Eclectic decor with texture

Eclectic home decor is about showcasing ones unique experiences, travels and individual tastes. Home accessories, lighting and furniture tell the story of ones character. Utilizing personal experiences can create emotional and physical reactions to ones surroundings by stimulating the senses with smells, textures and images of past experiences. Eclectic accessories bring color, texture and form to a space and create visual interest. Eclectic decor in a home is often as complex as a couples marriage- tying two distinctively different peoples favorite styles and experiences into a seamless expression. Art can be a great way to showcase a family’s individuality while adding texture and color. Often it is great to keep a storage room with extra items so the home can have items and paintings circulated through the seasons to keep the house alive and ever changing. This is also a great way to keep ones self from becoming bored with their interior and personal effects. Keep a tickle trunk with throws, pillows, vases and candles to make quick scenery changes in any room to upgrade or simplify your space for guests or downtime.

RED Color Scheme

Laura C. Bielecki — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:15:03 +0000

The emotionally intense color red in North America positively evokes thoughts of joy, celebration, passion, lust, love and romance. This color can fight with itself between representing rage and anger to willpower and courage. It is North America’s second favorite color- the first being blue. It can stimulate the appetite which is why many restaurant designers include red elements in their designs. Red is the color most easily recognized by the human eye making it great for signage or standing out in a crowd. When it comes to color theory in Interior Design and decorating red is your number one knock out!

Below I am showing the seductive and romantic side of red that added in small touches can make any space have a passionate vibrance.
