One of the joys of interior decorating is the ability to take an ordinary-looking space and transform it into something beautiful. Unlike what any other art form allows, interior design allows you to live within your creation. This activity allows you to combine creativity and utility. Working with interior design in a sense is like restaurant service in that the experience is disastrous when it is not good, and almost imperceptible when it is excellent. Although those who live in your home may not notice it, the effects of the work you have done include feelings of security, satisfaction, and inspiration. Not everything you decorate has to be completely innovative – sometimes simply rearranging what’s already there or replicating something you’ve seen before adds a wonderful touch to the area.
Creating attractive garlands
A simple but beautiful way to decorate your porch is to add a wreath to your door. There are many ways to get creative when making a crown – combinations of colors, shapes, and themes or styles allow for endless possibilities. You just need a donut ring and some silk flowers to get started. Take the flowers and cut the stems an inch from the calyx or bottom of the flower. Then push the stems of each flower into the ring. While placing the flowers, make sure the foam is well covered; however, you don’t want your flowers to look too cluttered! Your wreath will last a long time if you use a hot glue gun to add small amounts of glue where the base of the flower meets the ring. Adding leaves or vines to your wreath works well for additional decoration or to cover bare spots. You can choose to create crowns using one type of flower in many colors, or one color using many flowers or a combination. Finally, choose which part of the wreath you want to put on the “top” and tie a string around that area so you can hang it on the door.
Decorate with greenery
One of the fundamentals of a properly decorated home is creating the right atmosphere. This atmosphere is created using a good combination of colors, styles, textures and furniture. When decorating with more natural tones and textures, greenery is an important element that helps to unify and bring life to the room. When adding greenery, make sure you know the size and positions of the areas you will be using to choose pieces with complementary shapes and styles. Making sure you have one to two feet of space above the tree makes the room feel more spacious and airy. You will also want the branches to be able to fit naturally in the area. Plants come in many shapes and sizes; If you plan to have a tabletop display, a shorter plant like a bonsai tree would be perfect. One way to spruce up the corners of your rooms is to hang a plant from the ceiling. Whether it’s in a basement or an area with no sunlight, there are many varieties of silk or artificial plants to choose from, and it’s surprising how realistic they can appear.
How to decorate your home, even with small children around
Many families with young children still have a strong desire for a well decorated home. Children, however, have the ability to interrupt such projects. When decorating in a home with young children, one of the best things you can do is give them their own project. These experiences are what children (and you) will remember, and you are giving your children a chance to take pride in their efforts. There are thousands upon thousands of home decor ideas that work with young children. Another tip: decorative items like tall trees and hanging baskets are difficult for little hands to reach or damage.
