ABC’s of Fine Design

There are many ways that you can set up ways to make changing your interior design a simple process. Maybe you only need seating for 2 most of the time, but when your family is over you need seating for 12. This is simple to fix. If you plan to have permanent seating for 4, a sofa and a chair maybe, then have movable seating for the other 8. You will create a better space for you when you need it and allow you to live comfortably when you don’t.

One item for seating you should look at are ottomans. They are great because they can be moved around, and when there not being used for seating they make great tables. I plan on buying a few after I move to use as coffee tables. You can also use them as a bench in front of your bed then move them to the room they are needed in when your family visits.

Another way to change the look of your room easily is cheep but nice artwork, you can have different pictures for each season or just change it whenever you see something new you like. Of course I recommend having one piece that is more expensive that you plan to keep, this could be a family picture or a expensive painting. When you have something in your home that means something to you it makes the space so much more inviting.

Have you been looking for a way to spruce up those bare walls you have? I know I have a problem with boring looking bare walls sometimes. The best way to deal with these bare walls is to use art. There are so many different kinds of art out there and you do need to find a style you like, but also you need to find a style that will fit with your home. Usually they are the same so it’s not a problem.

One of the best places to find good art is the Park West Art Gallery I actually heard of this art gallery a year ago when I was talking to a fellow student of mine and she said it’s a wonderful jewel of a place. They offer art auctions all over the united states and they even have a affiliate company that does art auctions on cruses.

Right there is a great idea for finding art. A cruse, not only can you get a good deal at an auction on a ship, but maybe you could find some great local art in port. Be creative with your choices and you will have a great piece to add to your collection and that bare wall at home.

Have you ever thought about how your newly designed bedroom would look when you turn the lights out? I know your thinking black, dark, duh! Well guess what it doesn’t have to be anymore. I recently stumbled across a man who does Night Sky Murals for homes.

Now your thinking right? Well not only can these be put in your bedroom so you can sleep under the stars, but there also great for home theaters and entry ways. Think about it, it’s nighttime and your guest walk into your home, only to look up and see the stars! Nice idea right?

Another great thing about this is that they can paint the constellations on your ceiling, perfect for children who need to learn them right? Plus most kids just like the idea of sleeping under the stars, and these murals actually look real not like those plastic glow in the dark stars you buy at the store.

If you would like to see some great photos of the work done by this man and his company check out there website Night Sky Murals. The photos are really amazing and I’m sure you will want to check them out.
