Four Great Decorating Styles

You can get a great look in your home by choosing from one of the many decorating styles that are in vogue today. Some like an antique look, some like retro and others like modern. For some a unique theme is the key and for others it is color. But if you are stuck on how to decorat your home, you might consider one of the styles below. Contemporary - Go for a minimalist feel and get rid of the clutter. Sleek lined furniture and accents are best. A monochromatic color scheme works well, or neutrals like black, white and beige. Chrome and mahogany go well with the contemporary look. Retro - Today there is a lot of nostalgia for the past and decorating in the style of the 50's, 60's or 70's is quite popular. Go with vintage colors and try to buy vintage items for unique flair. Cottage Chic - This is a comfortable and relaxed style. Chippy painted accessories and vintage fabrics go well. For furniture go with overstuffed sofas. Accents should be either garden or seashore themed. Safari - Load your room up with plants and animal themed accents. Use fabrics that are patterned like zebra, tiger and leopard stripes.

Happy Decorating
