Modern Furniture Decorating Ideas for your Home


The house, apartment, loft, room or cottage, whatever it may be 'home' to you is a reflection of your personality. It's your sanctuary away from the maddening crowd. Making it cozy and comfortable yet pleasing to the eye and giving you the peaceful retreat you need is important. Modern interior furniture provides you with a host of ideas to chose from.

You may have just left home to live on your own ; may be that you have upgraded your dwelling from your university 'digs'; may be you have found a place closer to work. You need to personalize your dwelling - a part of your outfit, which is very important.

Decorating your 'home' and planning it you'll suddenly need storage space- 'a place for every little thing is vital' There's nothing you want to lose; childhood mementos, souvenirs of school achievements, loving gifts treasured for years, things that you would love to give or show your child one day-the list is endless.

The storage unit on offer today is amazing. Hang on units, corner units with their revolving shelves, in variant colors and shapes to fit every nook and corner is there for you. They add color, presence and are of great utility value. The coffee table, the dining table, the chopping counter, the bed side table - they are a simple blend of elegance and functionality.

The contemporary decorative ideas are all about clean lines and less clutter. They are ideal for small apartments, city lofts or anyone looking for space and style. The different furniture suggestions in decorating for your kitchen, the dining room, the bedroom or the living room are works of art providing interest and visual appeal.

The lighting details add a sense of space to your living room, coziness to your bedroom, a welcome note to the kitchen and mystery to your bathroom making you relax in your bath or in the shower. Lighting up the wall first seen as you enter gives a feeling of space as much as flooding light into the four corners of your living room. Pendants and spot lights can light up the walls better adding an overall ambience. Keeping the ceilings clear without lighting, moldings or any decorative effects make them look higher. Light and brightness in the colors chosen for the room gives an added height to the ceiling increasing the sense of space.

Paints are available in many colors and textures. Water based acrylic paints offer a variety of advantages. They have no acrid smell and dry out very fast. Working with them is very easy and the colors are versatile enough to create the atmosphere you want.

An urban oasis can be created by creating a natural environment with woven screening or adding bowls and willow. Large format posters can cover whole walls with golden beaches, woodlands or digital murals. Ideas are abound. Decide on the effect you want created and modern decorative ideas offer options to suit every mood and taste
