  • 10 Common Decorating Mistakes to Avoid - Are you guilty of any of these decorating blunders? HGTV designer Karl Lohnes and leading custom window fashions manufacturer Hunter Douglas have put together a top-ten list of the all-time most often made decorating mistakes.
  • A Casual Kitchen - This simple Three-Step Method is the secret of every interior ever designed. A successful room is functional. A successful room expresses a mood. A successful room exhibits a sense of harmony. How do they work? How can you apply them?
  • A Kid Friendly Bathroom - While grown-ups often love luxuriating in a nice long shower or a soothing hot bath, getting the kids to soap up can sometimes be enough to work you into a lather. To make bath time more of a pleasure and less of a pain, why not spruce up the kids' bathroom, just for them?
  • Awaken Your Home With Autumn's Aromas - Fall is fast approaching and along with the new season, we associate several of autumns traditions. One of my autumn favorites are the spicy, aromatic scents that brings to mind the fall season.
  • Beautifying Your Home - As a frequent traveler, I'm often amazed at how dramatically my mood changes depending on where I am staying. I have stayed in some very nice hotels that were so warm and welcoming that I loved being in my room. Other rooms were so dark and uninviting I found my mood spiraling downward. Our environment and surroundings play a huge part in how we feel on a day-to-day basis. Think about it. When your home is messy, chaotic, cluttered, and filled with piles, how do you feel? My guess would be "stressed" is amongst the adjectives that top your list. Likewise, when our homes are clean and straightened we feel more at peace.
  • Colors: Perk It Up With Teal - If you want to perk up your decor but you still want to keep the look subtle, teal green may be the color you're looking for. It can add a note of interest without taking over the whole room, and adds light and a splash of special color.
  • Decorating + Pets = Fish Tanks - A fish tank won't only benefit the kids; it can also be a boon to your interior design. One function of the living room is to encourage conversation among guests or family members. A fish tank can make a terrific conversation piece...
  • Decorating Organizational Tips - Nothing is more frustrating, that to be out shopping, when you spot a picture, bedspread, or accessory that you love but are not sure if it will match in your home. Here is a tip that may help you shop more effectively:
  • Decorating to Sell Your House - Even in the best of markets, it takes a lot more than just putting up a sign and vacuuming the living room to sell your home. How do you decide what to spend your time and money on, and where you’re better off holding back, in order to prepare your home for a sale?
  • Dinnerware - If you looked at your holiday table and wondered how you'd manage to match the blue-rimmed plates you got in college with the white basket-weave plates you received as a wedding gift, it may be time to take in consideration the importance of dinnerware in your decorating plans.
  • Elegant Bows for Easy Holiday Decor - Holiday decorating is easier than you think. By using bows, fashioned from inexpensive ribbons, your house, whether inside or out, can be festive and inviting! With a simple shoelace bow and a little maneuvering, you too can add these lovely elegant touches to your home's decor.
  • Halloween Decorative Pillows - Halloween is a great holiday - for children of all ages! Officially, Halloween is celebrated on October 31, but my decorating partner, Matt Fox, and I see no reason why the fun should be limited to a single day.
  • Improve The Quality Of Your Outdoor Space And Patio - It's easy to get overwhelmed trying to figure out just how to bring an outdoor room together to make it a peaceful spot to relax or enjoy quality time with friends and family. But if you think of it as yet another room to decorate and furnish, the space will come together more easily.
  • It's the Little Things: Drinking Glasses - Over the years, many of us have acquired a collection of differently-shaped and sized drinking glasses as if they were hallmarks from a lost time: One free 32-ounce plastic cup with neon lettering from a fast-food restaurant, a set of pint-sized glasses for lemonade on sale from a discount retailer, and perhaps even your toddler’s sippy cup, somehow all end up gracing your table.
  • Maintaining Your Summertime Bathroom - Do your bathrooms get a workout during the summer? Due to the warmer weather, families spend more time outside so showers and baths become more frequent. Most of us work up a sweat and the dirt seems to cling better to our skin.
  • One Room Apartment to Tuscan Villa - Making your one room apartment into a Tuscan villa can stretch the limits of your imagination. Tuscan villa, French chateau, English cottage or Santa Fe adobe-whatever your dream decor may be, there are basic rules of design that will help.
  • Outside Country Touches - Decorating for Christmas doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. The simple touches are often the most elegant and the ones that receive the most comments. Here are some decorating ideas for outside your home which will help your family and your neighbors stay in the Christmas Spirit throughout the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
  • The Rec Room - If you're lucky enough to have a refinished basement and a couple of kids, chances are you have what's known in America as a "rec room."
