Generally, you are not allowed to do major interior redecorating when you rent an apartment. There may still be restrictiointerior4.jpgns on what you can do with the home’s interior if the landlord does not want to see major alterations of the home. Sad part right? Extensive decorating work such as replacing the flooring, tearing down wallpaper or adding skylights and dimmed lights might not be considered acceptable by some landlords. Reading and understanding your lease is the first thing you need to do. The lease contract might clearly prohibit certain improvements. So better ask for their permission too. It is unlikely that the lease will spell out each and every possible type of interior decor activity, so check with the landlord before making modifications to the rental house. If possible, obtain a written authorization from the landlord of your proposed redecorating ideas.

All you need to do is determine what type of furniture your room can support and set a budget. Setting a  realistic price expectations, based on how long you want the furniture to last and your style preferences. An expensive, well-constructed piece of furniture can really be worth it in the long run, especially if you use it in a high-traffic area. Keep in mind that furniture durability depends on construction, the people who is going to use the furniture, and how it’s used and not basically of the price. If you got kids? You’ll need stain-resistant furniture that wears well. Popular furniture trends often revolve around practical furniture designed for rooms that get a lot of use.

 

 

Color Matters

The biggest challenge in home designing is choosing your color scheme. When deciding on colors it’s important to know what effect that color will have on your moods. Loving a color and living with it are two different things.

The color wheel shows the relationship of colors. Most color wheels are based on three primary colors, three secondary colors, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colors, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors. Other color wheels, however, are based on the four opponent colors, and may have four or eight main colors.

A number of interactive color wheel applications are available both on the internet and as desktop applications. These programs are used by artists and designers to simplify the task of picking matching colors for a design.

1.jpgThe ‘70s is an interesting era that is now being revived by the interior designers worldwide. It is best remembered for the bright colors. Home decorators then were allured with the combinations of various patterns put together in a single place. The patterns are geometric and bright and there are many shiny and smooth surfaces that contrast one another.
