I need a change! I have doorway beads up and funky things hanging, dried flower arrangements, but it%26#039;s still a dark room, regardless of big picture windows! I need decorative help! Color schemes? Any ideas are more than welcome :) thanks!
Does anyone have any great theme ideas for my living room?
FlowersBirthday FlowersSympathy FlowersAs our tastes change, so do trends in decorating. It may still be best for you, and more practical to go with what YOU enjoy.
Any answers here may be the right answer, but CHOICE is up to you.
Brighter colors, in shades you most enjoy, textures that vary, faux finishes, sheers or verticals on the windows rather than drapes, better, or more adequate lighting.
Pastels work well, and can be mixed in varying shades without being offensive or clash too severely.
The 3 walls one and the 4th wall another color is a good suggestion.
Don%26#039;t over-do in anything. Keep the room simple enough to be comfortable. That said,,,certainly you could have a wall of books,,IE: Library style, an aquarium, move or change the furnishings so that at some point you are actually looking out the windows.
If you%26#039;re going to spend a majority of your time there, the room should be a calm place, an inviting place, though it need not be old timey cozy.
In the end, sugegsting colors to you:
Go to a home store, paint store, check out decorationg mags,,, even at a grocery market for ideas that are current, or traditional. Your choices will depend on what is already in your frame of referrence as to what you most enjoy.

Reply:Try painting with a lighter shade. Put up some nice crown molding.
Reply:Paint tip - Choose a color u like the most, and try to choose a cool color.. then, choose a lighter shade and a slight darker shade of the same color and get 3 walls painted with the lighter one and the 4th wall with the darker one.
Decoratives - hang lots of wind-chimes of the roof whr u hv a subsequent amount of vantilation.
Also, try to get the li%26#039;ll LEDs/tiny bulbs emitting silver/white light and stick %26#039;em up the roof high enough.
In the night when u shut all the lights off and turn on just these.. u%26#039;ll be amazed how it makes u feel under a completely star-studded sky but still comfortable, cozy and safe enough in your room!
Finally... name it %26quot;ThemeHome%26quot;.
That%26#039;s exactly the home and rooms I have. And I LOOOOVVVEEEE it!
Cheers!

Reply:i just went the cheap route...dont buy nothing..get a bunch of dirty stuff you dont care about and let it collect dust..then your theme could be %26quot;ghost town%26quot;...ohhh..and another thing...get lots of guys to come over and drink all your beer and booze..of course you must leave the bottles and cans near the front door and on all window sills that are visible to the public..a condom wrapper or three will help if you want that %26quot;trailer court%26quot; ambience to exude more than the paper bags of garbage piled up on the balcony... and dont forget a car or two on blocksand a nascar poster hung at a slight angle in the dining room(where you usually keep the tub with the keg in it)genealogy mormon
