get all new furniture is if we get discount furniture. We would especially like to find a nice discount leather sofa, since we have both always wanted one. They are so comfortable and they really look nice.

Rugs On The Internet

Monday, August 4th, 2008

The internet is such a popular place to shop for anything and everything right now. Modern contemporary area rugs are no exception to this. Many shoppers, and even decorators, are finding the best selection and pricing is online. Unfortunately, this also brings forth the scams. If you are purchasing an area rug on the internet, you must make sure that it’s a real site, and not someone who will take your money, only to send you nothing. This can be seen in sites that have little to no information about their company, including a phone number available. Other reputable sites will offer much information, including the contact information needed for making a return.

Interior Design Ideas: The Right Colors For You

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Everyone has special colors they like best. It all depends or how you think and what a particular color says to you. You should take the colors that are in your decorative items and use them in your wall colors. You also need to take a look at the color wheel. Note what colors go together. You can always change a color if you think it is too dark or too light—you aren’t stuck with any of your initial interior design ideas. If you are decorating a house to sell, it is the consensus of most designers that you should choose neutral colors for your walls. Generally, a vibrant color, one that your may love, may not appeal to the buying public.
