Interior Design Tips – Creating a Retro Style Bedroom

Retro Style BedroomHow to create retro bedroom decoration from the 1960′s, 1970′s, and 1980′s.
When one thinks of the word “retro”, their mind automatically goes to the decorating styles of the 1960’s and 1970’s. For more and more people, however, the 1980’s is also considered retro. Here are some ideas you can use to create a retro bedroom for yourself.
The 1960’s.
The 1960’s was the time of hippies, and free love. Even more than that, it was a time for people to discover love of their fellow man with the emergence of Martin Luther King, J.F Kennedy, and war protests. Home decor was as bold and free as the youth of the generation.
Walls: Room decor did not necessarily come from wall colors. They came from what was hung on them. On your white or neutral wall colors, hang colorful bold flower print fabrics in two or three colors.
Fabrics: Use bold color blocked fabric for your bedding and window treatment. For example, a white background with orange circles or uneven squares. Colors to look for are orange, brown, white, celadon green, and mustard.
Flooring: Floor tiles were very popular during this time. Purchase floor tiles in two colors and install like in a checkerboard pattern. Add several throw rugs to warm your feet in the morning.
Accessories: Accessorize the room with pop art reminiscent of Andy Warhol who was famous for his paintings of Campbell’s soup and Marilyn Monroe. Lava lamps and Hawaiian tiki carvings are also great room accessories of the time.
The 1970’s.
As the baby boomers came of age in the 1970’s, free love, war protests, and overall cultural awareness faded as disco and nightclubs became the obsession of the generation who needed to work off steam as they worked themselves up the corporate ladder. Home decor and fashions evolved greatly during this time from wild and crazy to clean lines, but bold colors remained.
Walls: Paint the room in a two-toned design like a beige on top and brown on the bottom. Two tones of any color will work well.
Fabrics: Floral designs continued to remain dominant, but more colors were added to the color palate. For your bed, purchase a cozy chenille bedspread and matching sheer curtain panels for your windows.
Flooring: Shag carpet would look great in your 70’s inspired bedroom, but you do not need to stick with the mixed shades of brown that was used to camouflage spills. Purchase your shag carpet in solid colors instead, and stick to area rugs to save money because shag carpet does not have a long shelf life.
Accessories: Mirrors and glass became the main room accessories during this period. Cover a wall with mirrors and add a mirrored disco ball to reflect the light in your room.
The 1980’s.
During the 1980’s the baby boomers became parents and so home decor became more grown up. Patterns became more subtle, subdued, and traditional. Victorian elements re-emerged during this time.
Walls: There was a return to white and neutral colored walls. You can paint your 1980′s inspired bedroom walls white with pastel colored trim, or antique white with high gloss white trim.
Fabrics: Pastel colors became the popular color scheme during this period interspersed with subtle florals by designers like Ashley Stewart. For a more masculine room, stick with classic stripes and argyle patterns.
Flooring: During the 1980’s, carpet got colorful and shorter. Short twisted pile carpet in pinks, blues, and greens would work well in your room.
Accessories: Accessories during this period were also a bit more grown up. Glass figurines became popular for adults and hand made bunnies and stuffed animals were the main decor in children’s rooms. Photography became the wall hangings of choice from candid pictures of family members to posters of rock stars, to black and white landscapes picures.

Basement Wet BarCreating family entertainment space, how to convert a basement or extra room in your home into a wet bar and how to choose a theme.
Whether you’re entertaining a spouse, children or friends, a wet bar is a natural way to incorporate food, drink and fun to an environment. Basement wet bars consist of a few basic elements: the bar top, seating, displays and storing facilities. When you’ve combined the right bar top, seating, display case and refrigerator or handy kitchen aids to prepare drinks or light treats, your guests will surely be impressed with how you turned a drab space into a wonderful wet bar. This article will explore a few ideas for each element in your wet bar as well as ideas for an overall theme.
First, let’s discuss the elements of the wet bar and possible ideas..
The bar top: Your bar surface can be wood, tile, stone or and variety of similar kitchen countertops. Often wet bars come straight, in an “L” shape or semi-circular. You’ll want to make sure that the wet bar doesn’t overpower the entire room, but provides enough space for putting drinks, sitting and basic entertaining. With the bar top, you’ll also want to consider if you’re going to have a draft fountain attached, sinks or various other appliances that would be taking up space of the general seating area.
Seating: The seating can be a bit tricky. You’ll want to be considering if the seats should move, swivel, and/or have footrests attached to them or will that be attached to the bar itself. You’ll want to consider if you prefer bar stools or bar chairs meaning a seat with a back, arm rest or just a simple stool. Since most of your guests may want to sit at the bar will drinking or chatting, you’ll want to make sure that they are comfortable.
Displays: Consider where you’re going to place all the serving ware and if it’s underneath the bar or behind the bar. You’ll want to have everything readily accessible for using, but not cluttering the overall look of your bar when it’s not in use. Some other ideas are having a mirror behind the bar, or framed photos or signs.
Storing Facilities: This references a mini-refrigerator/freezer or wine cooler or even a mini-dishwasher for glassware. You’re going to want to consider all the blenders, and mixing items you’ll need when preparing drinks. If you know you’ll be entertaining a lot, you’ll probably consider larger appliances for storing than maybe a wet bar that would be entirely for snacking or catering to children during playtime. You’ll want to make sure that the children have access to water, soda and non-alcoholic beverages while the items not necessary for children are locked away when the wet bar isn’t in use.
Overall, creating a theme for your wet bar can help you choose the elements. For example, if you were wanting to do a fifties style wet bar, you’d consider a root beer fountain for the children and mini-cooler for storing ice cream and other treats, black/white checked bar stools with stainless steel countertops and decor larger than life resound of the 50s era. While on the other hand, if you want a wet bar that is contemporary and chic, you’d probably choose items that are bold, clean, and bright. If you want a western wet bar, you’d probably choose an entirely wood bar with wood bar chairs and branded display wall which also suits as cabinets for storing mugs and other items.
Whether you’re into the 50s diner, 70s retro, Western, Cosmo chic, or a pre-fabricated wet bar, remember the basic elements and combine them in a pleasing manner that will make all your guests want to do a wet bar for themselves.

Interior Design Tips – Decorating Oversized Bedroom

Modern Oversized BedroomDesign Ideas for an oversized Bedroom to make them feel cozier
While it can be a great joy to have an oversized bedroom, such room can be a huge challenge to decorate. It may be difficult give a large space the cozy feeling necessary in a bedroom. Here are some ideas to make your oversized bedroom more conducive to sleep, rest and relaxation.
Keep it simple: Just because the room is large does not mean that you need to fill it with lots of things like exercise equipment computer systems. These things do not promote rest. All you really need in your bedroom is a bed, the bigger the better. All other items are expendable.
Get it off the wall: In a very large room, there is no reason to place your bed against the wall. Put it in the center of the room facing the windows with the best view. It is preferable for the bed to be facing a direction so someone entering the room would not be able to see the bed, but only the headboard. You can add to more privacy to the bed by placing a large armoire or dresser with the back of it to the headboard. If the back of the dresser shows through the headboard, you can upholster the back of the dresser with fabric, to coordinate with the bed. Sleigh beds adapt well to this placement because they have high headboards.
Canopy beds would work as well because you can use fabric hanging from the bed poles as a screen. Folding floor screens can be placed at the head of the bed if you do not have a dresser or armoire that will fit in the space. For side tables, find pieces that look good from all sides like round tables instead of traditional nightstands. You can also choose to purchase a headboard unit designed for such a placement. Side tables are usually attached.
Modern Canopy Beds
Break it up: Break the room into two or three zones, sleeping, lounging and dressing. Creating a sleeping area is obvious. Place the bed and side tables in one area of the room. For the lounging area, add sofas and chairs to the bedroom for an area to sit and talk, or even furnish an area where the children can feel comfortable. If you find you are sharing your bed with children, and want them to transition into their own beds, make sure that your bedroom sofa or lounge chair is comfortable. You may even want to add a day bed to your room. This way they can sleep in your room, but not in your bed.
Once they can sleep without being next to you, transitioning them to their own bed will be easier. For your dressing areas, you can place your dressers, armoires and mirrors grouped together and add a bench or chaise that you can sit on when dressing. You can separate the room for more privacy if you wish. To do this, add a folding screen to block the view to your dressing area or use a two-sided bookshelf. The shelves can display beautiful items on the side facing the bed, and clothing related items on the other side.
Super-size it: Buy big furniture. A big room calls for big furniture. Get a king bed size with a double pillow top mattress that sits high off the floor. Add a set of bed steps or stools so you will not have to pole vault into the bed. Instead of traditional side tables, use three or four-drawer dressers on each side of the bed. Placed next to a large bed, they will look like night tables. You can use the drawers to eliminate clutter around the bed as well. Instead of a bench or regular chest at the foot of the bed, as they will tend to look like miniatures, place a low dresser without the mirror. You will have a super sized footlocker in which you can store spare bedding. Another option for the foot of the bed is a cabinet in which a television on a hydraulic system is housed. This way the TV is seen only when it is in use. Instead of traditional dressers in a room of this size, you might opt for a full wall unit or built in cabinets instead.
Take advantage of the shape: Many large rooms are also odd shaped rooms. Use the shape of the room to your advantage. You can place one of your room zones, like your dressing area out of sight in an L-shaped room. Alternatively, you can tuck your sleeping area into the nook of a T-shaped room

Choosing Paint To Cover A Dark or Contrasting Color

How to choose paints for covering up darker or contrasted coloring.
The colors we choose to paint our houses on the inside, as well as on the outside, are a direct reflection of our personal tastes. Some people like the warmth of reds, yellows, and oranges.
Others prefer light and cheery colors such as white and yellow. Lighter colors can help to make a small room look bigger too, and make a low ceiling appear to be higher. Still, other people choose darker colors like brown or blue. These darker colors can help to create a warm, cozy, effect in large interior rooms. On the flip side, they can also make a small room look even smaller. And, dark colors shows every crack, repair, dent, and every other imperfection that is on the walls.
If you have a dark room in your house that you want to lighten up, you can easily do this yourself. Here’s a tip for you: you don’t need to hire an expensive contractor to do the job for you. It doesn’t matter if the existing color of the room is brown, dark gray, royal blue, or even black. Any color of the rainbow, no matter how dark it is, can successfully be covered over with any other color. If it is done correctly, there will no bleeding of the darker paint into your lighter walls.
You need to choose a suitable paint that will cover the dark colors completely. Don’t even consider purchasing cheap, thin paints because they won’t do the job. Instead, these types of paint can streak and run when they are applied to your walls. Instead, in order to get the results you are after, and cover existing dark colors, choose a good – quality paint. It can be either flat or glossy, latex or acrylic latex, the type of paint doesn’t matter. This is because the primer sealer will do the basic job of covering up the dark colors.
The next step in this project is to properly prepare the walls. Wipe them down with a clean, damp cloth; rinse cloth in clean tap water often. Make sure the walls are free from dirt, grease, and other debris that can prohibit the paint from adhering to the walls properly. Use soapy water and rinse thoroughly, if need be.
Then, after the walls have dried, use a good – quality brush or roller and a primer sealer. Not just a primer, but a primer sealer. The primer part of the product will help to cover the dark colors. The sealer part of the product will help to seal the surface so the darker colors can’t bleed through the new paint. Be sure that you follow the manufacturer’s directions in order to achieve the best results. Here’s a valuable tip you can use: two coats of the primer sealer will provide the best coverage for the dark colors you are trying to eliminate. Here’s another tip you can use: usually primers come in a basic white shade. If you add some of the top coat paint to the primer, it will help the final coat of paint cover better.
Allow the primer sealer to dry thoroughly, according to the manufacturer’s directions. Then, apply the top coat of paint to the walls. Follow the manufacturer’s directions in order to achieve the best results, but, just like with the primer sealer, two coats will do the best job.

Decorative Painting Techniques: Washing

0 comments
The “washing” technique is most often used to create an old world feel, a cozy country look, or a rustic cabin effect.
Washing technique is a simple, subtle way to bring texture to your room. Although it works best with warm, natural, earthy colors, you can make any colors work with a little know how and a little practice. Careful layering of different colors will achieve the best results. Using two colors will create a soft, subtle effect, but the more layers you apply the more you will enhance the depth and texture of the room. Prepping the surface is the first step. Make sure walls have been patched or repaired as necessary and make sure they are clean and ready to accept paint. Any interior paint is suitable, but latex is the easiest to work with.
Prime the walls if necessary, using a primer that has the same base as your paint. For instance, if you have chosen a latex paint use a latex primer. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines, allow the primer to dry completely then apply the base coat. You must also allow the base coat to dry sufficiently, preferably overnight. When dry prepare to wash on your second color.
You will need to thin your paint with water. If you are using semi gloss, try one part water to three parts paint, and if you choose flat paint try one part water to one part paint. You may need to make slight adjustments until you reach the desired consistency. There are two basic methods for washing. You can either wash or wipe the color on in a swirling motion with a clean, soft rag that does not produce a lot of lint, or you can apply it with a brush using a cross hatch pattern and moving in all directions.
Be careful not to coat the area too heavily, as you want the base coat to show through. When this layer is dry, apply the next one in the same manner. Some people choose to apply the third color while the second coat is still wet, creating a blended effect. This can be done if using a monochromatic color scheme, but is not recommended when using colors with high contrast. The colors will mix together and may create shades that you will not find appealing.
A monochromatic scheme is one that consists of various shades of the same color, like a beige base coat with taupe and caramel layers. Or, you may want to use different shades of reds. Make sure each shade is different enough to provide at least some contrast, by choosing a light, a medium, and a dark shade of the color so there will be enough of an impact, but at the same time the colors will blend well.
It is always best to try out the technique on a practice board before attempting it on your walls. This is an especially good idea if you intend to apply another coat while one coat is still wet. This way you can see how well the colors will blend and what effect it will create.
Once you finish the final layer, take some time to decide if you are happy with the results. If not, you can go back and add a few swipes here and there until you attain the look you want. When you have achieved the desired result and the final layer is thoroughly dry, you may want to add a clear top coat to protect the finish.

Read these interior painting tips and learn how to do it yourself the right way.
Painting walls is a chore, and one that you will want to get right the first time around. Failure to paint the wall properly will cause the colors bleeding, running and you will have to add many coats of paint to cover these mistakes.
Place drop cloths on the area around where you are painting. Some paints say they wash up with soap and water, and the paint still is hard to remove.
Purchase paint brushes for oil paints or latex, depending on which paint you are using. Same thing goes for the paint roller. It should have a medium nap. If preferred, you can use a paint sprayer and can purchase one at your local hardware center or home improvement center.
You can paint oil based paints over latex, but you can’t paint latex based paints over oil based paints without first prepping the walls. You can buy an etching solution or use a primer to seal in the oil paint. After you have primed the wall, you can begin painting.
First you will want to start with your ceilings. Feel free to paint over the edges because when you paint the walls, you’ll cut your corners in.
Next is your wood work. Sand and prime before you paint. Use a satin paint on your trim and a flat finish paint on your walls. Trim being doors, moulding etc.
Now that you have finished the ceiling, you can paint the walls. Cut in first with a paint brush. You do this by painting the corners and areas that the paint roller will not reach.
Roll out two coats on your walls, being sure you let the first coat dry thoroughly first. Be sure to have a window or fan for proper ventilation. If it’s cold outside, make sure the heat is on in your home to help dry the paint.
Be sure to use a quality paint. If you have children, you will want to make sure the paint can be washed. Also make sure the paint has a warranty for at least 5 years or longer.
After painting, be sure to clean the brushes, roller and roller pans for your next project.

Good color scheme is usually when two-thirds of the room they will be painted with one color, while another third is painted with another color. You should avoid the use of two colors with the same composition (percentage of area and intensity).
People usually choose the color scheme to one of three different categories. Complementary color scheme is selected from the colors that exist on opposite sides of the color wheel such as red and green. Complementary color scheme is selected from the color opposite on the color wheel such as red and green or orange and blue. Harmonious color scheme was chosen based on the color next to each other in the color wheel, like yellow and orange or blue and violet (purple). Variation of a color as three shades of green colors are: yellow green, green and blue green or orange yellow, orange, red and orange are also good and commonly used.
You may want to use a different color between the kitchen and bedroom, but it's actually better if the whole room is connected with the same color. Choose the most appropriate color scheme, then use that color for the various rooms, to furnishings you can also use a similar color. Imagine a room full of would be impressed if the color of the walls, sofas, cabinets, racks not with a theme.
Be creative with color is fun if stepnya true. Your house is like a canvas, you can create a beautiful painting on canvas. Happy painting!
