Apply Color Matching Reasonably, Make the Living Quality of Home more Lively


The Concept of Color Matching

When refer to color matching, we must always think of the chromatology. Yes! You can refer to indeed, but here we only want to share the concept with you simply, a basic not to do principle of color matching is "top-heavy, and too many strong contrasts". This is a simple pithy formula, and more explication about it please see following:




(1) Avoid "Top-Heavy"


In a space, color of the ceiling should avoid too deep or too dim, which will bring your home in a top-heavy situation, will make you felt like living in caves. The best choice of color matching is: choosing the palest.color for ceilings, the next is the flooring, and put the color focus on the walls.

(2) Avoid "Too Many Contrasts"

The color matching of home decorating should emphasizes on coordination, comfort, and could taking people feelings of relaxation, so you should avoid adding too many strong colors which will add visual fatigue. Reducing use of contrasted colors and using same colors as far as possible, a coordinated color matching will make you feel more relaxed and easy in home.

However, we are not say contrasting colors can not be used, the interior design of home should strived for a total integration, just like a concerto which could giving people a whole look and feel, and a small amount of variations and a few strong designs also could formed a kind of embellishment and a style with focus while not obtrusive…

Look at Colors via the Five Elements Theory



Colors can also be explained through the five elements theory. White on behalf of gold, red on behalf of fire, blue and black on behalf of water, green on behalf of wood, and yellow, brown, beige, khaki on behalf of soil.

In the Five Elements theory, gold inter-restricts wood, wood inter-restricts soil, soil inter-restricts water, water inter-restricts fire, fire inter-restricts gold, but also antagonistic symbiosis with each other, gold inter-generates water, water inter-generates wood, wood inter-generates fire, fire inter-generates soil.

For a simple example, matching red with black will form an inter-restriction pattern of water and fire, conflicted but personalized.

Matching black with yellow, just as covering soil with water and build a dike to prevent from dike breaking, thus produce a kind of warning meanings virtually.

Matching red with yellow will formed a pattern of fire generates earth, the fire flared up more, and more earth will be generated, which formed a strong impression, an effect of very warm.

Use the five elements theory to explain the color matching method, it is simple and easy to understand, the using ratio of inter-restricted colors should be minimized to the best, because they all belongs to contrasted colors, and colors used to highlight personality or characteristics should be selected modestly, and be sure to avoid too much, too many features also means no feature.

Inter-generated colors also should be used more cautious, and avoid too much inclination to a certain kind of feeling, for example, if you using cold colors in the whole room, the home will full of sensations of coldness.

Use Rustic Home Furnishings to Create a Country Home in the City (down)

Rustic used to mean 'rickety and cheap', but rustic style is all grown up and now borders on sophisticated and trendy. Beautiful woods, polished logs, and twiggy charm has made rustic one of the most popular styles in the market today. Steven Spielberg has some. So does Sharon, Rick, and Rosanna. And even with all of that popularity and charm, it is, thankfully, one hot trend that is still easily affordable.



Other natural materials that can worked into the overall design are stones, perhaps for a fireplace, flagstones for an entry way, and such items as evergreen branches and pinecones. The evergreen is especially popular for Christmas decorating, though pinecones are interesting accents for rustic home furnishings at anytime of the year. The outdoors can be brought into the house by potting native plants in stoneware or earthenware crockery, pottery, or terra cotta containers.

When Solomon, the wise king of the Old Testament, built the Temple of God, he used many precious stones and much fine gold. But he also used natural materials. "Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. . . . . And the greater house he paneled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim" (2 Chronicles 3:3, 5-6).

Find lots of decorative accessories for a rustic interior, including lamps, clocks, candle holders, and much more. AND Bring color, texture and charm to your home with rustic furniture for the 21st century.





The Temple of God was uniquely designed and magnificently furnished. The royal style will never be confused with rural elements. But the design incorporated motifs and themes that were significant to the Israelites. This significance can be incorporated into country home furnishings by using items that invoke memories and traditions. Family photographs, treasured heirlooms, and cherished mementos can be artfully and tastefully displayed to invoke tradition and heritage. Needlework created by beloved family members can be transformed into creative wall hangings.

Even a quilt, if properly handled, can be displayed as a work of art. Many people make a hobby of finding unique items to add to their rustic home furnishings by visiting flea markets, antique stores, online auction sites, or thrift shops. Yard sales (known as tag sales in some parts of the country) are a great source for finding that perfect piece at a discounted price. For lots of people, the hunt is as much fun as acquiring something new.

No matter where a person lives, in an urban high-rise, a suburban ranch house, a rural farmhouse, or a wilderness log cabin, country decorating can create a relaxing and comfortable environment for family and friends. Natural materials, treasured heirlooms, and unique collectibles add to the rooted ambience of both country and rustic home furnishings.



Other furniture, such as tables, bookshelves, and an entertainment unit may be weathered or painted pine or perhaps crafted from aspen logs. Some pieces may be lightly painted in neutral colors or blues or greens. A red-barn color palette is also popular for country home furnishings. Coarse and unfinished pieces are perfect choices for this decorating style.

One of the fastest ways to add a dose of interest to a home is to bring in some textures. Rustic furnishings do that with charm and style.

Use Rustic Home Furnishings to Create a Country Home in the City (up)

Bring the beauty and warmth into your home with our prints, rustic decor, home furnishings and kitchenware. From whimsical to dramatic, you'll find something to please everyone in your family with rustic home furnishings.


For many city dwellers, rustic home furnishings are a way to escape the hectic urban lifestyle for the peaceful tranquility of rural living. When it's impossible to leave the corporate rat race behind, an urban apartment or city house decorated in rustic home furnishings can be a relaxing place to unwind after a stressful day at the office.

Country decorating utilizes natural materials as much as possible and decorative items that look handmade even when they aren't. Wooden floors may be polished to sheen, yet have characteristic marks from decades of being walked on. Braided rugs are scattered about, providing texture and warmth. The walls may be painted in neutral shades or earth tones, or perhaps papered in small floral patterns or bold country motifs.

For those living on country farms or in mountain cabins, the rustic decorating style is a natural choice that showcases the tradition of a farming heritage. And for those who live in-between, the suburbanites, upscale country home furnishings can provide a comfortable gathering place for family and friends to enjoy each other's company, or to relax after a long commute.


Popular designs incorporate such elements as apples, floral wreaths, roosters, birdhouses, hearts, and Americana folk art for borders or to be used either above or below chair railing or crown molding. Wide borders with bold patterns complement smaller matching designs, checks, stripes, or plaids that can be used for larger wall areas.

A bear or moose motif may be used with more rustic home furnishings to create a log cabin ambience or to bring the feel of wilderness living into the dwelling. Chandeliers that look like wagon wheels or that are made from antlers, whether authentic fixtures or reproductions, are common lighting elements for rustic decorating.

From moose wall plates and elk switch plates, to bear coat hooks and deer towel bars, loon key holders and pinecone or leaf curtain swag holders, we are your source for rustic metal art decor featuring wildlife and fish themes for decorating your log home, lodge, cottage and log cabin. Our rustic bath accessories and bathroom, decor furnishings and lighting compliment each other perfectly.A dark brown leather sofa fits perfectly in a country theme, especially when teamed up with either complementary or contrasting upholstered chairs.

Comfort is a primary factor when it comes to selecting seating for the rustic dwelling. Throw pillows and curtains can be made from the same fabric to add a unified look to the room, though window shutters are an innovative alternative to traditional drapes when it comes to window treatments. A stack of folded quilts, perhaps piled in an open trunk or a large basket, invites family and friends to wrap themselves up on chilly evenings while watching television or reading a good book. Or handmade afghans can be draped over the back of the sofa and chairs. Such simple decorating elements provide a hospitable feel to a family room.



Another idea for bringing elements of nature into the house is to arrange a small collection of bird houses on a plant shelf or countertop. Other collectibles can also be displayed, perhaps rag dolls or stuffed teddy bears.


Baskets, in a variety of shapes and sizes, are also an integral element of country decorating whether handmade or mass-produced. To add additional interest, baskets can be lined with calico prints or trimmed in lace, filled with balls of yarn and embroidery projects, or hold freshly baked cookies for mid-afternoon snacking.

Find a Beautiful Canopy Bed to Create a Romantic Bedroom


A crown canopy makes a dramatic statement in a room. Long fabric panels fall from under a valance top section, making a sweep of color and style that is unforgettable.


A canopy bed may sound exotic and out of reach. But really, a canopy bed can be made with a simple swag of fabric or by constructing an elaborate draped treatment. Our article about canopy beds will give you lots of ideas and pictures of simple and not-so-simple styles of canopy beds that will help to add romance to your
bedroom.

The easiest way to create a simple canopy for your bed is to hang a piece of fabric over the top frame rails of a structured canopy bed.

But if your bed doesn't have a canopy frame, there are other ways to get the look of a canopy and to surround your bed in softness and color.

You can achieve a very attractive canopy bed look by installing curtain rods to the ceiling, placing one over each end of the bed. Using either tab-top, tie-top, pinch-pleated or gathered panels, attach the fabric to each curtain rod and let it drape softly to the floor. You can also attach a short rod to the ceiling, perpendicular to the head of the bed on each side. Hang the panels to the floor and tie back with a drapery tieback.

There's really not anything that can make a bedroom feel romantic the way a canopy bed can. Our article shows many styles of canopies and bed hangings that can turn a ho-hum bedroom into something really spectacular.




A dramatic crown canopy, also called a coronet, looks elegant in any bedroom. Attach panels of fabric around the outer edge of a half-circle of 3/4" plywood. This half-circle can be attached directly to the ceiling or floated just off the ceiling with L-brackets attached to the wall.

You can add a romantic look to a plain-Jane bed by draping long fabric panels through a wooden or metal ring attached to the ceiling above the center of the head of the bed. Draw the fabric panel through the ring, pulling it down to the floor on either side of the bed. Spread the panels out to display more fabric and frame the bed or drape the panels around the bed posts at the head of the bed.

Another simple treatment is to install a ring on the ceiling at both sides of the head of the bed and draw the long fabric panel through both rings. Swag the area between the two rings at the ceiling to form a lush top frame for your bed. The panels should extend to the floor on both sides of the bed.

If you install 4 rings, one at each corner of the bed, try drawing a long panel of fabric through each one. Be sure one end of the panel at each ring goes all the way to the floor. With four panels of luxurious fabric draped above and down the sides of your bed, the look is very elegant.

You can really use any type of fabric you want to create a beautiful canopy bed. Traditional fabrics for canopies are chintz, silk, velvet,or tapestry. But you can achieve a fun look for a country setting with muslin or gingham or charming calico. You can also use sheets that coordinate with your bedding to construct the long panels for a uniform look.

For ease of use and simplicity of style, bed hangings are generally cut to touch the floor when hung. If you prefer a luxurious look, cut the panels 4" longer and "puddle" the fabric on the floor at the edge of the bed. Be sure to lift the panel when you need to vacuum the floor.

For a truly professional look, more body, and longer wear, add lining to the panel of fabric or use a coordinating print or solid for the back of the panel. After all, the inside and outside of the panel will both show when you swag it. Add borders, fringe, ribbon trim, and cording. Coordinate trims with tiebacks, adding color, texture, and body. Remember that a tieback will pull the fabric off the floor, so cut the panels slightly longer.



Go on to see more views of beautiful canopy beds and swag treatments. You're sure to see a style that will give a wonderful romantic look to your personal sanctuary.

Find a style of canopy bed that will fit your
decorating style and budget and create a really romantic bedroom just in time for Valentine's Day. Read More..

Choosing a Fantasy Bed Kids Have Their Heart Set On

Kids who dream of being Cinderella, cowboys, race car drivers, and more will feel right at home in these fantasy kids beds.

Parents can help to make those dreams come true in their child's room. Wonderful fantasy beds expand a decorating theme for any boy's or girl's dream room.

Castles, dragons, fairies, and royalty are written about in books and captured in the hearts of children everywhere. But they don't have to stay in a child's imagination!




What little princess wouldn't love to sleep in a golden coach? Do you know any race car driver who couldn't slow down enough to dream in a colorful model car? A future sailor can rock gently to sleep in his or her own private boat.

There might be more practical solutions to childhood sleep, but the fun that a fantasy bed brings to a child's life will more than make up for the added expense. And you'll always know where you child is, since your child's friends will want to play at your house and plan wonderful sleepovers!

"Talk to your children and find out what they like. A favorite book or color may be the decorating theme you're looking for." Pam Hallaron, the interior designer of PoshTots said, he also advises that whatever style bed is chosen for a child, "Make an occasion for child to remember the new bed. Get them excited about their new environment and they'll love spending time there.

Whether your purchase is for your child's fantasy bed -- or fulfills your own fanciful childlike desires -- these beds will set the tone for a terrific, creative kod's room.




Before the kids have their heart set on a specific bed, make sure your room has space to keep the bed in. Some of the beds come in strange or oversized shapes. Remember that some styles beds will require custom-made bedding.

Your child will undoubtedly outgrow the fantasy bed before it's worn out. And the novelty of a "golden coach bed" might get old before your child changes his or her interest or goes off to college.

Be ready for the added expense and have a place to store the fantasy bed once it's outlived its usefulness, anyway, probably you have no trouble at all finding another youngster who would love to dream in the fantasy bed.




Decorating kid's room can be lots of fun. But what do you do when you need to get it done in a real hurry? Could you make the decisions, do the work, and finish in time?
