Colours and accessiries to decorate house

Different colour suit different space and give it the different meaning. Even the use of accessories for decoration has its own meaning. For instance to give vibrant look to a room one should use red or orange colour while for romantic look and give depth, use darker shades of red colour or magenta. To enhance the effect one must use suitable accessories. Hence, it is very important to choose the colour and decoration item for different rooms differently. Lets how we can use colours and accessories to create different types of looks.

The living room of any house is generally used to entertain guests. Hence, it should look vibrant, fresh and appear big. For this purpose red is and orange are good options. But too much red can be overwhelming. So one must use cushion covers, flowers on side table, wall art with red prominent and table accessories in red. Freshness comes with the use flowers and wood gives a warm look.

For traditional look, one must go for some dark shades or bright shades mixed with gold. Use of dark wood sofa set in intricate design with upholstery in a gold and orange mix will be very good. Use the rug area with the same colour combination i.e. brown and orange. There are a huge option of decorative accessories that can be used, like hanging brass lamps and urns, cushions in patterns of green, rust and mustard, tiny brass figurines and pictures with gold etching. Place plants in vivid green in the corners or on side table will balance the rich colours in the room. To further balance the rich colour, use a centre table with marble top and a table runner.

It is always best to have a cosy and personal look in the bedroom of the house. To do so, use the deep shades of purple, magenta, copper and burgundy. To give some eclectic looks, try using collectible in brass, marble, wood, pictures, colourful crystals, Chinese dolls and lampshades with stones in different colours. Bed covers can be in single hue while pillows should have sequins in different colours for contrast.

The colour choice in this case could be earthly hues like chocolate brown, dull orange, mustard, green, beige and brick red. They can be used for cushion covers, bamboo blinds, shades, artwork, rugs and terracotta artifacts. The elegance can be brought in the theme with the use of zari work on the borders of cushions covers or zari patterns on the covers. Curtains and tablecloths could be in contrasting colours of red and orange. Cotton works best here, huge terracotta urns can be kept next to wood furniture like a study table. If the room is large then a sizable urn can be kept in the centre with a plant in it. This will make an impressive set-up, especially in the hall. The kind of plant kept in the urn can vary with season or the decor style.
