Designing a Playroom - For Adults!

Many families incorporate a "Playroom" for their children. Where do the adults get to play? If you have the space, design a playroom just for the adults! Add equipment such as slot machines, a pool table and a personal bar! This will encourage adults to have a great time during a party and spark up many conversations.
Select a home bar that is attractive and accommodating! Guests will love sipping on their cocktail while enjoying the party! Your bar should have enough room for wine bottles, wine glasses and other essential "Bar Equipment". Your bartender won't complain!

Murals - The New Paintings

Add a look of exquisite style to any room with a hand painted mural.
Home Designer Tip:
Center a leather sofa in the middle of the room and hire a design artist to hand paint anything that you desire above the sofa!
This look is not only sophisticated but chic as well. Adding unusual artwork, such as a unique tropical pineapple to any room shows personalization as well as encourages comfort and relaxation.
Select a design artist that can duplicate an image that you already have show - such as a decoration on a pillow or curtain.

Accenting and Embellishing

When your home is completely furnished but needs a little "something" consider hand painted accessories such as wooden trays. These trays can be displayed in kitchens with display brackets. As an added touch, drape a throw blanket across the corner of your bed and lay the tray across the bed. This gives the distinct look of a "Bed and Breakfast" type of environment that encourages guests to feel more relaxed.

Rugs and Floor Coverings - Completing a Room

Decorating a room can be a hobby or a chore. The people that enjoy this task love to shop and find rare, conversation pieces to display on shelves and walls. Once you have filled your shelves, selected your furniture and mounted your pictures, it's time to think FLOORS! If you have a carpet, a small area rug might be a better idea under a coffee table. If the room that you are working on is where the frong door is located, a runner might be a grand entrance. Many art designers make "hand painted" rugs and floor coverings. This process can be quite interesting. Select a pattern or design that you like and bring it to the artist. The artist will then hand paint the design and perfect the image. A copier can transfer the image to the appropriate size rug and your room is now complete!

Designing Your Own Artwork

Selecting artwork from a store might seem like a good idea, but it really puts no personalization into your decor. Try enrolling in a painting class and creating your own artwork! Many towns offer local courses that offer one-on-one time with the instructor. These paintings will be conversation pieces for any guests in your house. Each course will help better your budding talents so that each piece that you accomplish will come out better than the previous!

Selecting a Custom Fabric and Designing

It is very simple to go into a furntiure store and select items. Unfortunately, this process eliminates adding any personal touches to your home decor. Select a unique fabric and purchase it by the yard. This enables you to create any pillow, sofa cover, window drapery - virtually anything that you desire. If you have an existing piece of artwork or design - find a designer that can hand create that look onto fabric. This will complete the look that you already have flowing through your home!
