On entering your friend’s house, do you find yourself mesmerized by the decor...? Wondering how a simple planter can change the look of the room. Worry not; add a burst of life to your home also. Take a look at these exotic show pieces and artifacts that would make your home the envy of your friends. From vases to planters to showpieces, paintings to traditional pots, adding any of these can change the look and feel of your house. You can opt for the classic look or the contemporary look. Perhaps you would like to opt for a mix of both…change the entire semblance by simply adding these decor pieces to your collection.


A theme is a consistent idea used throughout a room to create a feeling of completeness. These themes often follow period styles. Examples of this are Louis XV, Victorian, Minimalist, Georgian, Gothic, or Art Deco. The evolution of interior decoration themes has now grown to include themes not necessarily consistent with a specific period style allowing the mixing of pieces from different periods. Each element should contribute to form or function or both and maintain a consistent standard of quality and combine to create the desired design.

For the last 10 years, decorators, designers, architects and homeowners have been re-discovering the unique furniture that was development post-war of the 1950's and the 1960's. Some of the trendsetters include Ray Eames and Herman Miller.

Design trends are changing ever more rapidly and this can be seen by the designers, decorators and architects coming from California. Kelly Wearster has created a style now known as Hollywood Regency. It is a use of formal furniture and adding such touches as gingerbread to create a whimsical style. She is also know for finding unique accessories and using them in her design projects.

A new newest design trend has been coming out of San Diego by decorator Jeanine Naviaux of On The Inside Design and Jack Smyer of Smyer Architecture. The two separately have created a new style called California Beach Modern. This is where the California lifestyle mixes the homeowner's love of the sea, from surfing, kayaking or biking and keeping with the clean lines of modern archicecture and decor. This is done through the creating outdoor showers and storage for homeowners so that when they finish their day, the decorator and architect think about the placement of these items, the factors of sun and salt and their impact on the overall scheme of how California Beach Modern design.

History

The role of interior decorator probably came into existence in the 1720s in Western Europe, mostly being performed by men of diverse backgrounds. William Kent, who was trained as a history painter, is often cited as the first person to take charge of an entire interior, including internal architecture, furniture selection, and the hanging of paintings.

In London, this role was frequently filled by the upholsterer (sometimes called the upholder), while in Paris the marchand-mercier (a "merchant of goods" who acts as general contractor) often filled this role. Architects both in Great Britain and on the European continent also often served as interior decorators. Robert Adam, the neoclassical architect, is perhaps the most well-know late-century example of an architect who took on entire interiors, down to the doorknobs and fire-irons. Other 18th-century men who filled the role of interior decorator include Sir William Chambers, James Wyatt and Dominique Daguerre (marchand-mercier who emigrated to England). During the 1830s, interior decorators were responsible for the revival of interest in Gothic and Rococo styles in England. By the late 19th century, some firms set themselves apart as "art furnishers."

Modern interior decorators began with Lenygon and Morant in London, Charles Alavoine and Jeanselme in Paris, and Herter Brothers (from 1864) and Elsie De Wolfe and Ogden Codman in New York.

country style

The country style is changing in time, because now the baby boomer’s are cool and the fruity and birdie patterns have long gone out of style. For this style you have to use bright color combinations, bright blue and red, lime green and earthy tones are great for this. Nostalgic and overstuffed furniture is a common sight in this style, offering an antique look enhanced by crackled or distressed paint finish.

Interior decoration

Interior decoration or decor is the art of decorating a room so that it is attractive, easy to use, and functions well with the existing architecture. The goal of interior decoration is to provide a certain "feel" for the room; it encompasses applying wallpaper, wall decals, painting walls and other surfaces, choosing furniture and fittings, such as light fixtures, floorplans and providing other decorations for the area such as paintings, sculptures and carpets. In some cases, interior decorating is performed professionally by certified interior decorators (C.I.D.)

Although the terms interior decorating and interior design are sometimes used interchangeably, each discipline exhibits a distinct difference in its scope. Interior decorating is generally focused on the selection and presentation of interior items within a space, such as furniture, accessories, finishes and room layout. Interior design, on the other hand, involves manipulating the architectural integrity of the interior space.
