Guest Post: Home Decor: From Living Room to Lavatory

Hi I am Amber Hash from  "The Vanity Room" and today I will be sharing with you some unique ideas to decorate the 5 most important rooms in your house!

***

Each home is different, offering different proportions and unique opportunities to get your personal stamp in plain view. Whether you are renovating, redecorating or starting from scratch in a new place you CAN make a beautiful home that you will be proud to show off to friends and family!

Living room: 

The living room must be easy to maintain being one of the most high traffic areas in the home. Not only will the entire family, pets included, spend much of their time in this room, but it is the place that you will bring your guests to. Choose hard wearing, stain resistant carpets and sturdy durable furniture, adding appeal with judicious furniture placement and the addition of delightful pretty touches; wall art, ornaments, family photographs in attractive frames.




Dining room: 

The dining room tends to be a practical room, used for mealtimes and occasionally for work that requires a large table. Therefore, the dining room is unlikely to be regularly disturbed by family relaxation. Choose an attractive dining table set, and make sure that it is wiped down according to manufacturer's guidelines daily. Wooden dining table and chair sets look magnificent against formal, thick curtains that hang in stately folds, giving the room a grand and formal air.



Bedroom: 

Comfort should be the watchword in the bedroom, and the style should be tailored to those who will get maximum use from the bedroom. Bedding, curtains and carpets can be feminine and frilly or masculine and sombre, according to taste. Accessories should be bought after the main pieces of furniture have been chosen, so as to create an appealing and harmonious whole.


Bathroom: 

Let your quirky side out in the bathroom! Choose underwater wall-paper, decorate the walls with fish and other sea creatures and do not worry about being tasteful and stylish – just in this one room! If your bathroom makes your guests smile and mention the décor to others, then you have done it exactly right! You can use tiles to revive the look of your bathrooms as well. I was looking for bathroom fittings and fixtures online suppliers and found My-Bathrooms really affordable.





Kitchen: 

The kitchen is the area that gets the highest traffic and has to contend with the eating habits of the entire family, again, pets included! The floor should be easy maintenance and waterproof so that you can mop it down regularly without worrying about causing any damage; the surfaces should be smooth and unblemished, without any nooks and crannies for grime and dirt to build up. Clear, clean surfaces look fantastic in any room, and that is especially the case in the kitchen. Silver, white, cream and blue are brilliant colors for kitchens, especially when teamed with touches of bright red! If you want to paint your kitchen walls here is an online wall painting calculator which will tell you exactly how many liters of paint you will require according to your wall dimensions.



Each room of your home will have a personality or 'feel' that is unique. If you can capture the spirit of the room and harness it to your perfect décor ideas you are sure to create a wonderfully warm and welcoming home.

Real Potential

While kitchens and bathrooms give the most return on investment, not every homeowner is prepared to undergo a major remodel. Particularly if they want the home sold within a specific timeline.  So in a case where the home is old and outdated, if you present it well, you can help buyers appreciate these rooms for what it could be.


After we staged


A fresh coat of paint, crisp white towels and shower curtain, black and white scenic art, greenery, and a few shiny accessories... coordinating these items together in the room help renew and refresh the space, diminishing attention to the dated finishes.


Before we staged


The fall real estate market is upon us so if you think you're ready to sell, now is the time to call me for a pre-staging consult and we can book your staging date.  In the meantime, while you're thinking about that move, here is an interesting post to peruse on Why real estate heats up as the sun sets on summer.



Ground Rules for Roommates


Are you or your son or daughter living in a dorm or apartment?  Here's a great read from houzz.com on 13 ways to keep the peace with roommates.

Well, the kids are back in school full swing. Where did the time go? ...Summer just came and left.  And speaking of time, this year is a significant time in our household.  We have entered into a new phase where our first born, who in his emerging adulthood years, has now gone away to start university.  I am overall happy, although am with mixed emotions.  Our home is not the same.
