Unique ideas for creating decor in your interior.

Features of decorating different rooms

Each room has its own special purpose. Therefore, they need to be decorated differently. Just as an example, candles in the bedroom are a romantic setting, and candles in the toilet – “don’t you have any lights?” I will briefly tell you about decorating each room.

Kitchen

Most kitchens involve dividing shelves and drawers into upper and lower ones. Between these “floors” there is usually just empty space, which does not look very attractive and stands out from the overall design. It is very easy to fix this mistake – install a railing or a kitchen apron with a pattern.

We talked about decorating walls in different areas of the kitchen in more detail in the previous article.

There are hundreds of such decorations and all with different designs for every taste. Therefore, kitchen aprons can fit into any interior.

There are also special large stickers with a “kitchen” design. They are easy to peel off, and you don’t have to spend hours peeling them off the wallpaper or walls.

Kitchens are often decorated with plants. But not every plant is suitable for this type of microclimate. It is best to use unpretentious flowers for the kitchen (chlorophytum, crassula, geranium, etc.).

Living room

The best option for decorating a living room is paintings. This interior item will fit into any design. In addition, paintings are easy to change – you can hang a new one every day, if you want.

Another good option is flowers. They also fit into any interior, additionally filling the room with fresh air. However, there are significant disadvantages – they take up a lot of space and need to be looked after. Fortunately, these problems can be solved by purchasing decorative plants.

Bathroom and toilet

Firstly, no one is stopping you from hanging pictures in the bathroom and toilet. But they should not be too flashy, fitting into the general atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Secondly, you can use unusual curtains that allow you to close off the bathtub or shower stall. It is also important to remember that the color and pattern should not stand out from the general color background. Most bathrooms are white and soft, so bright red or black curtains will simply ruin the whole picture.

And finally, a rather controversial, but very interesting solution – a window. Firstly, it is natural lighting. Secondly, it is an opportunity to ventilate the room without installing ventilation. Thirdly, the view from the window during water procedures is simply amazing. The solution is popular in private homes.

Children’s

Most children are afraid of the dark, so a good solution would be to install night lights in the children’s room or buy special fluorescent stickers for the wall and ceiling.

You can also decorate the nursery with a variety of drawings that you can create together with your child. This has a negative aspect – he may get used to drawing on the walls. But, in general, such drawings not only decorate the room perfectly, but also develop the child’s creative potential.

Hallway

It is very difficult to decorate the hallway, since usually it is just a small room or passage. And it is already good if there is room for a small closet or hanger. Therefore, when decorating the hallway, you need to proceed from two aspects: the general style and free space.

The ideal option is a painting. Yes, a painting can really fit anywhere, as it doesn’t take up much space and you can always choose an option that matches the style of the room.

Bedroom

Let’s talk about unusual options. The Soviet era left us with many wonderful things, and one of them is wall carpets. Yes, many people don’t think they are a very good solution, some even call them dust collectors. In the bedroom, you can decorate the headboard with a carpet.

In addition, carpets do not fit into every interior, and there is no longer any need to insulate the walls with them. However, I still recommend considering this idea as potentially good, because now there is a huge number of different options that can fit into any bedroom.

Balcony

If you live in a warm climate, then feel free to decorate the balcony with flowers. This is the best option, which looks good in almost any style.

If your winters are harsh, and the flowers on the balcony will simply die, then buy a hanging chair or an unusual recreation area. Yes, it will never fit into narrow balconies. But if you have at least a meter of space to spare, the solution will be a great one.

How to decorate individual parts of rooms?

Naturally, there is a variety of decorations not only for individual rooms, but also for their parts. For example, we can put a carpet on the floor, but hanging it from the ceiling is problematic. Therefore, I suggest briefly and quickly considering the main options for decorating individual parts of a room.

Floor

Since we are talking about carpets, the floor option is a great way to decorate any room. It should be selected based on the following aspects: floor color, overall design, color of nearby things. For example, if the floor in the room is white, and the nearest things are light green, a green carpet will be a great option.

Look at interesting options that can be used instead of ordinary carpets.

If you want to add more variety to the decoration of the floor covering, then you should choose an original baseboard. There are many stylish ideas that can be matched to any interior – from a rope around the perimeter of the room to original lighting.

Ceiling

The ceiling is the most difficult to decorate. And it’s not about the height, but about the pretentiousness of any decorations. If you look at the most common tips, they recommend using stucco. But such a solution will look good only in combination with very high ceilings and in large rooms. In other cases, it will create a feeling of being overloaded and reduced in size.

As an option, you can consider an unusual chandelier. But again, it all comes down to height. If you buy one that is too big and fancy, it will only “bring” the floor and ceiling closer, creating pressure. Besides, tall people will simply hit their heads against it.

Walls

We decorate the walls with whatever we like. These include homemade drawings, paintings, photographs, and shelves with various contents. In general, there is plenty of scope for imagination.

Modular paintings are increasingly used in interiors these days – this is a simple, stylish, and budget option. Their essence is that they represent a general composition, divided into several parts.

For the especially sophisticated, homemade ideas, which we have already talked about in this article, are suitable. Unusual ideas related to your hobby are also often used. Usually these are musical instruments or even a bicycle.

Doors

We decorate doors with drawings and stickers. There are even unusual 3D options that seem to add volume to the door. Naturally, do not forget that all decorations should fit into the overall design. For example, in a calm environment, a photo print with a tiger on the door will look funny, and a neat outline of a flamingo will look very unusual and beautiful.

If your door has lost its beautiful appearance, you can easily update it.

Windows

Decorating windows is pointless, since they need to be washed at least once every six months. Accordingly, any decorations, stickers, drawings and the like must be removed. If they simply need to be decorated, for example, any holiday is coming, then take erasable markers and paints, or look for special stickers. Naturally, it will take a long time and a lot of tedious cleaning later, but you will definitely be able to create a festive atmosphere.

Slopes and window sill

The only option to decorate the slopes is to give them a natural look. This can be done either with the help of special finishing materials (wallpaper, plaster) or stickers, or using various materials: wood, stone, etc. With windowsills, everything is much simpler – flowers, decorative figurines from your travels and even a cozy place to relax will do.

Recommendations for different holidays

Each holiday has its own special order of decorating rooms. This is logical, because conditional scary pumpkins on New Year’s Eve will look ridiculous, and a Christmas tree on Halloween is utter stupidity. Let’s briefly review the main recommendations for various holidays.

New Year

A Christmas tree, toys, tinsel, garland – these are the basic, standard decorations that the vast majority of people use to decorate their apartments and houses. Actually, why reinvent the wheel?

Take a look at some interesting examples of New Year’s wall decorations.

Birthday

Balloons, colorful letters, and party hats are a great option. And, frankly speaking, it’s hard to add any variety to this set. As an option, you can consider unusual paper figures that can add new colors to a familiar look.

Easter

What is Easter associated with? Painted eggs, Easter cakes, and an Easter bunny. Accordingly, you can safely use one of these options or a combination of them to decorate rooms. For example, a small basket with a toy chicken and decorated eggs, or several Easter bunnies.

Discharge from the maternity hospital

Technically, discharge from the maternity hospital is also a birthday, only it is arranged not for the child, but for the parent. As a result, we use balloons, letters and flowers – the main thing is to focus on the mother, not the child.
