Today we are spoilt for choice in every area of home decorating. So I will provide a few guidelines to help you weed out what you don't need and leave you with a way of deciding what you do! Fittings and Fixtures basically mean every thing that is fixed in your home. Appliances, bathroom ware, taps and faucets, light switches, light fittings, mirrors, heating fittings, door handles and locks - you get the picture? To try and simplify how to pick out these items for your home, whether it is a new home or you are doing alterations, I will speak in general terms and not go down to each individual item.All fittings and fixtures in your home should have some sort of uniformity, be this by color, finish or style. There is nothing worse than opening doors in a home and each handle feels different and is at different heights, similar problems with light switches. Try and keep things simple - the old "KISS" method works well in this case. "Keep it Simple Stupid!" Fittings and f
Color, as we have learnt is an important factor in interior decorating, added with fabric we start to create a stylish interior. Fabrics have many uses, some are purely aesthetic, while others are truly functional. Curtains are a functional use for fabric.

Today I am going to give you some easy ways to use color well when you decorate. Always choose one color to start your scheme. That color can come from an existing piece of artwork, a rug, existing upholstery fabric, or a silk flower arrangement. if you are decorating from plans or blue prints then it is often best to start planning color from the floor up. Decide what type of look and or color scheme. (Use your last lesson how to brain storm your style ideas and visit how to use the color wheel as tools for this selection). Then start "layering" your color using your selected color scheme, start with the largest areas, floor, walls and ceiling. Slowly bring in other large pieces, furniture, chairs, etc. Remembering to balance the room. Don't group all the same color in one area, "sprinkle" it so that it is easy on your eye. Using patterns is often a hurdle for some people so they just don't bother, and the color scheme lacks interest. We need to make our schemes look alive by us

I will touch on a few more things I think are vitally important. As a matter of fact you might want to write these on the inside of your eyelids.1) Write Articles On What You Feel Passionate AboutWhat heats your chili? What fries your bacon? What gets your mojo going? Whatever your mojo is. It is a lot easier to come up with content on something you are very familiar with and excited about. Also you won't mind doing the research because you love the topic. I admit this one is obvious but you'd be surprised how many people try to write on things they couldn't care less about because someone said they should.
