The Only Home Designs Tips You Need
Executive Summary about Home by Johnathan H. Bakers

Even if you don't know anything about designing houses then you can still help to create your dream home by assisting a contractor with decisions. You should take some time to plan your own home design, and do so carefully.

Open House
There are many open houses which you can visit for inspiration and ideas. Sometimes people will spend all day driving around looking at houses to get some great ideas.

Magazines
There are also a number of perfect living magazines which might give you just the right idea for your own home. You need to remember that you are not creating a simple home, you are creating your dream home. Every year big companies run competitions offering people the chance to win their dream home custom designed. Make sure you plan your own home so that it really is your dream home. Only you will be able to create the home of your dreams, nobody else!

Why Home Design Matters
Executive Summary about Home by Lisa Chang

If you look at a lot of bachelor apartments, you probably already know that home design isn't a big deal to everyone. Well, if you follow feng shui you know the answer: it makes a huge difference!

Work With Your Subconscious
It's the difference between your subconscious saying, "Ahh, I'm home!" when you walk in the front door and another little bit of stress piling onto the day's load.

When you think home design, you might imagine a certain famous Martha and her ilk carefully dabbing stencils and paint along the ceiling. Surround yourself with comfort. Your home design should be about making a comfortable refuge from the busy world, not about getting into a design magazine.

Just make sure that your home design encourages a sense of peace and refuge, not business and worry!

How to Decorate your Space with Wall Pictures

If a room in your house lacks character, by simply placing some fine art prints on the walls can actually make quite an impact. Wall pictures are a necessary accessory in your home and are great to tie in with the room's style and color accent. Here is a home interior design guide on how to decorate your space with wall art.

Shop for Wall Art by Room

Once you have decided what you want to use the room for, you can now choose a color theme to suit the function of the room. For example, mellow greens and neutrals for your 'quiet retreat room', lively yellow for the kids room, or pale tranquil blue for your office space.

bright colorful cartoon pictures for the kids room
mellow pastel floral pictures for your quiet retreat area, or
tranquil landscape and scenic pictures for your office space

Choose your Style

Like paint color, artwork can immediately establish or change a room's mood.

Fun & Entertaining: Pictures can include bright colors both in the print and on the frame. For example, frame traditional black and white photo prints in a modern black iron frame.

Arranging and Hanging your Pictures

Modern Gallery Look: To create a modern art gallery feel, particularly nice in hallways, lobbies and stairwells, give each piece ample breathing room. When you have decided on the room's function, color and style, you are in a much better position to go shopping for wall pictures that fit in with the overall theme.
