Interior Design — This Minimalist Home Is Surprisingly Family-Friendly

Decoupage is a true art form that’s perfect for all of your home accessories and decor. This great arts and crafts project creates a complicated look that’s not really all that complicated. Small pieces of cut out papers from magazines, tissue paper and even gold leaf can be used to layer decoupage into any design you like. After the pieces are attached to your favorite decor item, a few layers of decoupage lacquer are applied to the surface. This not only seals in the cutouts, it also makes it appear that the design is one smooth piece like a photo or drawing. Use this guide to decoupage and you’ll be on your way to getting an affordable and adorable design on any home decor item in your home.

Bamboo linens are the ideal green fabrics, coming directly from nature and returning completely to nature at the end of their usefulness. Bamboo is grown in pollution-free areas, and no chemical pesticides or fertilizers are needed in the growing process because bamboo thrives without the use of pesticides. Bamboo is a variety of grass which grows as tall as some large trees, but it grows four times faster than trees, making it very renewable and sustainable. The natural cellulose fibers are 100% biodegradable and are naturally anti-bacterial.

A lot of ‘home improvement’ shows concentrate on making your house look like a ‘show-home’, stylish but lacking personality, style and comfort. A house as a show piece to be admired. I see a home as somewhere to build your future and celebrate your past and present. My suggestions are low cost or free but, I feel, really make a difference.

I love everything about books… the way they feel in your hand, the colours of the spine, the knowledge or mental voyage they take you on, the way they look grouped together both visually and conceptually, the ability to stack them to display other objects or to be used as furniture and most importantly, the sense of magic they give a room (each book has its own world within). Books have a power that when used in your Design, can give a grounded and deeper perception to your interior space and environment.

I am going to give you a sprinkling of ideas and items that you can add to your interior, to give it that world of difference and uniqueness, and hopefully get your creative juices going. I will describe ideas that you won’t see in your local furniture or department store, but will give your home a wow factor because they’re different, never seen before and most importantly they can be made or decorated by yourself. I won’t be touching on anything structural or building work of any sort, just purely giving you some exciting ideas to complete your interior decorating. I guess what I am saying you don’t have to be an interior designer to decorate your home!

I have been sticking wall stickers on walls for a while now and very nice they look too. No other home improvement product can compare in terms of impact for the money.

A living room is probably the most important places in your home. It’s the traffic hub of daily life, the location where all people come together, buddies, and loved ones, to gather and enjoy by just being in the company of one another. It’s also the most obvious place in the home, and the room, which is usually used by attendees visiting for the first time. For these purposes and more you must try to make this as appealing and comfy as you can.

Creative. Conceptual. Quintessential. Sexy. Unique. These are just a few words that can describe Lady Gaga, who was crowned the most powerful celebrity in 2011 (she even beat Oprah!). Gaga is known for her activism, inspiring a “Born this Way” campaign, she has a following of ‘little monsters’, and is even coming out with a clothing line with her little sister, Natali.

At least one third of your life is spent in your bedroom. It is where you prepare for your day and where you unwind at the end of the day. It is the most personal, intimate setting in your home, and should create a feeling of happiness and tranquility.

Men have always needed a place that they could call their own. When I was a kid, the men always hung out in the garage. In the garage, there was always a refrigerator full of beer (it didn’t matter which one of my neighbor’s house it was, there was always a refrigerator full of beer) and often times there was a TV set accompanied by a motorcycle or maybe a classic car.
