Accent Your Home and Garden the Right Way
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Paula_M_Jo]Paula M Jo
We all want to make our house our home, so after the walls are done, and the furniture bought and placed, it's time to decorate. The most important way in making your home your castle and have that welcoming feeling is the decor and accents. This also means your garden and yard, because we spend alot of our time outdoors when the weather is nice. We like to entertain indoors and outdoors so just the right decor and accents bring out the complete feeling of home. A warm, welcoming, place where we feel safe, and enjoy being in and having our family and friends around us.
There are all kinds of home decor and accents to consider. Candles, Candle Holders,Vases, Mirrors, Pictures, Clocks, Figurines, Pillows, Statues, Ornaments, Indoors and Outdoors Fountains, Birdfeeders, Chimes, Birdhouses,Planters, Birdbaths, just to name a few. Use your own personality and themes. You can stick to one theme or you can pick several themes. This is entirely up to you. And the kids always have fun thinking of their own theme for their rooms.
Decorating can be so much fun, and isn't hard to do. Some of the things you might consider and might be helpful are if you have a room in your house that always seems a little dark, a great way to brighten it up is to add a mirror. Place the mirror on the darkest wall opposite a window, and then try to find a low hung light. This will allow the light to reflect off the mirror and reflect around the room. Also, remember a picture should be the feature of the wall, but never over power the room. It's a good idea to use a nice dark colored frame to highlight the image. Also, when considering vases, remember, nothing adds more accents to a room than beautifully colored vases. Try to find a vase that suits the character of the room. It should be in a contrasting color to the rest of the room.
Another important accent to consider are the pillows. Use pillows to brighten up your couch, sofa or chair. Try to find a contrasting color to the sofa and chair, but make sure you accent them with other accessories within the room. And remember a few plants or flowers here and there can add another accent and fragrance to a room, but try not to go overboard.
A few featured plants in beautiful vases is all you need. Now since you have all your rel=nofollow [http://cleanstar-homeandgardenworld.com/home-decor/view-all-products.html]home decor and accents it is all about displaying them on the walls, on shelves, tables or the walls. Even to set up a nice decor or accent piece on your floor always will be a great way to display it.
Decorating the garden and yard can be just as much fun as the inside of your home. This is where you spend lots of your time also, so you want to make it a peaceful and inviting as much as possible to watch the wildlife and nature around you. This is where you can just let go and really let your imagination take over. Just remember your wildlife friends when placing fountains, and birdhouses and birdfeeders. Don't be afraid to put accents on your fences, and buildings around your garden and yard. Put statues out, and hang several wind chimes around that cling in the gentle breeze. Running water from a fountain is so soothing and releases the stress and your birds will love it too.
So, now its up to you how you want to make your house your home. Be proud of what you decide, and don't be afraid to experiment. Decorating with accents and decor is really what makes a home and the love within ourselves. Be proud of what you decide, and don't be afraid to experiment.
