Laying Out Your Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

As you plan the sitting area of your room, it is important to think of how you use the room.\u00a0 Is there a focal point?\u00a0 In many great rooms, family rooms, or even living rooms, watching television is a main activity.\u00a0 Your seating should be arranged so that it is oriented toward the TV.\u00a0 Sometimes a fireplace serves as the focal point. In a larger room, you may consider a conversation area or reading corner or a game table for family or friend activities.<\/p>\n

Area Rugs<\/strong><\/p>\n

When redecorating a room, there are many layers to the finished product.\u00a0 Starting at the floor, what are you keeping or changing there?\u00a0\u00a0 Whether you have wall-to-wall carpet, or a hard surface, you can bring a new look to the room with an area rug.\u00a0 Traditional or transitional, patterned or plain, textured or not, the area rug can determine the feel and style of your room.\u00a0 The rug should be chosen first or at the same time as upholstery so that the colors work together.\u00a0 Whether you are considering bold colors, muted colors or neutral colors, the area rug will serve as an anchor for the room.<\/p>\n

Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n

While many homes have ceiling lighting, lamps add warmth and targeted lighting as well as beauty to any room.\u00a0 There are wonderful lamps in many sizes, using materials ranging from metal to ceramics to wood, or combinations of materials.\u00a0 Lamps can dress a room up or down. Lamps can make a statement when used in pairs, or provide and eclectic feel when styles are mixed.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget about color when selecting lamps. Lamps can provide that pop of color that your room needs.\u00a0 Consider the amount of light the lamp provides when decided where to place it.<\/p>\n

Walls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selecting the color of your walls is important to making the room reflect your preferences.\u00a0 Allowing the walls to remain quiet by choosing neutral colors can allow your furniture pieces to do the talking. Painting one wall an accent color can add another dimension to the room. Wallpaper can provide texture and color to a wall. \u00a0The art you choose for your room can reflect your personality and the feel you would like for your room.\u00a0 When selecting art, choose the colors that you would like to emphasize.\u00a0 The subject matter of your art should say something to you.\u00a0 Are landscapes and natural scenes what you find pleasing to your senses, or do you prefer cityscapes or abstract art.\u00a0 Art is the most personal and individual choice you can make for your room.\u00a0 Size matters when it comes to art. A group of smaller prints can add a finished look to a wall behind a piece of furniture.\u00a0 On a bigger wall, a large piece of art can be dramatic and stunning.\u00a0 A mirror can add a reflection of light and dimension.\u00a0 When hanging your art, keep in mind that it should be at eye level.\u00a0 A common mistake is hanging art too high.<\/p>\n

Accessories\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The accessories you add to your room can serve as the jewelry for your room.\u00a0 With accessories you can add color and a mix of materials.\u00a0 A few well-placed items can go a long way to making your room look complete.\u00a0 Too many accessories can cause your room to appear cluttered.\u00a0 If you have a collection of items, consider placing them among books on a bookshelf, or in an etagere. A cohesive group of family photos adds a personal touch. Many times, one beautiful piece on a coffee table is perfect.\u00a0 Meaningful items from your travels can add a story to your d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n
