subject: Home Decor: Essentials For Dressing Up Your Home [print this page] It's true that we can tell a lot about the person through her home. Personality is seen in the design and decorations. Outgoing people have more bold colors and flashy accessories while the more reserved ones have subtle colors and minimal decors.
Decorating becomes easy by using things that interest you. Going for a favorite color or theme doesn't require much of a brain work, especially with the usage of home decors. You can even showcase your collections. It will save you the added expenses for purchasing decorations. Common collectibles are books, magazines, china and silverware, antiques and paintings.
Accessories are a very important part of any decor. Accessories not only add an aesthetic value, but they also can be quite functional. It was necessary for my friend to add the area rug he found to maintain functionality. Because he has Cerebral Palsy and has difficulty standing, especially for long periods of time, it was necessary for him to cushion his floor. By using the area rug to pad the most used areas of his kitchen he was able to ease some of the stress on his legs, while not losing the look of his beautiful laminate flooring.
Another perfect example is area rugs. For many homeowners, area rugs are necessary decorations for making their rooms look well-coordinated. The colors are further highlighted, the theme more obvious and the design enhanced. Moreover, area rugs are floor coverings that shield the floor from stain, dirt and scratches. Your home interiors become a complete work of art, with decorations from wall to floor level, all well put together.
Accessories are equally important in every room of your home. Every living room needs a great coffee table, just as every bedroom needs a fantastic armoire or chest of drawers. Luckily, like area rugs, these items can be found to meet nearly any decor.
Next time you redecorate remember that the essential aspect of every decor is your personality. If you do not follow your instincts you will not be happy with your new design. Try to pick a theme you are familiar with and build on it. You will be much more satisfied with the results, than if you simply throw together a look.
