Modern And Traditional Home Interior Decorating Ideas

By Owen Jones


If you are thinking of redecorating your home, you are probably searching around for some home interior decorating ideas. Redecorating presents a good chance to express yourself by showing your style and interests. You do this by matching colours, textiles, styles and artwork. The combinations of possibilities in home interior decorating are truly infinite. No two houses ever have look the same by accident.

It would be easy to redecorate and adopt any home interior decorating ideas if money were not a constraint. Therefore, the challenge for most people is how to redecorate the house within a budget. You can obtain home interior decorating ideas from the many interior design items on TV or by buying a few of the home interior design magazines. The difficulty with the magazines, more so than with the TV programmes, is that they tend to show ideas that price thousands of dollars.

The Net is another source of down-to-earth home interior decorating ideas that regular people can afford. The prices of the items used in the Internet displays are normally a lot more affordable as well. The Net is also a good way of comparing the various broad-swathe styles. Styles such as country, modern, traditional, Mediterranean, Provencal, minimalist et cetera.

If you like the older styles such as country, primitive, Provencal or traditional, darker, warmer colours are the best. These colours go well with fabrics and old (style), wooden furniture. Wall hangings, paintings of country scenes, curtains and lots of throw cushions are a part of this style of interior design. Autumn colours go well together to produce a warm, friendly, cozy ambiance.

Modern, minimalist and Mediterranean styles tend to use brighter colours whites and off-whites like magnolia are de rigeur. Home interior decorating ideas for these styles incorporate a lack of clutter and plenty of free space and light.

However, there is nothing wrong with you mixing these style. This frequently occurs anyway, especially if people give you furniture or you inherit it. if you endeavor to combination different pieces of furniture which of course from radically different styles, you will require something to bridge the gap between them, so to speak. This can be done most easily with fabrics such as throw cushions, wall hangings such as tapestries, rugs and carpets.

Throw cushions do not all have to match. In fact, in the old days it was very unlikely that all the cushions or pillows in a room would all match, because cushions were frequently made from off-cuts of cloth from other projects. A assortment of different throw cushions can help you blend styles fairly easily. Another way, is to fill an old cabinet with more modern pieces of glass and china.
