Let's review the "basics" of decorating with accessories. Every accessory doesn't have to exactly balance--too much balance is boring! Instead, put things where they are pleasing to the eye and that add interest to an area. You can't go wrong if you use the largest or most prominent object in a grouping as the focal point and balance other pieces around it.
Less may be more-don't let your home look like a secondhand store. Choose to display those things that hold some sort of importance to you, such as personal treasures passed down from family members or items you purchased while traveling. Combining memories with the décor in your home is a long-standing practice of successful home decorating.
Home decoratingideas include decorating with items that you use on a regular basis, such as recipe books in the kitchen, a decorative wall clock in the living room, or a wine rack in the dining area.
Current home decorating trends highlight comfort colors-bisque and wheat neutrals, dark brown with pumpkin orange and lovely grays. Painting a room is a quick and fun way to freshen its appearance.
Part of the appeal of a well-designed living space is how eagerly it welcomes you. Does it encourage you to be comfortable and feel relaxed? Each room of your house should be a "living room" and be lived in with comfort and ease. A cozy space with a friendly feel is a current trend in home decorating.
Going for a "collected" look in furniture and home décor instead of everything matching in a room is also a current trend.
Though it is important to keep in mind that anything you adore is "in" for your own home, don't assume that the most fashionable item is always the most expensive. Try combining home décor from big box stores with your pricier furniture and accessories. This home decoratingidea can be used in every room of your home.

Sure you decorate your fireplace and mantel for the winter holidays, but don't forget this important focal point in your room as Spring approaches. Here are some nearly-instant ideas for springtime and Easter fireplace decorating:
Daffodils in crystal or glass vases on each end of your mantel bespeak the coming of Spring. Tie a wired chiffon ribbon in a soft spring hue in a bow around each vase for a nice touch.
March a line of fluffy chicks across your mantel. Five or more chicks, whether stuffed toys, porcelain hens, or craft store chickens, make a cute display.
And speaking of stuffed toys, now is a great time to find those old stuffed bunnies and ducks and turn them into mantel ornaments. Add Easter grass, and scatter decorated eggs along the mantel to keep them company.
Tie wired gingham-checked ribbons into bows, and attach them to the edge of your mantel. Let the ends of each bow hang down various lengths from one to three feet. At the end of each ribbon, open a plastic egg, tape the ribbon's end inside the egg, and force the egg shut. This creates a set of eggs dangling at different heights.
Bring out your glass, crystal, white, and pastel candle holders of different heights for your mantel. Select a trio of springtime colors such as lavender, pink and eggshell or aqua, pale green, and soft yellow. Use pastel candles in some of the candle holders. In others, perch decorated Easter eggs (real, plastic, wooden, or glass).
The ideas above are great for your fireplace's mantel, but what's a terrific way to decorate your fireplace itself? Fireplace candelabra are the perfect accessories. And using candles in the shape of decorated Easter eggs in your fireplace candelabra is a super-simple, but visually dramatic way to decorate for the season. (Just don't be too surprised if the Easter Bunny replaces one of the candle-eggs with a chocolate one!)

Spring symbolizes many things, the renewal of life by plants and animals...And of birth itself. It is also full of wonderful colors and animals that can be incorporated into a baby shower theme without breaking the bank.
The easiest theme idea is to use color. Spring is full of baby friendly pastel colors: blue, pink, yellow, lavender and green. Combine colors for a trendy look: green and pink or blue and yellow.
There are lots of baby animals that are associated with spring: bunnies, chicks, ducklings, and lambs to name a few. Purchase stuffed animals to decorate the shower, perhaps as table centerpieces. After the shower mom-to-be can take them home for baby's nursery.
Decorate using mostly solid colors. Solid color tablecloths, paper goods (plates, cups and napkins) and cutlery are almost always less expensive than baby shower themed goods. These solid color items can also be used after the shower if there are any leftovers. Then supplement the solid colors with baby shower themed decorations: balloons, confetti or banners.
If you are preparing your own food for the shower use ingredients that are in season. This tip is especially useful if you are preparing food for a large number of guests.
Take advantage of spring related sales and coupons at craft, general or toy stores. For example, if you are planning a baby shower which will take place after Easter, you should be able to find stuffed animals, chocolates or even pastel colored paper goods on sale.
Use in season flowers to decorate tables. Stay away from strong scented flowers, such as hyacinths. While they are beautiful flowers some guests may find their scent to be too strong.
You can take advantage of in season products and seasonal sales to make your baby shower elegant, affordable and don't forget adorable!
Among the most vital ingredients of an event that focuses on exchanging vows are wedding flowers. This is because they are actually responsible in providing color and attractiveness to that special occasion. They can also transform a plain area into something amazing. Take note however that there are budget issues to be considered, and that it is but normal for beginners to be confused when selecting the type of buds to make use of.
Getting married can be very costly, which is why finding ways to save money is a must. One of the most expensive parts of the said event is the purchase of blooms that will not only be used as a bridal bouquet, but also as part of the decorations of the venue. To get the best deal, it is important to use those that are readily available. Avoid off season ones. If it is the time of year for your particular choices, they will not cost that much of a fortune. It is also advisable to discuss with your florist and inform her of the maximum amount of money you are willing to spend.
Remember to speak with the flower shop staff about any color scheme you may have in mind; do not forget to also remind her of the kinds you hate. You also have to order in advance for more flexibility. In this way, the staff will be able to find the cheapest products that will suit the requirements that you have.
The date of your nuptials may also affect the price of the flora. Avoid having February ceremonies because the prices are sure to soar because of Valentine's Day. It may be best to hold the affair immediately during the Holiday season e.g. Easter, as most churches will surely be garlanded during that time, allowing you to order only a few items.
Try to find venues like gardens or parks that will definitely lush and beautiful enough, which means that you may not need to arrange for a lot of decorations, therefore helping you save a lot. If your function room also has another matrimonial party, why not have a talk with the other couple and decide to split the cost for more savings that will benefit you both.
You may also go for the most affordable blossoms such as carnations. Though they may not seem as beautiful as roses or tulips, when packed together, they can really look remarkable, not to mention quite inexpensive as compared to other types. Another good scheme will be to rent potted plants like tropical palms that will help fill the space, aside from relying only on blossom arrangements.
Do not be hasty when it comes to purchasing your wedding flowers. If you really want to stick to your budget, make a general checklist first and know what you need before discussing with a floral expert. Make it a point for your choices to match your marriage plans. They should also be reasonably priced without sacrificing quality and aesthetics.
