Interior Design: Tips on Creating a Home Nursery

When you find out that you are going to become a parent, many things run through your mind. After the initial shock, joy, uncertainty, and acceptance, there is only one thing to do: prepare for baby! This can be a great deal of fun, and one way to include your husband and get him excited too. I find it more fun to design a nursery once the sex of the baby is known, but for those of you who want the sex to be a surprise, there are still tons of options to make your baby's space unique. Baby products are always in demand, and have come a long way in terms of having options for style. Traditional, transitional, and contemporary furnishings and accessories are all available at a variety of price ranges.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Baby%20Nursery%20Interior%20Design.jpg"><img alt="Interior Design Ideas" border="0" src="http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/image/Baby%20Nursery%20Interior%20Design.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 455px;" title="Interior Design Ideas" /></a><br /><p>We'll begin designing your dream nursery with determining a color scheme for your little one's new space. For girls the tradition has always been soft pink, but I find more new parents wanting other options. Look at brighter pinks or soft purples/ lavenders. Powder blue is no longer your only option for boys either. Orange or green hues can also be used to spice up your son's space. If you want to be really inventive or brave, use combinations of the above colors to set your nursery apart from the rest. One of my favorite combinations is a soft pink with orange accents for happy baby girls, or blue and soft green for a bouncing baby boy. For those trying to prep nursery's for a baby whose sex is not known, yellow is very common, but you could still use an orange or green theme and add the blue, pink, or purples in later. My personal favorite option for this situation is to remain very neutral. Bright or soft whites, tans, and browns can be easily accented to reflect the sex of your little one once you bring them home. This can also give mom something to do during the resting period after the birth. </p> <p>On a normal basis, I discourage matching furnishings, but for nurseries it seems very appropriate. It gives a crisper, cleaner look, which most new moms find to be very appealing in the "nesting" period. If a whole suite of furnishings is purchased you should have a crib, changing table, and chest of drawers or armoire. White painted, natural or stained woods are my general recommendation. I don't believe in purchasing new furnishings for every child, but instead changing the surroundings and accessories to reflect the child's individuality, therefore I would consider it bad practice to purchase a pink, blue, or gender specific crib. The only exception would be for my clients who have more than enough money to burn and are less concerned with cost than showing off their new bundle of joy's space.</p> <p>For mom's comfort I like to specify either nursing chairs, or for those who bottle-feed, a comfy rocker/glider (some nursing mothers like to have these chairs as well). Dads are fond of the gliders too, and I will get requests to accommodate more than one in a room so he can share the experiences with his spouse. </p> <p>Baby items have become big business, and accessories and bedding can be found everywhere. If you're looking for value, you are no longer given two or three options, there are thousands. Quality items are also abundant, but becoming more boutique store items, as cheaper alternatives have started to affect their niche markets. Baby bedding and curtains can be purchased to match, but in this regard, I still like to switch it up and add a designer's touch by using coordinating (not matching!) fabrics. Accessories for babies' rooms can go from art to decals on walls, knickknacks or vases, toys, and mobiles. </p> As far as making feedings and other things more convenient, I like to include a hidden bottle prep area in the closet, which generally isn't used until the child is older (unless for storing extra items baby is to young for). A small freestanding refrigerator for extra milk or nursery water can be easily hidden in most closets and the bottle warmer and clean bottles stored on racks can be neatly placed on top of the refrigerator for easy accessibility.<br /><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>

5 Basic Ideas of Modern Interior Design

Simplicity. If you were looking for a word that described what modern home decor was then that would be; it is simplicity. Of course, simple doesn’t mean boring and modern decor with its clean lines, neutral color palette and geometric shapes is anything but boring. Instead, modern home decor can be warm, inviting and completely stylish in just about any home. But how do you achieve modern home decor? Obviously, it isn’t as simple as walking into a store and choosing items that have clean lines. There takes a bit more to that and there are several basic ideas that should be incorporated into a modern decor.<p> </p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxLj07WM54_s-WPI9Patqj_PWmDxLSHS2_wi82xxKQ61gLBKS2duGGC6V2N2PtFn3IWj9Z9Gh8GD_ycpLPMDaGVnnB4gtGXZFCe3XSFb6EGlACMlKLDmgMEJWId6jW6QtwTS1KHuAeT2q/s1600/modern-interior.jpg"><img alt="Interior Design Ideas" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407415473641560050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxLj07WM54_s-WPI9Patqj_PWmDxLSHS2_wi82xxKQ61gLBKS2duGGC6V2N2PtFn3IWj9Z9Gh8GD_ycpLPMDaGVnnB4gtGXZFCe3XSFb6EGlACMlKLDmgMEJWId6jW6QtwTS1KHuAeT2q/s400/modern-interior.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 313px;" title="Interior Design Ideas" /></a></p><p>The first idea is to keep it simple. Remember that word that best describes modern design and make sure that you incorporate it into your space. There is no need for the room to simply be four walls and a chair for sitting, we aren’t going to that extreme, but you will want to keep things as uncluttered as it possible. Studies have shown that clutter can lead to stress in your life so keeping your decor simple will help alleviate some of the stresses that you feel.</p> <p>The second idea of modern home decor is function. Not only should your rooms be simple with those clean lines and minimal artwork and accessories, but it should also be functional. This varies greatly from room to room but when you go into a room, it should be easy to access and use various items in it. So, for instance, a kitchen that is designed with modern decor in mind should have ample workroom and everything should be easy to access.<br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJHTf2HnEpUU__P6Na-t5vxvpmsqj2ni9PdueDS2-khlyIeEgeUKFsYp70PFCb1AZJWWscYtkfAx7M4BDZS920XbTN8ARbnrsUZOAR7tFzSglnDAvNwDSCLgrQMb_59aqQfjIVZwPkoFcd/s1600/modern-interior-design.jpg"><img alt="Interior Design Ideas" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407415176131958146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJHTf2HnEpUU__P6Na-t5vxvpmsqj2ni9PdueDS2-khlyIeEgeUKFsYp70PFCb1AZJWWscYtkfAx7M4BDZS920XbTN8ARbnrsUZOAR7tFzSglnDAvNwDSCLgrQMb_59aqQfjIVZwPkoFcd/s400/modern-interior-design.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" title="Interior Design Ideas" /></a><br />Technology is the third idea for a modern decor in your home. It is actually a lot more than simply stating “technology” and any electronics that are in your home should work with the space. It is often recommended that all electronics be streamlined, so flat panel televisions, built in DVD players, small flat screen televisions in the kitchen, and computers tied in to a room rather than being a lump in it, are important to keep those lines clean.<br /><br />Open spaces. If you are going with a modern decor, then you will want to utilize our fourth idea by having lots of open space in your home. This may not be possible in some homes that offer closed rooms instead of an open concept but you can create the appearance of open spaces by using color, fabrics and furniture. You can also keep windows coverings that are light in color and airy in feel to create an open feel in to the room, even if it isn’t.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi54rkUpGm2kXkgSvMady9cfBPzyjryfE127NeId2YKDlWwNUFThvlsmn9YF6mvRU9d7TSXw49lbeyIeQJNIb2d5qIfUL0J66kfMBXEpUg_KmdKUjSZOyvmJFkfReirUslBB4v95Db2a9XC/s1600/modern-decor.jpg"><img alt="Interior Design Ideas" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407414959974187218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi54rkUpGm2kXkgSvMady9cfBPzyjryfE127NeId2YKDlWwNUFThvlsmn9YF6mvRU9d7TSXw49lbeyIeQJNIb2d5qIfUL0J66kfMBXEpUg_KmdKUjSZOyvmJFkfReirUslBB4v95Db2a9XC/s400/modern-decor.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" title="Interior Design Ideas" /></a><br />The last idea for creating a modern decor in your home is to add a little bit of character to the space. It can be amazing how one splash of color on an otherwise neutral palette can create such an alarming effect to the room. Don’t hesitate to explore your options with color and make the space one that you will enjoy sharing with every.<br /><br />Creating a modern decor doesn’t have to be difficult and there is a lot of room to play around with your spaces. All you really need to remember are these five simple rules and before you know it, you will have a modern decor that shines.

<title>HTML clipboard</title><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0"><meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design" height="400" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="600" /></p> <p>What is immediately striking about the living room interior design ideas by Calligaris is how welcoming and easy-on-the-eye they are. Gorgeous color coordination incorporating large blocks of bold color, patterned accents, and a range of finishes and textures make the living room ideas a tasty visual treat. Nothing is bulky or overpowering, instead, there is a sense of crispness – a precise aesthetic brought about by the unique, individual pieces that work so well together. Light flows through a number of elements in these modern living room inspirations, such as the wonderful transparent red chairs that shine like a sucked sweet. The matching red lamps accentuate the look. Extraordinary ceiling suspended lamps bring light and style to most of the interiors – often hanging over the dining table where their interesting forms can be best appreciated. Check out the multi-faceted, mirror finish lamp in a teardrop shape, for example – totally groovy. All in all, Calligaris fills the spaces only with objects that really matter – each piece of furniture is funky and functional.</p> <p> </p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="344" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration1-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="598" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="376" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration2-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="600" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="381" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration4-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="600" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="391" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration3-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="600" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="353" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration5-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="600" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="592" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration6-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="462" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="592" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration7-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="463" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="589" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration8-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="462" /></p> <p> <img alt="modern Living Room Interior Design.jpg" height="596" hspace="0" src="http://www.trendir.com/interiors/modern-living-room-inspiration9-calligaris.jpg" title="modern Living Room Interior Design" width="463" /></p> <p> </p>

Simple Interior Design Tips

<title>HTML clipboard</title><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0"><meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"> <p> <img align="left" alt="Interior Design Ideas" border="0" height="277" src="http://freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/bedroom-home-interior.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" title="Interior Design Ideas" width="412" />A modern home owner today enjoys a lot of freedom when it comes to how they design the interiors of their homes. The<br /><br />philosophy of design is very much in-sync with a postmodern world view where rules and regulations are thrown out the<br /><br />window in favor of an almost anything-goes approach. But beware: even in chaos you will find order.<br /><br /><br /><br />Before you begin ask yourself two questions:<br /><br /><br /><br />1. What do I want to improve?<br /><br /><br /><br />2. What is my interior design budget?<br /><br /><br /><br />Your interior design options can range from small to large and from inexpensive to very expensive.<br /><br /><br /><br />You may be able to solve the problem of your lounge room with a splash of colorful pillows and a strategically hung mirror<br /><br />or you may need something more drastic like a complete change of wall color with a feature wall to boot.<br /><br /><br /><br />The important thing is to be able to pinpoint exactly what is not working for you now. Is it really the color of your<br /><br />walls? Or would a framed poster and showcase light fighting do the trick? Is it really your drab furniture? Or would a<br /><br />brightly colored throw rug and pillows make the dramatic change you are looking for?<br /><br /><br /><br />In order to answer these questions you need to step into your room and imagine you are expecting a new friend to visit.<br /><br />What would this person see? How would you feel you could better impress this person? Then always try to answer your ideas<br /><br />with the smallest possible changes first rather than the most drastic.<br /><br /><br /><br />Color is one of the best ways to create the illusion you want. Adding color to your interior design need not be drastic (as<br /><br />in wall painting or new furniture) but easy and something you can do in a day. Instead of painting a wall, hang a mirror,<br /><br />clock, shelves or piece of artwork. Instead of buying a new coffee table, decorate your existing one with books, candles<br /><br />and a large bouquet of freshly cut flowers.<br /><br /><br /><br />The most important rule of successful interior design is the rule of simplicity.</p> <br /><br /><br /><br />

Using full length curtains will also add height to a room as well as being the perfect solution for dressing patio or French doors which are typically found in dinning rooms of traditionally styled homes.<br /><br />Image: <a href=http://www.alifesdesign.blogspot.com/>A Life's Design</a>

If you watch a television show that is dedicated to interior designing for one hour, once you come out, you would have enough knowledge that you can design for complete home. The main drawback of a television show when compared to applying these ideas in life is these are tough to document. If you don’t sit next or in front of the TV and scribble down madly onto paper piece, it is really difficult to remember all the ideas that you get watching the show. The key for a successful interior designing is planning.</p> <p>Replicating or trying to copy an idea or design from a TV show for your home could include additional planning or steps which might not be shown in an hour or a thirty – minutes of a show. This being the reason it is necessary for one to go through the entire dry run of the design or idea before we actually execute it. There is a fair chance for figuring out and taking corrective measures to make sure a hassle free application.</p> <p>The only resource for ideas and information for interior designs is not Television. Books always remain as a better help for designers of any experience and background. The information we get in the books is more or less explanative and thought-out material when compared to a TV show. As book demand more basic information and material than a Television show can have in a limited segment of time. Not only this, books are written by two or three authors together for such subjects and are also edited before it is released to the readers in any form. So, the information would be edited and re-written by two to three parties. Exceptions for the rules are always there but, this would be the normal scenario.</p> <p>If you feel reading a book is time consuming for tedious task, then you can always choose to read a magazine article as another source of information for interior design. You always have the benefit of pictures or visual representations of the designs and its concepts in a magazine that you can look into or hold on for a particular period of time. Professional interior designers collect all these articles in big numbers along with the visuals and keep them in a format that can be accessible to everyone easily. This is a perfect source for getting specific information, feel or look that is difficult to describe in actual terms of industry for a client. Terminology used in these articles are self-explanatory although people who don’t have much expose to this jargons might find it difficult to understand few phrases or concepts that are used to define the interior design areas. Most of us are aware of the words ‘modern’ and ‘traditional’ design but, the magazines would not find it difficult to say ‘Americana’ or ‘Minimalist’ for these terms. You need not think its incomplete just because you are not aware of these phrases, you have to understand that the process of learning takes time and hence is exactly termed as a process.</p> <p>If you have enough creative ideas with you, go through different magazines and have an unique and distinct style design for your work that are within the ideas and guidelines for interior designing. If you feel you are not much comfortable with your style and find it easy in the traditional design segment, then collate all the ideas pertaining to this category and stick to the ideas or guidelines provided in the information you have collected.</p> <p>Taking a little of information from these various sources and compile them into a creative collection of ideas that can help you access this information any time in future to compare with your own vision and ides would be a best way to understand information.</p> </span>

Virtual Interior Decorating: Designing is now for everyone!

The virtual world is a window into what human potential can truly accomplish. In the age where the world of wires and peripherals is helping us out in everything else, there is absolutely no reason why designers and individuals cannot take technologies help decorate homes to perfection. The introduction of <strong>CAD</strong> (Computer Aided Design) has altered the way the art of designing is being approached. From top notch professionals to enthusiastic young amateurs, everyone has an equal shot at this unique feature. Here’s our take on it<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/virtual-interior-design3.jpg"><img alt="Interior Design Ideas" border="0" src="http://freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/virtual-interior-design3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 421px; height: 316px;" title="Interior Design Ideas" /></a><br /><p><strong>Stunning décors</strong></p> <p>That is by far the biggest single advantage that designing in the virtual world has on offer. It is a million times easier than designing and drawing on paper. This ensures that you do not need to be trained in anything substantially to create decorating ideas and interior designs all b yourself. All you’ll need to know is how to use CAD. This makes the concept a very attractive option even for those who could never draw a straight line.</p> <p><strong>Convert thoughts into designs</strong></p> <p>Before virtual interior design came along, you either had to be damn good with measurements and sketches or should have been very-well trained to transfer a beautiful design that lingers in your mind onto paper. The problem with this was that customers and designers often ended up with different views of how the design would end up looking like. Now that problem is eliminated as every user can easily translate thoughts into solid designs with just the click of the mouse!</p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/virtual-interior-design2.jpg"><img alt="Interior Design Ideas" border="0" src="http://freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/virtual-interior-design2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 419px; height: 314px;" title="Interior Design Ideas" /></a><br /><p><strong>Eliminate potential errors</strong></p> <p>Most often we start thinking that our design is perfectly right, but we then need to face up to new and unforeseen challenges. Using the virtual prototypes, one can eliminate such errors or even keep them to an absolute bare minimum. You can erase, start again from the basics and re-do it with new ideas as many times as you want without spending a single dime. This might take time, but its way lot less than the hassle of having to put something in place, and then remove it and redesign.</p> <p><strong>Saves cash, time, labor and a whole lot more</strong></p> <p>This is pretty self-explanatory. If you know exactly what you are getting and can see on a screen what your home will finally look like, planning is a lot easier. You can try a million designs in the virtual world, stick to the one you love in the real world. Most importantly, this will give you a good night’s sleep as you will not be worried about ‘what it would look like’.</p> <p><strong>Import photographs, create customized options and even get cost estimates</strong></p> <p>You can import the photographs of your existing rooms, re-decorate the existing stuff the way you wish to experiment and check it out before actually asking your hubby to get off the couch and move everything. You can even create customized options and get cost estimations for re-decorating in case of sophisticated CAD applications. Just depends on what you need.</p> <p>There is absolutely no doubt that virtual interior decorating has revamped the world of design and decoration. It has bridged the gap between ideas and reality offering you an easy way to design your own stuff. One little thing you need to be careful though is the way this can get really addictive Just like that new video game level that you just have to crack before you do anything else in life, this also entices you endlessly. Considering that there is never a finals solution, you are always looking for something better!</p>

Interior Designing Tips: Bedrooms & Dens

<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;">● When interior designing your bedrooms, make sure the rooms are cozy and restful in appearance. Avoid bright colors like orange. Bright colors won't induce you to sleep. Neutral, pastel and warm colors are best suited for bedrooms.<br /><br />● If you are starting your interiors from scratch, you can start by choosing fabrics first and base the color of you wall from it, then you can select furniture that compliments the color of walls and the fabrics that you are going to use.<br /><br />● Save on expensive wall decor, go through magazines, art books or even your child's art work at school and have the picture framed. Not only will you save, you will have a unique picture that is not found on commercial home decor stores.<br /><br />● Consider an extra cabinet or storage space inside your bedroom or den, they are areas that usually invite clutter. It is important to always have your room neat and clutter free.<br /><br />● Use warm flooring on bedroom floors like wood and carpet. Don't use ceramic tiles, marble or granite on bedroom floors. It is not pleasant to get out of bed in the morning and step on a cold floor. If a cold flooring material is already installed, put an area rug beside the bed.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;"><br /><img align="right" alt="Cozy Bedroom" border="0" height="309" src="http://www.philippineinteriordesign.com/Interior_design_bedroom.jpg" width="336" />● If you can, use the same fabric, design and color of the bedcovers as with the curtains. The room will have that "Interior Designed" look.<br /><br />● If you want to be one with nature as the look you want for your bedroom, go with <span style="color:#000000;">woven wood shades</span>. These are made from renewable resources like jutes, bamboos, reeds and rattan. Cool, cozy and "green" look is achieved!<br /><br />● If your room is small, use mirrors on the walls. It gives the room an illusion of space (If you are a Feng Shui believer, see the tips on mirrors).<br /><br />● For bedrooms and specially dens, put an exhaust fan on the ceiling or wall farthest from the window. It will suck-in the cold air outside and keep the air inside the room fresh and cool. This can even save you electricity bills by not using your air conditioner during cool months.<br /><br />● Some of us wants our bedrooms to be dark even late in the day specially when we sleep late. Thus some of us put up very dark curtains. Deep colored curtains against a light colored wall comes very strong. It is better to have your walls a shade darker and the curtain a little lighter to lessen the contrast. An alternative is to use two layered curtains instead one that is very dark.<br /><br />● Aside from the typical center light on the middle of the ceiling, use lampshades, pin lights and up lights for mood lighting. These type of lighting gives dark and light patterns of light in the room.<br /><br />● 1/3 of you life is spent on your bed. Invest in a good mattress, pillows and cotton or linen sheets -they absorb perspiration better.<br /><br />● The bedroom is your private space, among all rooms in your home, your bedroom's look and atmosphere should be the most relaxing and reflective of your personal taste and style.</span>

This may sound rather daft, however, just because you haven't been affected before there is no telling whether you may be in the future, so checking is wise so that you can be prepared for a worst case scenario.<br /><br />Check weather forecasts and flood alerts to begin moving as many of your possessions as you can upstairs if you live in a two or more storey house. If you live in a ground floor flat or a bungalow ask friends and family to take care of your belongs for you. Many things you may be able to replace, however, treasured photographs and mementos are irreplaceable.<br /><br />If you have floor length curtains it would be wise to take them down, otherwise they can act in the same way as a wick and soak the water upwards. Replace the curtains with inexpensive aluminium <a href=http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/blinds/venetian-blinds/>Venetian blinds</a> so that you still have privacy both day and night.<br /><br />Above all else remember not to take any risks which could endanger your own or others lives.<br /><br />Image: <a href=http://livingartandinteriors.blogspot.com/>Living Art and Interiors Blogspot</a>

It's a timeless classic which can be used in all styles and designs of homes.

Add embroidered or beautifully embellished <a href=http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/bedding/printed-duvet-covers/>duvet sets</a> to bring a pink bedroom right up to date in the world of interior design. Add boudoir style cushions, boa feathers along with beaded chandeliers and pink bedrooms can become far more inviting than you may think!<br /><br />For a spring-time fresh look team fuchsia pink with apple green for an exciting and vibrant appearance which is crisp and clean to liven up a dark and dreary room.<br /><br />Next time you think 'pink', step outside the stereotypical box and be inspired with a colour which is available in a wide palette of different shades to invigorate your home beautifully.<br /><br />Image: <a href=http://mynottinghill.blogspot.com/>My Notting Hill Blog</a>
