Interior Design Ideas



When it comes to home interior design lots of people believe that repainting your home and varying furniture are the only things that will make a big distinction.
Yes, they will but there are a thousand other things, which can be complete imaginatively separately from easy repainting you home that can make a vast difference. If you are planning to redesign your home then I you can save a lot of money by looking at the smaller things in your home, which will generate a perception of newly, designed home and that too in a small financial plan.
Here are some home interior design thoughts that can help out you.
1) Instead of changing the whole color of your walls attempt changing just one wall in each bedroom. Mark the wall in all room that receives direct sunlight and painting it with bright color (just an example) and sees what happens.
Painting the wall is not the only choice here; you can also apply a wallpaper of your choice and see the difference. This way you have saved a lot of money (almost 2/3) and at the same time got yourself an amazing combination of color scheme with the existing one.
2) Secondly try using some wall hangings on the wall in your bedroom. If you don't like wall hangings try using abstract paintings or even hand sketches. Instead of using just one painting why not use a combination of three or four smaller paintings or framed photos of your family members.
3) Thirdly as an alternative of breaking down the entire furniture and building a new set try changing your furniture layout to a totally new one. You'll see amazing shift in the way your home looks. I know these sounds too good to be true, but you'll feel the difference.
Interior design is all about perception, the moment you change even a small aspect of the entire existing setup you will feel a new energy in your home and will also help you generate new ideas to get more out of your existing interior design elements without spending more money.
There are a lot extra lesser things that can make a big difference in your home interior design and you should always try them out manually. At first you may suffer some struggle in trying out new and wild things but once you see the difference it becomes a habit to design and decorate your own home with passion and enthusiasm.
You've finally bought your favorite art piece but don't really have a clue as to where and how to display them? Read on and gain some tips on how you can creatively display your art.


1. Receptiveness sculpture on the wall
The wall isn't the only place where you can display art. You can simply place the picture on the floor and lean it on the wall or furniture. Try placing two art pieces of different sizes, one leaning over the other, partially covering the other one but still leaving most of the art visible.
2. Insertion art on a shelf or gallery ledge
You can mount a gallery ledge on the wall and place pictures across the entire length of it. Randomize the arrangement of pictures by having some of them slightly overlap each other. Use pictures of different sizes and put the smaller sized pictures in front. This can also apply to placing pictures on the shelf above the fireplace.
3. Utilize artistic hanging tools
Instead of mounting your art directly onto to the wall, use a hanging apparatus to hang your art. This can be done by mounting a horizontal bar against the wall close to the ceiling. Support your picture with 2 ropes. Tie one end of the rope to each corner of the picture and knot the other end around the horizontal bar. You can hang 2 or 3 pictures next to each other this way to make it look like a contemporary art gallery installation. Displaying art this way saves your wall from unsightly holes drilled into them.
4. Apply ribbons to swing art
Use 2 or 3 ribbons with thick widths running down half to three quarters the length of the wall. Attach one or two pictures one above the other to the ribbons and just let it hang. Suspending pictures from ribbons this way adds a unique touch to your home decor. Use ribbons with complimentary themes, like floral motifs. If you want to display art this way, use pictures that are light in weight so that they can be supported by the ribbons.
Another creative way of using ribbons to suspend your art is to use one ribbon for each picture. Fix one end of the ribbon at some point on the wall near the ceiling and loop the other end through both corners at the top of the picture. Then tie the remaining end of the ribbon back onto the main length of the ribbon. Adjust the ribbon so that the portion supporting the picture looks like a triangle shaped hanger. Just let the picture suspend against the wall like that. Make sure also, that the strength of the ribbon can support the weight of the picture.
5. Stay it all stage
If you're aligning a series of pictures on the wall, draw an imaginary line across the wall to use as a guide. Use a small leveling gauge to check that the pictures are level once they are hung. To avoid the pictures from tilting to one side, stick some double sided tape or adhesive clay to the side corners to secure it to the wall.
