Home Decor Ideas

The bathroom is a great place to begin spicing up or remodeling. In fact, many homeowners can remodel without ever hiring a designer. All the homeowner needs to do is look though home decor magazines for ideas. There are so many bathroom ideas that take no time at all and can be budgeted within the homeowner's reach. All it takes is imagination and the determination to see your bathroom the way you have always envisioned it.


Let's say you like a beach themed bathroom. The first thing to do is paint the walls an ocean blue or sea foam green color. If you want, the top portion of the walls can be ocean blue and the bottom portion can be sea foam green. Then, where the two colors meet, add an armchair railing.


That always finishes the look at makes the room look more beachy. Now, add paintings or pictures that are beach related with matching towels, accessories and possibly a solid colored shower curtain.

If the shower curtain is solid, the bathroom accessories have more of a chance to be changed out more often. Other colors like light tan or brown can be added to the bathroom too. These colors are found in nature so why not incorporate them.

The bedroom is another great room to spice up or remodel. The bedroom should be a retreat from the everyday. This is especially true if you had a long day at work or just want to get away from all the stress. If you like a spa feeling, that can be incorporated by painting the walls a pastel blue or purple. These colors always bring peace and comfort. Now, when adding window coverings, add a puffy cream colored valance window treatment with a matching cream colored roller shade. All these colors bring comfort and peace.

Now, add accessories like a water fountain, bamboo plant, candles and statuettes.

Decorating any room is all in the eye of the beholder. Any room in your home can be spiced up or remodeled at little or minimal cost to you, the homeowner. This is true especially with home decor items made to look like the real thing.
