subject: Decorating Interior Design Ideas [print this page] Home decorating has been a popular trend for as long as people have been settling in caves and drawing on their walls. How you choose to decorate your home is of course a matter of personal taste, but there are guidelines that can be followed if you are wondering about where to start when you want to give your home a uniformly decorated look.
The most important part of any home dcor is that it happily and comfortably reflects the people that live there. If you live in a home filled with children and a husband, there are typical assumptions made based on stereotypical but often true ideas about how houses are typically decorated. Usually in a family with a mom and dad and kids, the mother does the majority of the decorating. It starts whenever the couple moves in together. The woman usually begins to slowly eradicate any possible traces of the furniture that belonged to the man in the relationship prior to her arrival.
Here are a few design tips. In most cases, the men of the house do not care about decorating. This is not a sexist comment, and it is not by any means always true, and it doesn't mean that because a man doesn't want to decorate himself that he doesn't appreciate having a nice place to live. It is a typical occurrence though, that most men are fine with their wife picking out the sheets for the bed without them.
They may not want to paint the living room pastel pink in a lot of cases either, but some don't even notice that. It is all a matter of degree. If your husband would like to have a space that is comfortable for him to sit and watch television or whatever he likes to do in it and you do not have to go in there if you don't want to, it will usually end up being a tribute to his favorite sports team and incorporate a TV and couch and maybe a bar if there is room
For houses with more than a few floors in them, there are many options. In a typical multi-floor house built in the last 20 years, the usual floor plan includes a finished basement with an attached garage. This is often the favorite place of the men in the family. The rest of the house is also up to the person that spends the most time in each room.
Decorating a home can be a fun family affair. Often a uniform style will almost naturally occur based on the rhythm of the family living there. Comfort and ease of use are key when raising a family in a home and the decoration will usually reflect that.
