Room Inspirations

by Maricar on May 4th, 2007

A picture paints a thousand words.

We’ve often heard that said, and it is so true in home decor. So, without further ado, here are some “thousand words” on finding the right look for any room.

* Play up white walls with simple furnishings, paired with splashes of color (via Architectural Digest)

* Employ redesigners (or be your own) to turn your living room from this:

* A monochromatic color scheme for the porch (via The Paramus Post):

    Great idea for a website, but the inspriations should be more ‘inspiring’. Try having the pictures a little more modern, or more up-to-date with today’s trends. Also show more space planning solutions; for instance, the second set of pictures (the one with the pool in background) show what to do with the furniture. Don’t just take some of the furniture out of the picture; show how to re-arrange furniture to make a more functional/comfortable space layout. Most people are not willing to go and throw away their furniture; they would rather ’spruce’ up things. Instead show different throw pillows, a nicer lamp shade, colorful candles, some ‘accent’ books or even a different wall paint. A nice change shown in the picture was the idea of more plants. Plants always give more life and character to a space. Alot of people are looking for ways to give a ‘lift’ in their houses, but don’t necessarily have the money to go out and buy all new furniture and accessories. This website has the potential of helping alot of people to get their creative juices flowing, and showing them the ‘how-to’s’ without breaking the piggy bank!
