Super Decorating Ideas to Inspire You

Filed under: professionally decorated look, wall decals, DIY decorating — admin @ 6:08 pm

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and before the game starts, I’m thinking of some “Super” decorating ideas to inspire you! Decorating does not have to be hard or take a lot of your time. Here’s a few quick ideas to get you started so you can create a look you’ve always wanted. And, the best part is, you don’t have to re-do the whole room from top to bottom to make a change. Pick a section (like the walls) or area (new rugs) and just get started.

Magazine Research
The best way to get ideas for your home decorating is to look in magazines. Pick your favorite decorating magazine and start keeping a file of looks, colors, patterns and textures you like. You may not see how it will all come together at first, but, collecting images of what you like will help you define your style.

Review and Find Commonality
Once you have your file folder of images you like, review them and see if you can find a common theme or pattern. Do you like, stripes? Is the color Blue what speaks to you? How about flowers? You’ll start to see what you’re drawn to and you can apply that to the area of your room you want to change (ie. Walls, floors, accents, paint, etc… )

DIY Decorating
Now that you’re ready to get down to some “super” DIY decorating, see if you have anything already around the house that you can either move from one room to another, or, even pull out of a closet or garage storage. For example, maybe you’ve decided that you want a room that has blue accents. Do you have a throw blanket you can drape over the sofa? If so, start there and then find a few accent pillows to match it and you can easily pull together a coordinated look.

Think about doing the change in stages so it does not seem too overwhelming. Maybe start with the accent pieces this weekend, and next weekend move to the walls. If painting seems like too much work, you can easily change the look of your room with wall decals. They look as if they’ve been painted on and add a professional touch to any DIY decorating project. Plus they remove just as easy as they install, if you want to change the look again down the road.

Professional Look to DIY Decorating

Everyone wants a beautifully decorated home, and it’s great to save money during the process. You can achieve a professionally decorated look in your home even if you do-it-yourself. These basic tips will serve for any room in your house: kitchen, dining room, living room, kids room, baby nursery, bed room and bath room. Try these suggestions for a complete look you’ll be happy with every day and proud to show off at your next gathering:

  1. Paint! Yes, it’s simple, but, just a paint color can change the entire mood of your house and it’s very easy to do in a weekend. Go to the home improvement store and browse all the paint chips available. Purchase 3 – 4 small cans of the colors you are considering. Paint a small patch, (about 6” square), of each color you like in the desired room. Once it dries, look at it for a few days or a week, during different times a day (because lighting effects the color), and see if it conveys the feeling you intended. When you’ve found the one you like, paint the whole wall. You can also paint just the top or bottom half of a wall, and cut the middle visually with wood molding or even wall decal stripes or borders.
  2. Accessorize. Keep those paint chips you started with and look at the tints (adding white) and shades (adding black) to help you find coordinating colors for room accents. Accents can be a variety of things: pillows, rugs, throw blankets, shelf accessories like candles and vases, etc… Decide if you like a monochromatic theme which is tints and shades of one color (like blue), or pick 2 - 3 colors in a similar value that complement each other (check your color wheel) and stick with just those 3 to achieve a harmonious look (ie. Blue, peach (a tint of orange which is blues complimentary color) and a warm yellow (yellow is right next to orange on the color wheel).
  3. Add Accents. Hang artwork such as posters or paintings or even a rug draped over a dowel rod. Or, try something new by using wall decals that look like stencil painting. It’s easy to do and with Wall Slicks brand decals, you can re-position them if you make a mistake. They come in 40 colors and a multitude of designs to accent any color or theme you’ve chosen. You can even frame them for completely different look. Just some of the design styles include: modern, country, nature, classic, high style, and kids (teens, tweens and babies).

Get creative! If you’re not sure where to start, pull photos you like from magazines, and keep a “decorating binder” for inspiration. You can tear out sheets because you liked a certain color, or found inspiration in a nature scene, or even saw a look in a decorating magazine that was just want you had in mind: colors, accents, furniture, etc…. Keep the binder of images with you when doing your shopping at the home improvement or decorating store so you don’t forget the colors and theme you are going for. The possibilities are endless when you do it yourself. Tap into your creativity and create a beautiful room today.
