Hi gang, Rick here again with Bedroom Decorating Ideas with news and views from the decorating industry.

Home Decorating - A fun adventure

Owning your own home can be a fun adventure into the world of home decorating. Choose from an abundance of styles, looks, textures, fabrics, and colors. Use your home to accommodate your lifestyle. Turn the living room into a family room, the family room into a home theater and the spare bedroom into a home office. Here are more ideas to help you make the most of your biggest investment.

Painting Your Home

White is out. Think color, texture, and contrast. Mix colors to create a theme throughout your home. Savannah browns, beiges and sandy vanilla yellows, Jungle greens, browns and strategic bursts of orange or red like jungle flowers blooming at the canopy's edge. Buy small samples of color and experiment with your favorite hues to create your very own home decorating theme. Balance a dark color with a contrasting light color or white trim.

Drapery in your home

Throw away the venetian blinds and wooden slats. Use a combination of modern, lightweight fabrics, sheers, chenille, silks and velvets to dress up your windows. Don't be afraid to create two different styles in coordinating colors at opposite ends of the room. There are no rules any more for decorating with drapes. Let your home reflect your own creative style. There are endless possibilities with fabric, color, texture, light and contrast.

Functional Furniture

Furniture has two purposes. It is functional, and it also fills up the space. When you are buying functional furniture, such as seating, don't just buy a place to sit. Buy color and texture that enhance your lifestyle and help you pull together the decorating style you have used in your home. Think of sectionals that include storage spaces for organizing remotes, and holding drinks or coffee tables that contain extra drawers or bins that you can use for throw blankets or children's toys. Think of side tables that double as book shelves, book shelves that double as storage cabinets and storage cabinets that not only hold a lot of stuff, but look beautiful into the bargain.

Wall Hangings for your home

Use art work to express your fine taste, tapestries, embroideries or throw blankets to cover blemishes in walls and paintwork, and photos to personalize your space. Frame keepsakes like tickets to a special show, a map of a favorite vacation spot or a far-off place where loved ones live. Keep cuttings from favorite birthday cards from special people and make a collage for your entry way. Little things like this in your home bring a personal touch to your decorating style that only you could have come up with.

Home Decorating to add beauty to your home

If you think form, fun and function every time you think of home decorating it will always be easy to add to the beauty of your home whenever you are ready to paint the next wall, replace an old sofa or buy a fine piece of art for your walls.
