Your home
is where your heart is. You surely want your home to look as beautiful as
possible. Whether you are building a new home or renovating an old one, one of
the most important things to consider is the theme that you are going for. Why
is that important? You need to know your theme before starting the building
work. The color that you pick to paint the house, the style of the building,
even the kind of fixtures that you add will all reflect the theme of the house.
Different
strokes for different folks
A
Victorian mansion
Are you
going in for a large Victorian mansion with wrought iron gates, carved and
curlicued reeves and spouts? An old fashioned house looks great with bare brick
walls and ivy growing up the side, on the outside. You can paint it in rich
colors on the inside. Or, you can use pretty Victorian themed wallpapers.
Antique furniture with heavy velvet drapes and wooden flooring will complete
the picture. Heavily curtained mansions are usually pretty dark inside. Use
daylighting systems to let in more light into the house. And let’s not forget
the fixtures. Go for decorative fixtures like the classic decorative fixture,
The Tierdrop from Solatube that will enhance the look of a classic home.
Minimalistic
and simple
Are you
more into minimalism? You can build a beautiful medley of glass and steel,
which is all the rage right now. A wall to wall shag carpet, dominant colors
like black, red and white will all meld together to give a dramatic look. You
can paint the walls in a light color and have some gorgeous paintings with
focus lighting, or you can have one dominant colored wall that sets the tone
for the accessories in the room. Blinds look great in minimalistic homes. Have
minimum doors and walls and more of an open planned building that gives the
feel of space and air. You can install daylighting systems to get in more light
into the home. The chic Optiview from Solatube would be a perfect fit in this
kind of home.
An artsy
cottage
If you
have a small space to decorate, why not make it into a quirky and cute cottage
with lots of colors and lots of light. Pretty chintz curtains, pretty colored
rugs scattered around and mismatched furniture is a whole studio type look that
is perfect for a single or a newlywed couple. A cottage doesn’t have many
windows and could do with a daylighting system to bring the natural rays of the
sun indoors. The flashings for Solatube daylighting systems can be used on flat
or pitched roofs. If you have a cottage with a slanting roof, you can still
install it. The VividShade fixture would be perfect for an arty home.
Blend of
old and new
You don’t
have to settle on old or new. You can settle on comfortable. Instead of going
in for an old fashioned look or a modern look, with good choices, you can blend
the two to make a visually aesthetic home. Give your antique furniture a modern
touch with trendy material and colors. Use contemporary carpets for your
wooden floor. Match the colors with some artfully picked wall art. AuroGlo from
Solatube would be a perfect fit into this home that brings together old and
new.
