Furnishing My Home!

If you wish to add some lighting fixtures to your home but have lack of space, wall scones can be used instead of table or floor lamps. Wall scones can jazz up a boring wall as well as provide a beautiful accent to artwork.  They only require a small wall space and yet can provide enough light to light up the whole room.  There are many types of wall scones in the market today. A single bulb wall sconce is great for the bedroom, small living room or dining room.  You can even choose to install a wall scone that uses candles instead of light bulb.  A great way to display your favourite candles and are perfect for entryway or hallway.

You can add a touch of sophistication and artistic elegance to your wall with this functional and stylish wall mounted magazine rack.  It does not take any floor space.  The Rosendahl Wallpaper magazine rack consists of two wave-shaped aluminium plates and can hold four standard magazines folded in half.  With or without magazines, this rack makes a design statement in your living room.  You can get this desinger magazine rack from HomeTemptations.com.

You can also add a tropical touch in your room by hanging this Boards At The Beach metal wall decoration.  It is very funky and fun.

Another thing you could do is to brighten up your home with fuschia, bright yellows and lime greens.  You can also enhance your home with furniture or ornaments made from wicker, rattan, wood or bamboo to complete the tropical look.  I would love to go on one of those Disney cruises next summer.  Perhaps, I should start decorating one of the rooms with a Disney theme? I am sure my toddler will be ecstatic.

Most of us have boring standard white switchplates in our homes.  If you are redecorating your home and have just added a new coat of paint to your wall, it is a good idea to change the switchplates too.  Besides decorating, these switchplates will also do a great job of hiding smudges and fingerprints.  There are a lot of choices out there and if you are looking for some unique and funky ones, do check out Etsy.com.

Bored at looking at the plain walls in your home?  A great solution is to hang some of these unique panels on the wall.  The floating triangles in these panels are hand-assembled and made from sustainable wood.  What an interesting decor element for the wall eh?  Great in the living room or even your bedroom.   If these unique panels are your cup of tea, do check them out at VivaTerra.com.

There are many ways to accessorize your home and using mirrors is one of them.  Mirrors do not belong in the bathrooms anymore.  You can hang them anywhere you like and they are a great addition to a room.  Mirrors come in all shapes and designs.  I found these adorable painted mirrors, inspired by vintage design from UrbanOutfitters.com.  Besides making the room look more spacious and brighter, they can transform the bare walls into a work of art. 

Decorate your wall with this whimsical clock.  I am sure it will bring a smile to your guests’ lips when they see it.   This fun clock is great for the office too, as most people tend to be stressful trying to meet deadlines.   The Whatever Wall Clock is made of ceramic and wood.   A fun gift idea for those who have everything or whose time schedule is “whatever” :D  Grab one now at Homedecor.cafepress.com.

Decorating a children’s bedroom is a fun and exciting project.  You can use creative ideas to make the room wonderful and cosy.  If you want to createa unique look, then removable wall art is the best solution.  Removable wall art is easy to apply and also allows flexibility.  They can be removed when your child is older.  All you need to do is to paint the wall with the desired color.  Then apply the wall art to create the final look.  The above farmyard wall art is from BoscoBear.com.au.

One of the ways to add more interest to your walls is to add some art or decorations.  I really like this Teak Lotus wall panel which is made from recycled rough-hewn teak planks from old buildings in Thailand.  This beautiful intricate lotus flower motif panel is hand-carved, sand and waxed by native craftsmen.
