Modern Home Decorating

I was at a party last Christmas and the hostess had a pink tree with I believe blue lights or torquoise lights it looked real modern. Does anyone have any mordern ideas to decorate for Christmas this year?

blue tree w/ white lights… or a silver tree w/ blue lights.. even w/ purple lts… I think colored trees r hard to find unless u have the $$ but even on a reg. tree.. u can add modern things like solid color lights. Mayb try those running lights… that would b more modern. Geometric designs for orniments.

hope that helps

We are moving into a one bedroom home and its very small the kitchen and living and dining area are all attached in a very small room. How do you make the space look bigger and how should I decorate it?
We are renting it so we cant do much painting on the walls

I just moved into an apartment same with yours 6 months ago. You may want to try what I did to the apartment:

I painted the whole ceiling flat white (not the shiny type). This gave the ambience of a wider space.

For the room, I painted the walls sky blue, I changed the bed linens to lime green. That gave the room a fresh and wider look.

For the kitchen, dining and living room, I chose analogous colors (3 related colors). For my apartment, I chose red, orange, and yellow. One wall is red to give contrast to the whole place and the rest of the walls are painted yellow with orange border line.

For the flooring, I picked plastic planks with light-colored wood design/pattern.

I suggest that you choose furnitures and fixtures that are minimalistic in design as the big furnitures will eat up the space.

For my place, I made hanging racks for the books and magazines.

I have a pretty good size room that i am redecorating it is 13×27.
I have black leather furniture and creamy/beige carpet. I have yet to paint. I am up for anything. I want something different. Any ideas or pictures of ideas?? I dont have any pictures, clocks, mirrors anything yet. I wanna do something modern with a flare.
Thanks

for the theater room, i’d go dark. like forrest, or ox blood, or hershey brown, or even colbalt blue would be dramatic. i’ve even seen jet black. very nice for a theater room. then the liviing room part, keep it creamy as the carpet and bring in an accent color maybe the one you used for the theater room. possibly, chairs, pillows, art, vase and/or decor flowers. wish i was there to help. sounds like fun!

If a theme is necessary, why not something educational or back-to school since students return to school in August.

new 20′ wide mobile home with white walls and vaulted ceilings will be hanging curtains up high to lengthen walls but would also like to paint northern walls a different color, red or orange ?, to add flavor with the jade tiles in kitchen. Bad or good, please explain since I have never decorated before. Thank you.

Seems to me that a red wall with jade tiles looks too close to Christmas colors, and an orange wall might look a little 70′s -ish. you could pull off a red-ish wall if it’s not very close to a pure red, for example a rusty color or burnt orange. Don’t go too dark, though, as it cuts out light and can make the room seem smaller. But it really depends on how you do it. Get curtains that don’t look heavy or bulky either. Good luck!

I know it may be possible to learn at home, but I’m pretty young so I think it would be easier to take a class. I’m not looking for anything really fancy, just something fun. Thanks!

you can take class at your local craft store like Micheal’s or Ac Moore

I sell vinyl decorative lettering for home decorating and I would like to have something cute/catchy to go along with it. For instance I’ve seen things like "ifwallscouldtalk@…", "wallthatjazz@…" anyone have any creative ideas???
