HOME DECORATING
Tuscan is a popular Italian home decorating style. Like French country home decorating, Tuscan style is rustic and primitive. Furniture is fashioned in dark woods like cypress, pine and mahogany.
Favorite home decorating colors for upholstery, wall color and accessories are terra cotta orange, deep golds, olive green and dark tomato red. Floors are aged wood and in the kitchen marble and tile. Kitchen cabinetry is rustic wood with iron hinges and hardware. Decorating essentials are iron, earthenware and worn leather.

Home Decorating
Redecorating a room? Or just love experimenting with color and design? Our new Design a Room tool is the perfect place to unleash your inner interior designer. This innovative point-and-click design tool allows you to choose the style and type of room (living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and more) and change the Armstrong flooring, ceiling, walls, and cabinetry until your room design is just right.
retro decorating
What is retro style decorating? Anything from the past influences the wide variety of colors, textures, and objects of Retro. However, when concentrating on aRetro style theme, you should think décor from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. If you go back too far, you may hit the vintage era.
As you probably know, the 50s, 60s, and 70s were a time of lots of bright, vibrant colors and tons of different, exotic textures. Try using blends of green, yellow, red, and blue to create fun themes.
Southwest home
Living in the Southwest isn't a requirement for Southwest Style Decorating. Simple touches can give you the New Mexico or Arizona style to your home... even if you don't live near the Colorado River.
Southwest home decor and accessories are available at many big box stores... but what you really need to find is some great online resources. Did you know that a ton of online sellers actually import from Mexico... so we get great deals without having to travel to the interior regions of Mexico.
The use of copper wall decor has been of great interest lately, but copper accessories is never seen in true southwest style homes. Touches of copper is acceptable as an accent piece on a piece of furniture... but it should look handmade, not manufactured.

No one is trying to suggest that you take a big dumpster and throw away all the stuff that you own. Have a garage sale before you move for all the stuff you wish to not really carry along, but would still serve good for others. If you cannot find takers for something that is still in pretty good condition, feel free to donate. It will both help lift your morale and will make packing, moving and home re-decorating a lot easier for you. We are sure the guys at places like Salvation Army will accept such donations.
For starters, one of the most apparent trends in home design is happening outdoors. Courtyards -- both interior and front entry -- are in big demand. "Courtyards can literally transport you from a city street to a quiet calm even before entering the home," Hanford said. With outdoor fireplaces, comfortable seating and even soothing water features, courtyards are a simple but elegant way for home owners to make a great first impression.

minimalistic furniture - minimalistic interior
minimalistic furniture
minimalistic furniture
Tessa wrote us with a design dilemma hoping we could offer some help: “I am writing to you now with a problem of my own. We live in a beautiful 19th century mansion in Washington, DC. It is gorgeous and wonderful, but we rent it and are not allowed to paint any of the rooms. I am about to move into a different bedroom that is gorgeous, but painted one of my least favorite colors- burgundy.
minimalistic Bedroom
I hate burgundy! I tend to lean toward super bright hues (oranges, yellows, apple greens, etc.) when I decorate, and I am wondering (and hoping) that you guys might have some suggestions of what could possibly look good with this awful dark mess. Anything I have tried makes the room look like either a men’s smoking lounge or a cheesy Victorian salon. I haven’t seen you post many pics of burgundy rooms, so I thought you might have some cool ones hiding somewhere. Please help me out.”
minimalistic bedroom
It’s cool, it’s chic, it’s artsy and classic. In fact, decades after the “minimal look” first appeared on the design scene, it continues to be a favorite among designers, architects and homeowners. Minimal furniture (and the fewest number of knick-knacks possible) can do exactly the opposite of what you might imagine. Instead of drab and sad, a minimal space can look high-impact and dramatic. Architectural details and features suddenly pop out.

Light shines through. Somehow, an uncluttered space suggests abundance and affluence (or at least good taste) rather than paucity or scarcity. A minimal home is like a woman who resists slathering on makeup. She knows that no matter how beautiful she is, too much make-up will only call attention to the make-up, not her beauty.
minimalistic bedroom
Many of us already know this instinctively, and that’s what keeps minimalism so popular through the decades. But some of us who have accepted the philosophy of minimalism are grappling with a different question: how can we achieve a minimal look that still works for daily life? Can minimal be clean and chic, but cozy and comfortable too?
1. Choose furnishings with the utmost care. If you’re going for minimal, every piece of furniture you own has to be functional, comfortable AND beautiful. You can’t waste space with a chair that is comfortable and ugly, or with a sofa that is beautiful but uncomfortable. Every stick of furniture in your home must fulfill the twin requirements of function and beauty.

2. Don’t abandon decorative touches. Yes, a woman may wear minimal make-up but she’s usually doing herself no favors if she wears none at all. Small, carefully selected decorative touches can have a special impact in a minimalist space. A single painting, a dramatic houseplant, an interesting pendant lamp, a beautiful rug, can warm up a home without seeming overdone or cluttered.

3. Make use of built-ins. You love minimalism but you have plenty of books. How do you handle them? The secret: incorporate plenty of built-ins that can stand in for furniture. So if you have books, opt for built-in book shelves. If you love television but you don’t want a lot of audio-video equipment cluttering your home, think about a built-in projector. Built-ins can include dining nooks, window seats, built-in couches and chairs, and storage units. In the room above, built-in shelves provide a space for books without interfering with the pared down look of the room.
4. Go multi-functional. Everything in your home needs to do double-duty. A coffee table needs to function not just as a place to set a coffee mug, but as a storage unit for books, magazines or toys. A couch needs to function as seating, but also possibly as a bed for guests. Chairs should be light and mobile enough to function as seating for long conversations, or as theatre seating for television viewing. If furniture can’t serve more than one purpose, it shouldn’t be in your home.
5. Pay special attention to materials. It’s hard to fudge mistakes in minimal homes. For instance, we’ve heard of homes with beautiful concrete floors that can’t be cleaned without getting stained. That’s not functional or beautiful. So when you choose flooring, countertops and fixtures, make sure you choose resistant, hard-wearing materials that can stand daily wear and tear, because after all, not much can be swept under the rug in a minimal home.
6. Relax the rules, just a bit. Let’s say you’re afraid that a minimalist home will feel bleak and colorless. Well, feel free to break a few rules! Introduce colorful ethnic rugs in your space, or a fluffy flokati pillow. In the kitchen below, a few measured decorative touches — like throw pillows and house plants — counterpoint the crisp modern laminate cabinets. A few unexpected twists will make your decor feel fresh.
7. Tweak your home as time goes on. You may start off with a completely minimalist home, and find that over time, more treasured objects make their way into your space. Or you may start off with a cluttered home, and slowly eliminate unnecessary objects. Whatever tack you take, maintaining a home that really works is always a process calling for constant reevaluation: is an object worthy of bringing into your home? Will it serve a purpose? Is it beautiful enough? Is it comfortable enough? If you think carefully as you furnish a minimalist home you will find its possible to make a simple interior lively, eclectic and comfortable, too.
