Now that you’ve got your new home you’ll want to think a bit about what you have to work with and what you might want to keep your eye’s open to add to your home decor, especially if you are working with small rooms in your home.
One tip is to get the essentials and get them organized to get the most from your rooms. Lights can be hung on the walls, saving space in the smaller rooms. A small but nice area rug to put your feet on when you rise in the morning is a nice touch, everyday. A simple artwork on the wall is nice to keep the walls from seeming to close, but you’ll want something calm and with cool colors, such as blue, green, mellow yellows are nice too. Keep it simple.
A bed and place to keep your clothes are essential and where you want to begin. Here are some tips to help with your bedroom home decor.

We love our kids and kids rooms rock with kids rugs and other cool playroom decor. Sometime we need to think about us adults and our home decor needs in terms of area rugs.
Beautiful area rugs can change your home to luxury, southwestern style, modern or contemporary rugs styles in the blink of an eye. Watch a room transform when you bring a cool floor covering into your home. It can bring the wall decor together with the furnishings and basically just tie it all together really well.
A cheap carpet can wreck the room… just as fast. So, find a fabulous rug to lay on top of the ugly carpet and it helps. Sometimes it’s enough.

The internet can help us all find what we want. We just made a move to connect with another organization similar to ours in sharing information about lifestyles, home decoration, donations, and all other items on our list.
Not only did we get our information shared we were able to swap fun area rugs and wall decor from our storage facility for kitchen items from theirs.
Very cool way to share. Everybody wins.

We have quite a provider of repeated donations of tapestries and rugs. The tapestry wall hangings are abundant and we have found during these cold winter months they provide excellent insulation.
We are looking at keeping heating costs down during winter and by hanging a tapestry on the wall one after another, you can insulate an entire room. And that’s just what we have done for several families in the last couple weeks.
You should see the rooms completely filled with different colors and patterns, shapes and sizes, which are all making up a montage of sorts or collage look right on the wall. It’s really delightful, warm and inviting.
