Decorating Secrets & Tricks, From Interior Designers - USA

Pile On the Pillows

One pair of pillows always looks skimpy. Use two pairs, in contrasting patterns, colors, and textures.

Buy a Bigger Bed

Small-scale furniture only makes a small bedroom look smaller. Try a high bed and a tall headboard. Your room will grow.

Go Dark

Dark walls do the opposite of what you'd expect: They make a small room feel bigger.

Wallpaper Is Easy

The fastest way to make over sliding closet doors is to wallpaper them, like Melissa Warner did to turn a bedroom into her office.

You'll never get tired of a white room.

Layer Your Lighting

Four lamps are better than two. You need ambient light for mood and direct light for reading.

Tuck In Your Throws

Keep throws under control. Fold them lengthwise, then in half, then tuck them into cushions.

Kick Your Traditional Coffee Table to the Curb

The most versatile coffee table you'll ever own is an ottoman topped with a tray.

Skirted Furniture Finishes a Room

Too many chair and table legs can make a room "nervous." A skirted piece or two will make it feel "grounded."

Gold Is Gorgeous

Gold is back in a big way. A few accents will warm up a room, like this classic living room. The living room in this New York apartment is by designers Kirsten Fitzgibbons and Kelli Ford. 

Leather Lasts

The most indestructible fabric for dining chairs is leather or vinyl. Especially if you want white.

Switch Up Your Seating

Mix up the seating at your dining table. You wouldn't have eight identical chairs in your living area.

Don't Forget the Closet Lighting

Love your closets. Paint them, paper them, hang pictures in them to inspire you. And definitely light them.

Exterior Design Wish List

It seems simple, but first impressions matter. When dreaming about a new exterior for your home, think about what you want neighbors and family to see and feel when they arrive at your house. And just like you might for a kitchen or bedroom redesign, pay attention to what you like. Browse through magazines or drive through neighborhoods, take notes of exteriors that appeal to you. Try to identify the features and elements that stand out to create a beautiful home. Think about the impression you want to make and draw from ideas, colors and themes that you like. Remember, bringing inspirations to life, inside or out, can be fun and rewarding!

No matter what the style of your home, the key to creating a unique look is blending different styles, colors and textures of exterior cladding products. For example, pairing stone with a clapboard and shake creates different textures on the exterior of your home. This also gives your home some dimension as well. 

Nyumba za ghorofa.......Ngazi msizisahau.....

Nyumba yako ni ndogo kiasi gani?

Hapa ni sitting room, naomba niseme kitu kimoja, baadhi yetu, tumekua na fikra kua tukiweka fanicha za gharama ndio nyumba inapendeza....... ama tukijaza vitu kwenye nyumba zetu ndio kunapendeza,,..... tena hatuangalii ukubwa wa nyumba, chumba etc... ilimradi tuuu tuonekane nyumba imejaa ndio unajua kuko sawa.......napenda kuwaambia kua hapana.... hatuendi namna hiyo......

Nyumba hii ndogo, na anaekaa humu ameona ni bora aweke vitu vichache na vyenye sehemu ya kuhifadhi vitu..... kama hili kochi linavyoonekana, chini ameweka droo na amehifadhi vitu..... sasa kwa wewee mwenye nyumba ndogo, jitahidi ununue makochi ambayo yana uvungu, ili ule uvungu uweze kutumia kwa kuhifahdi vitu, unakumbuka vile vikapu nilivyo waonyesha? sasa angalia ukubwa wa kochi lako na uweke kama vitaingia 2 ama vitatu, na kumbuka kusafisha mara kwa mara ili kuepusha uchafu na uvundo.

kwa upande wa kitanda napo ni hivyo hivyo, tumia uvungu kuhifadhi kama ni nguo,, mashuka etc. na ukumbuke kufanya usafi mara kwa mara na kuepusha uvundo.... sio lazima kutengeneza kitanda kama hiki, hata ulichonacho kama kina uvungu, basi weka vile vikapu, ila ndio usivijaze huko uvunguni, maana utakua ni uchafu, 2-3 vinatosha.....

Jiko, hili dogo linatosha kabisa, kwa nyumba ndogo... na hapo hapo pakawa ni sehemu ya kulia chakula. weka jiko lako katika hali ya usafi wakati woote.... maana kumbuka jiko dogo, sasa likiwa haliangaliwi vizuri hali itabadilika na nyumba itazidi kua ndogo, na panya na wadudu wengine ndio watakua wageni....

Haijalishi, kua unapokua na plazma tv, basi ni lazima ukanunue tv stand ya plazma special....... hata ya mbao ama chuma pia itafaa tena hizo ni imara sana...

Bafu hili ni dogo mno, ila limewekwa vizuri, na kumbuka kwenye nyumba ndogo rangi za ukutani inabidi ziwe ni ng'aavu......zinasaidia chumba/nyumba kuonekana kubwa

Kwa upande wa jiko, jitahidi kuwa na sehemu za kuhifadhi vitu vyako nyingi, na uhifidhi kwa usafi...


Kua na nyumba ndogo sio eti ndio uwe mchafu, ama huwezi kufanya usafi, na kupaacha tuuu. ukihidhi vitu vyako vizuri, na ukiwa na nafasi ya kuhifadhi basi kila kitu kitakua poa.....

Zawadi ya bi harusi mtarajiwa.......

Zawadi ilikua ni kitanda, stool, na dressing table....alikabidhiwa katika chakula cha usiku kilichoandaliwa na familia....

inapendeza kwa kweli, hasa ukimzawadia mtarajiwa, vitu vinavyodumu kwa kweli....

nawatakia kila la kheri katika maisha yenu ya ndoa....
