Home Decorating Ideas?
My Fiance and I recently purchased our first home together, but I’m having serious trouble when it comes to decorating it. I have the kitchen, dinning room, and guest bedrooms taken care of, but I am completely stumped when it comes to decorating my living room and master bedroom. Both the living and the master are neutral colored, earth tones, with a beige/off-white carpet, so I was hoping to stay in the more neutral color pallet with accent pillows for color? I don’t like the really plushy look, and my Fiance and I both want a more modern/contemporary look/feel, but neither of us want the metal frames. I guess a sleek look? Young maybe? We don’t want our friends coming over feeling like they’ve walked into Grandma’s house. For our bedroom we really wanted a ‘zen’ theme. Simplistic, Asian-style, blacks with red accent maybe? We’ve an opening above the door leading from the master bedroom to the master bath that we’d like to play off of. (It looks like those arches at Japanese temples).
Any suggestions on how I can decorate these two rooms? Wall art, furniture, bedspreads, etc.
Ideas for wall art….?
I have big empty walls in my living room. I don’t want to fill them up for the sake of just filling up empty space but I’m getting sick of looking at bare walls. Prints and metal wall art makes me want to gag since those are painfully common things to hang. I have a very eclectic style so any suggestions would be welcome (but I am NOT artistic so making my own wall art would be unrealistic). Thanks for any suggestions! =)
What's the name of this fastener?
On one end is a hole for a screw to go in. It makes a loop (half-circle) and has a hole on the other end for a screw. I want to attach a metal art insert into a niche in my living room, but the art doesn’t have any holes in it, so instead I want to attach it with a smaller piece of metal (the fastener) that goes around an edge and attaches to the wall on either side. I hope this makes sense. Thank you.
Can anyone give me a good source to find?
Butterfly home decor. I am looking for framed art, metal or wood wall decor and the like. Something that would look nice in a hallway or living room. No children’s or teenage decor.
Thanks!
What color wall paint goes with brown furniture, golden brown carpet and burnished gold metal wall art?
I just bought a new chocolate brown microsuede sofa and love seat in dark cappuccino wood. The carpet in the house is golden brown. And I found this beautiful burnished gold metal wall art at an estate sale last weekend.
I am planning on painting my living room.
But I cannot paint it in reds or dark colors since the room is not very large. And I don’t want the room to be too brown. So what is the best color that would bring out the best in my new furniture and wall art? Would a neutral color work? How about a color like Sherwin Williams ‘Frangipane’ (http://www.buyaurapaint.com/sw-6645.html)?
Thanks
