Interior Decorating Ideas

Every man has a dream of the perfect rec room in their home.  Whether it's a basement fully decked out to be the sports center of your dream, or a side room down the hall with a built in bar, there are many options to creating a good looking man den.  One of the first things you will want to look at to give the room the perfect touch is seating.   If you are looking to punch up the style of your home, consider red bar stools. Why red bar stools? Because bar stools are versatile pieces of furniture which can be used in nearly any area of your home, and there are actually many different types of red bar stools that can add a wide range of  themes depending on what exactly you're looking for.  Using a bar stool in the color red acts to accentuate the piece and make it a visible style element in any room.

Red bar stools can obviously be used at your kitchen or dining room island area to add a colorful seating touch. Many people prefer more neutral colors in these areas. By using red bar stools you add a unique addition that lets your kitchen or dining room area stand out.

Another place to use red bar stools is in a living room or entry way. Just use the bar stool to hold a potted plant, a treasured photo or any work of art. The red color of the bar stool automatically draws the eye to that piece. Also, by using a bar stool rather than merely a table or easel to display these objects, you are again creating a simple, yet unusual and dramatic style element to your home.

So next time you are shopping for a great addition to your home furnishings, consider red bar stools for the different areas of your home.

Once you have selected the perfect fireplace mantel for your home, the next consideration is how to properly decorate it. Essentially, there is no right or wrong way of decorating as its all a matter of personal preference more than anything. It does, however, help to know the various methods of decorating that may help you choose which arrangement best suits your style.

Balance Your Mantel

One of the most popular types of decorating when it comes to fireplace mantels is symmetrical design. This basically means having pieces on either side of teh mantel in similar or matching sizes that balance each other out. This works best when you have a pair of matching candlesticks you can display on either side, or two family photos in matching frames to display. There is typically a large center piece displayed on the mantel itself or hung above it, such as a piece of artwork or a mirror. Symmetrical decorating is beautiful, although some people find it too formal for their tastes.

Slightly Off Balance

Just as symmetrical decorating is all about balance, asymmetrical decorating is just the opposite. With this style, it is common to use a large decorative object on one side of the fireplace mantel, and a smaller items, or group of items, on the other side. While not completely mismatched, the balance tends to shift down from one side of the mantel to the other. Care should be taken to maintain an overall theme, however, by using items similar in design or color scheme to keep the visual effect cohesive.

Center Your Style

For larger mantels, a centered design often works well. This essentially uses one larger decorative piece surrounded by smaller pieces in the center of the mantel. It creates a center focal point while also giving the opportunity to display an array of smaller items.

Keep It Simple, Or Not

The other two styles of decorating are completely opposite of one another. The first is to select only one main item to display on or above your fireplace mantel. This gives a very clean and sophisticated appearance. The other is to put whatever you want to on the mantel with the belief that the more, the better. This often provides a warmer, more family oriented style.

Some people are intimidated when it comes to choosing a specific style of decor for their homes.  Truth be told, the majority of households today are most likely a combination of styles unless someone in the family has made a true effort to bring a specific theme into prominence.  Some of the more common themes are country and contemporary, but some people like to take on something just a little bit different.  A very elegant style that has made a resurgence in popularity is art deco design.

Art deco is a style based on geometric designs and elegant stylings.  Shiny metals like chrome and silver are often found accenting curves and lines.  The style is simple, but drips of elegance.  To get an idea of what art deco looked like in its original form, one should check out images from the latter part of the 1920's through the end of the 1930's.  The style can be seen in everything from art deco furniture to architecture.  One of the most famous examples of this style in architecture is the Empire State Building.

Although the style originated in France, the United States grabbed on to it and fell in love with it.  Houses build during the time borrowed elements of the style in not only the architecture itself, but also in every aspect of the decor used in the houses.  Mirrors, light fixtures, and wall hangings all were based on the shiny metals and elegant lines.

The style fell out of grace for a while as the country focused on the war effort during the forties.  Rationing and other factors led the nation to change its priorities.  Other decor styles became more popular, but art deco never really went away.  When the 1980's arrived, the United States was ready to dust off the old style and make it new again.  Art deco came back into the popular culture and it is still popular today.  For an elegant look that shows an appreciation for a truly classic vintage movement, art deco is hard to beat.
