Is decorating a small room a difficult task for you? To help turn that home decorating idea into a reality, start by thinking back to where you have lived during your lifetime. Were there one or two rooms that quickly come to mind and were very special to you? Chances are one of those rooms was a small room that you could snuggle up in and feel comfortable, happy and secure. Let the following home decorating ideas spark your creativity and make decorating that small space a reality.

In a multifunctional living space think about the size of furniture in regards to your living style. Could you use a compact computer work station instead of a full-size desk? What about a love seat instead of a full-size couch? Or, opt for a suitably proportioned couch for relaxing and watching a movie.

Don’t overlook the use of ottomans as a home decorating idea. They can be easily moved around the room to suit the needs of the day. They also provide extra seating for guests.

Another home decorating idea for a small room is to hang your flat-screen TV on the wall, thus, eliminating the need for an entertainment center or armoire. Many newer homes have a corner alcove for the television which solves the television stand dilemma.

Why use “a touch of red” in your home decorating idea? Red is the warmest of all colors and symbolizes vitality, energy, action and confidence. It makes a bold statement and is, incidentally, the color most chosen by extroverts. This article gives practical tips on using “a touch of red” in your home interior as well as suggestions for using “a touch of red” in various decorating styles.

In feng shui decorating, red is associated with power, love, inspiration and pleasure. Accent colors, such as red, which are more dramatic, are used in moderation, such as a single piece of art work or furniture. The reason is: the more intense the color, the less of it is needed for it to be effective. Thus, use lighter colors for larger areas with accents in more vibrant, dramatic colors. What an interesting home decorating idea!

A recent home decorating idea in our home became a reality by using “the touch of red” concept. Window coverings were installed on a series of three windows in the dining area. The coverings consisted of four vertical drapery panels made out of wool tapestry-looking fabric. The background of the fabric is medium tan with subtle red, green and blue flowers. The panels are outlined in a navy/small beige polka-dot fabric. A 6-inch cornice board covered with the same navy fabric completes the look. This window treatment may sound quite “busy” but is very pleasing to the eye.
