White Living Room Designs

In a room that’s quite as busy as this one, choosing white as a background colour and for furniture and accessories will simplify and streamline the space. Add warmth simply with colourful blinds or cushions. Billy bookcases, Ikea

Whitewashed floorboards will instantly brighten a space; buy yours with this look, or give old boards a makeover with emulsion paint, brushed on lightly and wiped off, and clear varnish. White brushed pine planks, Quick-Step

If you’re sticking faithfully to an all white scheme, how do you decorate the walls? The answer is to frame black and white photos or prints in white frames. Grouping the frames makes a focal point. Room by The White Company

There are practical considerations when furnishing with white. Always, always get removeable furniture covers that can be machine washed. That way, your room will always be crisp – easily. Parchment Flowers collection, Sanderson

Even a plain room can be given bags of character with wall panelling – which you can buy in kits from DIY stores (or just use tongue and groove planks, fixed to battens). Painted white, or off white, completes it. Blinds by Hillarys

Interior Color Ideas – How to Choose Paint Color For Home

admin — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:00:12 +0000

Color decorating ideas, to me, are just that: ideas to be played with. Through experimentation you will soon learn that, yes you can use deep plum on one wall and a deep pink on the other three walls, with a terracotta carpet to finish. With white for the ceiling, coving, fitted furniture and door, the room acquires a warm, welcoming ambience that is a delight to enter. Take other color decorating ideas to achieve a different ethos: four walls decorated in mint green, with white ceiling and coving and doorway and a cream carpet. Enter this room and you are enfolded in a sense of total calm and harmony that is almost soporific. The only accent in this room is three long mirrors laid horizontally along the back wall. Nothing else, but the room speaks volumes in holistic tranquility. Now, if I were to ask you to imagine this mint green room as described and then leave the room. Imagine closing the door behind you. Next time you enter that room a black vase has been placed on a bedside table. Inside that black vase is a single red flower. At the window is a set of cherry red blinds. The bed is now made up with a black duvet cover and a cherry red bed throw at the end of the bed. The color decorating ideas have not changed but the accessories have – and so has the ethos of the room. Gone is that soporific element of tranquility: this has been replaced by a sense of modern chic. All that has altered are the accessories. This is how you take the basic principles of color decorating ideas and alter them slightly to achieve alternative moods for each room. When you understand the rules, color decorating ideas can become fun and successful and never something to shy away from.

Home Decorating based on your Color Personality

Confused about selecting color for your home? Why not try choosing decorating colors based on your unique personality? I decided to have a bit of fun and searched out several websites that discuss color personality types.

The Pratt and Lambert color quiz was the most comprehensive color personality test of all those I reviewed. Taking into account not only color likes but other factors that make you uniquely you. This test was the only one that returned a color scheme that was very similar to my personal decorating style. I was impressed. According to the Pratt & Lambert site my color personality:

Colors in this palette are reminiscent of a sunny seaside. These combinations are refreshing and invigorating. They provide sparkle with lightness while also imbuing a sense of soothing calm. Oceanic hues are ideal for making a bathroom, bedroom or study an oasis. These colors provide a balance for those with a hectic life. The person who decorates with these colors is looking for their home to be their escape.

Color Psychology

Perhaps many of you are contemplating new decorating and painting projects and perhaps aren’t aware of the impact that color has on our mood. Before you pick up that paint brush or roller, read through our color psychology information. It just might help you set the appropriate mood for your indoor space.

First Things First – Choosing a Color Scheme

Red packs a wallop, physiologically speaking, increasing blood pressure, heartbeat and energy in most people. It instills feelings of intimacy and passion. Red also increases the appetite, which explains why it is used so often in restaurants, and why it can be a good choice for a formal dining room.

Orange, like red, tends to warm a room, but in a more friendly and welcoming way. As a result, paints in various shades and tints of orange work well in living rooms and family rooms.

manolohome.com

Yellow is also warm and welcoming, but it is more attention- getting than either red or orange. For this reason, it is a good paint color to use in poorly lit foyers or dark hallways.

www.greatinteriordesign.com

Blue, which is part of the cool color palette, makes us feel calm and tranquil, so it is ideal for use in bedrooms. But since blue works as an appetite suppressant (perhaps because there are few blue foods) it is not the best option for a dining room … unless you’re on a diet.

blogspot.com

Green is another relaxing color that is much more versatile than blue. Light greens are ideal for bedrooms and living rooms; midtones are good for kitchens and dining rooms (many foods are green). Also, because green is calming, it is often used in hospitals, workplaces and schools.

www.interiordezine.com

Violet is a tricky color, psychologically speaking. Many adults dislike purples, but are fond of the rose family, which can work in many rooms, including dining rooms, bedrooms and libraries. Young children, on the other hand, respond favorably to violet, so this color can be used successfully in children’s bedrooms and play areas.

These general guidelines are a good starting point in your search for a paint color. But remember that color choice is a very personal matter. You’re the one who has to live with your new paint color, so choose a hue that suits you, your family and your lifestyle.

And after investing time to select just the right color, make sure it continues to look that way long-term by investing in a top quality paint. (via)

Decorating Ideas for The Winter

In winter, a different profile might go well with the mood. As the mercury level continues to slide down, freezing wind flows around, tress shade leaves and snow takes the control over roads and gardens, people start to feel low and depressed.

Try changing the interior design of your home to survive the winter blues. Take a special approach to decorate your home during winter. As nature goes grey and cold, it’s wise to pick a bright hue for your interior.

This is the best way to defeat the winter blues. Bring home colors this winter and see how your mood changes. Use bright colored upholsteries, curtains, bedcovers, pillows and vases. There should be colors everywhere. Get a colorful painting for the living room to liven it up.

If possible, paint the walls especially for winter months. Go through the color swatch and choose the brightest color that suits your taste. Those who cannot afford painting the walls can use wallpapers to make the walls colorful. All living room items starting from utensils to pelmets – everything should reflect colors.

Chocolate brown has erupted on the decorating scene and stayed around for a few years. It’s one of those cool paint colors that is actually livable. Pair bold chocolate brown walls with this season’s must have color like orange. You can also add chocolate brown to a nursery to make the room more modern and sophisticated. Dark brown will work well with either traditional blue or pink for a baby’s room. Use color trends to create a unique holiday decorating color palette like a brown velvet stocking hanging from the mantle. Pair it with traditional gold ornaments.

A cabinet or showcase to store all special china, glasses and cutlery can also be present in the dining room. Depending on the theme throughout your house, your dining room should encompass this design as well. If your home has been fashioned in a contemporary style, then the dining room should reflect that style choice. Depending on how your dining area is situated, it should either be an extension of your kitchen or living room.

It is important to make your dining room look beautiful, comfortable and inviting. This can be achieved in many ways and what will surprise most people is that it does not take an extravagant investment, only a creative mind. It also does not require an interior decorator to establish a warm eating area and if you are not overly creative (or simply do not feel like participating in the process), many ideas can be taken from décor magazines and books. The internet as well can yield many great ideas.

Dining room furniture is as varied as the families that use it. Your dining room furniture should reveal your personal style. Styles of dining room furniture can vary from traditional and classic to contemporary and retro. Although there are dozens of style to choose from, it is best if you stick with one style when furnishing the dining room. You can find dining sets that are sleek and contemporary, ornately traditional, or rough hewn and rustic. Do you want the dining room to have a cohesive feel with the rest of your home? If so, dining room furniture that coordinates with the architectural style of your house and the decor in your other rooms will achieve that affect. Of course, you can always add some diversity. For instance, a metal table usually looks contemporary, but choosing one with curved legs will add more formality to the room. If you want to mix and match, do so with caution. Although it is best to stick with one particular furniture style, it is best to create a beautiful and individually stylized dining room by combining various style choices. Just be sure you are aware of what may or may not coordinate with one another. Style choices are plentiful. You are sure to find one perfect for your own individual style. (via)

Decorating a small home or apartment can be a challenge but the outcome can be a great look combined with style and comfort. The key to a home decorating idea for small spaces is to plan carefully to make the most of the existing space without overwhelming the area.

Here are tips to consider before you get started with your home decorating ideas:

*Don’t make a small room seem smaller by filling it full of “stuff.” This means you might have to put away some of your knick-knacks and restrain yourself from buying additional decorative items. You will find an uncluttered home will provide more comfort and pleasure and make your home decorating idea a reality.

*Make your rooms multi-purpose. A child’s room can be a study or play room which will keep toys and activities in a confined space.
