Home Decor
Home is the ideal place to unwind and the only place you want to rush to, after a day’s work. A lion prefers his den to the wilderness and this holds good for all creatures. Living in a habitat is interesting but having a niche or a place, you can call your home is indeed a blessing.
In the past, by virtue of civilization, there have been incessant changes in trends which have by and large, improved the way of life. Today, home decor and home furnishings epitomize good civilization. Home furnishing is considered to be an art; so much so that professionals are specifically trained to add ingenuity to your home with suitable home decor.
The whole concept of ideal home furnishings can be explored and simplified as follows.
Oriental home decor- an overview:
Oriental home decor is ideally suited for Indian homes and is widely seen across Asia. The house is generally spacious and there is often ample space for wooden furniture. The very common items of oriental home furnishings include wall hangings, ethnic curios, curios with carvings, Idols of gods, artificial or fresh flowers, pottery, bamboo craft and much more. The way you arrange them will define their resourcefulness. A few key points to consider when you do up your home are as follows:
Is space a constraint?
Size does matter when it comes to your abode and it is important to decorate your home accordingly. If space is a constraint, make sure the curtains and walls are of a lighter shade. The more the light filters in, the wider the space will appear. Let the various curios and artifacts adorning the floor, tables and walls be smaller. Vertical wall hangings festooned with smaller designs and subtle hues are ideal for smaller homes.
On the other hand, a larger interior space can have dark colored walls and curtains adorned with bold prints and embellishments. The artifacts can be of appropriate shapes and sizes, as space is not a limitation. Wall hangings with darker hues and bold designs may seem ideal. Dangling wall hangings, suspended cane swings or the traditional swings festooned with carvings and oriental wind chimes may be included in home decor.
Art of choosing ideal home furnishings
The type of home furnishings you choose will depend on the wall color, the type of furniture (if the abode is furnished), number of people living in the house and the type of flooring, in addition to the size of the abode as mentioned earlier. Here are a few aspects that are integral to home decor which you may find useful

Help answer the question about home decor
How can I keep dead palm leaves to use as decor in my home?
I have about 10 large dead queen & king palm leaves that I would love to use as part of our home decor. I would also like to spray paint them different colors. Is there something I should spray on them first to keep them from drying out & breaking before painting them w/color?

I doubt they would… They could possibly ask him for a percentage of the price though

cover a feature wall in raw multi-colored slate tiles. they can be glued right to the wall. they have great textures and wondeful earthy colors, especially when lit by track lighting.

Find a good auctioneer in your area. They can appraise and set up an auction to sell your merchandise.

I prefer thrift stores myself ~ followed by Target, who does seem to have some pretty amazing sales.
By Paula, February 6, 2010 @ 10:38 pm
Target and even K-mart sometimes offer similar but cheaper products. They were actually sued not so long ago for selling decor in their stores that resembled Pottery Barns stuff. Also, you might want to consider looking on e-bay or Amazon marketplace, as they do have really good knock-offs and original Pottery barn products there at reasonable prices- good luck!

You can get spray varnish that won't yellow and use it first…Try to find something not glossy….. So that when you paint them the paint will adhere to them…..They will become brittle no matter what…However you will be giving them some extra layers …And that should increase their life….Have Fun

The very best way to obtain home decor at a rock bottom price is to always be on the lookout for these types of places:
Garage/Yard Sales
The GoodWill
The Salvation Army
Thrift Shops
Second Hand Shops
Consignment Shops
Your Friends and Family's Basements and Attics
Look past the finish on furniture and pay attention to the lines. You can refinish or paint just about anything. A $3.00 lamp base at the Salvation Army that is ugly can have new life with a can of spray paint.
Gaudy picture frames can become great frames for a mirror. Take the drawers out of a dresser, sand and stain them along with the dresser top, then paint the dresser black. A great look, indeed. An outdoor bench is a great asset in a house. You can get anything from rugs to liquor decanters at thrift shops. Shop for pillows in the clearance sections of Marshall's, TJ Max and Home Goods. Do not overlook new or used outdoor furniture to use inside. I made a great headboard out of a three paneled door turned sideways after filling in the doorknob hole and the hinge screws.
Find out when bulk pick up day is conducted in surrounding towns. Go out with a truck and you will be amazed at what people are throwing away. The best time to shop the Salvation Army and the GoodWill is in October, November and December when people are getting rid of their old furniture and replacing it for the holidays.
Paint is the least expensive and single most dramatic change you an make in any room. Pick warm colors and please do not pick white paint for your walls because it seems like a safe way out. Color in your home will instantly add the homey look you are after. Really.
Remember, buy only things you like and are capable of fixing up or you will end up with a bunch of stuff you hate in the long run.
Good Luck to you in your new home.
