Bo Tian’s home.

Antique Chinese cabinet,

The retro style is a great way for you to redo the decor in your home. This style is now becoming almost as popular as when it first came about in the past decades. The retro style itself is full of some unique looks, and colors that are bright and bold. With influences coming from the 50’s all the way into the 70’s. Changing your decor that is dull into this style that is full of colors and textures can make a room lively and warm.

Retro has to be one of the easiest styles to change over too. It’s a great experiment in adding accessories that are funky looking and have a fantastic design. With retro the main idea is to add in things that you would normally think are too out there in your other styles. Additions of textures are another great way to bring in the retro! Add some great area rugs, throw pillow and even change the cushions on your couch to a fantastic bold design. (via: articledirectorycentral.com)

Asian interiors are designed to bring peace, balance, and serenity to the space, which is kept simple and uncluttered. The quality and craftsmanship is exquisite. The style is merging with western style to create a unique Asian-influenced decor.

Chinese interiors are known through the wonderful carved furnishings like hand painted designs on glossy finishes, brightly colored accessories and ornaments. Red is the most used color because it is the sign of good luck. Chinese interiors are bold with their bold colors that are used to accent the room. The bright bold colors only enhance the dark wood tomes and high gloss finishes are combined for a dramatic theme. These types of rooms are also known to have large murals with cultural scenes. They are often from the characters and legends known from China’s history. (via Ezilon.com Articles)

French Country Decorating Ideas- French Antique

admin — Tue, 26 May 2009 06:15:15 +0000

French country decorating is one of the most popular forms of country decorating today.

Antique red bathroom cabinets.

French country decorating need not be expensive or difficult, and you don’t need to go out and purchase a whole new room. It is easy to introduce touches of the French country style without changing your entire decorating scheme. You don’t have to go out and buy all new furniture, but for a great French country look, you should have some antique looking painted pieces.

French Style Wall Painted Decor
September 2nd, 2007 ·

Love the French style of room decor? I do. Powder blue walls trimmed with pink roses and blue green leaves, gilded furniture are classic looks and never go out of style. Do something special in adding dimension to your walls with simply a stencil of your choice, a bucket of fixall or whipped stucco and [...]

Dining room and the kitchen

Details are important in the French countryside…add trim to your draperies, dress up your throw pillows with ribbon, buttons, or even old beads and jewelry, and make sure comfort abounds in soft throws and well read books.

Corridor

Anything with hand painted stenciling or chippy or aged paint will do. If your cabinets are tired, try repainting them with a worn look as this can be much less costly than buying new ones and will do wonders for the room. Decorative accessories are vital to pulling your French country style home décor design theme together. You can totally change the appearance of your room by simply replacing the accessories!

Kitchen

If you are decorating with a French country design style, try installing a painted or crystal chandelier with crystal lamps or scones and be sure to avoid anything that is too modern with straight lines. How you dress your windows also effects your French country style home décor look.

5 Tips for Decorating with Vintage

Buy what you love.

Your home should be pleasing to your eye. You have to live there. If you don’t love your decor, you will not feel comfortable in your own home. If you love that moose head, use it!

Don’t be afraid to mix wood tones.

The 1957 Better Homes and Gardens decorating book reminds us that wood is a color. This doesn’t just apply to vintage, but vintage furniture that was meant to last was made of wood. Check for tones in the wood grain that may be complimentary to one another.

Be patient. Shop often.

My furniture did not come home with me in one weekend. That’s one of the luxuries of buying new – you can get a catalog looking living room in one shopping trip. But in order to achieve decor with character, you may have to be patient for the right piece to come along. Check your local thrift store, flea market, and even Ebay, often.
Mix it up.

True design comes from mixing unexpected elements, colors, and textures. With vintage furniture, you run the risk of looking like you live in a time warp – same goes for vintage clothing. Don’t be afraid to mix decades, vintage and modern, and shapes. I tied the straight and rounded lines of my dining room together with a really inexpensive ceiling lamp at IKEA – it has a straight wooden base with rounded white plastic light shades – a perfect blend of both lines in the room.

Don’t be afraid to re-purpose.

The goal of decorating with vintage is two fold – owning quality constructed pieces and creating a one of a kind look. If you happen to find a fabulous dresser, but have no room or need for one, try re-purposing it as a storage credenza in the living room. Or use a telephone stand as a holder for remote controls.

Giving Life to Vintage Decor

Sometimes, people find it hard to let go of their vintage décor and want to save it for as long as they can. Some would even bring them to antique stores and have them restored to its original form or color. In addition, vintage décor with a little bit of creativity will look great as a metal wall décor. You can lay out all the pieces in your bed or table and then try to think on how would arrange them.

Once you finally decided on how the design will come about, the next thing to do here to glue them together. Let the piece rest for a few hours before finally hanging it or placing it in your desired location in the area. It is nice if you put such in an area where many people usually stay. The living room would be one of the perfect places for you to put it. People might even ask you where you got it and seem to be interested in purchasing one too.

Another thing that you can do to give back the life of the vintage décor is to give them a paint job. It does not matter if the paint you will spray or brush on it is the same as its original color. You can always have fun with the materials, as you will turn them into a metal wall décor. You do not have to be an interior decorator to come up with an exquisite décor. Just keep in mind that you are a creative person and a little inspiration can go a long way in the world. You have to know how to do things for them to come out the way you want them too.
