Information Commentary: Silk Roses And More

In weddings, using silk or artificial flowers is a popular way to decorate for the occasion. The type of flower used the most to adorn weddings is the rose. However, roses are not just for weddings anymore: increasingly, they are being used as home dcor. The popularity of silk roses is due to the fact that they are very long-lasting, and the likeness is very realistic. If the roses are not well cared for, they will last a few years; if they are, they will stay beautiful for decades. There are many ways to decorate your house with rosesthey can be added to a garland draped over a mantelpiece, or they can adorn a vase on a side table. Silk roses are most beautifully displayed when the viewer can look directly at them, so make sure that they can be seen well from any viewpoint when they are placed in a display. Adding a scent to your roses also gives your home a nice touch.

Decorating with Greenery in the Home

One of the best things to remember when you're designing for home silk plants is the size of the plant. When you add plants to larger coffee tables and to dining room and kitchen tables, choose plants that are 1-2 feet high. Because these plants are meant to be noticed, choose ones with larger, less delicate leaves. However, choose taller, slimmer plants with long leaves when placing greenery in a corner. It just goes to show that good planning is the secret to a well decorated home. Finally, remember that there are some notable benefits to silk plants: not only do they look realistic, but they do not require a lot of extra care and their lifetime is three times greater than that of real plants.

Thoughts on Rearranging My Home

Every time I find myself in a craft store poring over the new selections, I begin again to think that if only I had this item or that decorative craft, then my house would look perfect. However, the item I buy does not always have the desired effectwith my dcor and with my bank account. All too often that purchase ends up leaving my home at the next yard sale. I have been surprised to discover that rearranging my furniture and decorations is often more satisfyingand flatteringthan adding something new. Sometimes I do something drastic (rearrange an entire room), and sometimes the change is more subtle (swapping this picture for that painting), but it still gives me the feeling of having a nice change in the house. It is the best of both worlds: I get the experience of interior decorating, and my bank account balance doesnt go down a penny!

A Different Way to Look at Decorating Your Home

It is a very rewarding experience to turn mundane areas of your home into something wonderful to look at. Interior decorating is special, because you get to interact every day with your masterpieces. You are not just producing something that looks nice; you are also concerned with practicality and usefulness. Often, flawless interior decorating is like make-up: the less you notice it, the better you did your job! A well-decorated house allows its occupants and guests to feel comfortable, inspired, and serene. Every one of us has some degree of interior design skill: we copy what we like, rearrange what we do not, and strive to live in the best environment possible.
