Extend the color: Colors are one of the most important elements in the decoration of a house and gives harmony, co-ordination and endless possibilities to a space.

Generally, a space has three main colors in descending proportions: a main color, secondary color and an accent color. Repeat the accent color in all parts of your environment in different ways (repeat at least three times) with a few strategically placed objects.

For example, put a red decorative throw and pillows on the couch, a rug decorated with touches of red on the floor, then add some red candles to the fireplace or frame your paintings in red to draw some of the accent color up onto the walls.

Finding a theme for your project is creative and enjoyable! A good theme will say something about yourself and your interests and will greatly simplify your decorating decisions when shopping.

Say your theme is Mediterranean decor, minimalistic decor, tropical décor or cabin decor, in each case the objects you choose will be basic enhancers in creating the look you want.

For example, you can easily create an “Old European” theme by adding some colorful glazed bowls, an oil painting (or print of one), simply adding a small chandelier or perhaps changing the wall color to tones of rich or soft pastels, or both.

The home is also a wonderful place to reflect the seasons with different holiday decorations. Have fun decorating with fall palates of oranges, browns reds and ocres, or let your living room be reborn with fresh cut flowers and fresh, bright colors for spring.

The fireplace: Yes, not everyone has one, but if you do, it is often the most important architectural element of a space and therefore the center point. Fireplace accessories including fireplace screens and tool sets come in a variety of shapes, sizes and themes to suit your taste.

Candles can make a unique design statement anywhere, but your fireplace is the perfect place to also use them – especially during summer. Add candles of different heights, colors and textures.

When decorating your mantel, bookcase or shelf, always do it with an asymmetrical arrangement of an odd number of decorative items like vases, in a range of scales and textures.

Refresh with floral decorations:

floral decoration – from wreaths and silk flowers, to silk plants and fresh cut arrangements can bring a fresh perspective to your space and really make it come alive.

You can easily integrate your flowers and plants with any theme, whether it is adding a terracotta pot for Tuscan flair, tropical silk flowers or plants for your island theme or fresh cut lilies to welcome spring with both an eye-catching centre piece and a lovely fresh fragrance.

A single tulip in a simple ceramic vase on a mantle can have as much impact as an overflowing silk flower arrangement that adorns the dining table. The key is to add that little burst of color and vibrancy.

Decorate the walls: Pretend that your walls are a blank page, regardless of the color of paint. There are many items to decorate your walls, from paintings and posters to shelves, tapestries, sconces and boxes which make it difficult to know where to start. Remember to put your theme or style as the ordering principle.

Acrylic display shelves, highly fashionable posters, reinforce a modern style, while black and white pictures in wooden frames can create a sense of antiquity. To unify a group of pictures, frame them in similar frames.

Synchronize your wall art in relation to the size of the wall and furniture. The landscape paintings and posters with images of a scene open a small space and create “a window outside”, as do mirrors. Whereas modern art works well in wide open spaces and bring you “in”.

Simply use them as inspiration. Trust your instincts, taste and natural style. Choose a tiffany lamps. Are you attracted to the clean lines and geometric shapes of modern minimalism? Or do you prefer a haven of bamboos, orchids and dark wood of quiet Asian Zen? Listen to what your heart says and follow your instincts!
