Home decorating has always been something that most people feel they need to improve upon. It is how interior designers get their job. We hire someone to come in and tell us what style would look good for our homes and then we change up our style and mix it with theirs. The goal for some is to have every room colored in ways that allow you to feel a certain flow from one room to another, without feeling overwhelmed by all the similar colors. This is easier now, thanks to the fact that fashion and interior design are coming together in the way that they are. We are using the same materials, the same colors, and the same textures in our daily wardrobe that we are decorating our homes with. Is this a good idea in your opinion?

Looking to the Past

If you look back and think about it, clothing and furnishings have always shared something in common. They have always been designed to make an impression on whoever sees them. You wear clothes that you feel looks good on you in colors that you feel are most suited to you. Why wouldn’t your home deserve the same consideration? At one time, virtually every home had a couch with a brown pattern on it, some would also have burnt orange. They were slightly fuzzy, like a suede fabric. This was also during a time when people were happy to wear their suede clothing, but their clothing choices were often a little bolder in color than brown or orange. A few years ago, it came back into style, in both clothing and furniture. Vinyl is the same way, but most of us have never worn vinyl. Therefore, we opted for leather couches and leather jackets. It is a trend that has always been there, but the link between the two is just now becoming more and more evident.

The Fabrics We Love

There are a lot of people who love to wear bright colors, but there are also just as many who prefer neutral or pastels. Therefore, most home furnishings are also available in these colors. If you walk into a furniture store, you may see a lot of brown couches in leather, cloth, or fuzzy. Most are in earthy tones or black. The accessories are where you will find bursts of color. It is here that you will find fuzzy rugs that have long tassels all over them, shiny throw pillows in bold, beautiful colors, and other types of materials or colors everywhere. Even crochet rugs are available for you to purchase if you are unable to crochet your own. They resemble warm fuzzy sweaters and people are loving them in the store and in their homes. Perhaps you will as well.

Choose Your Own Personal Style

There are ways that you can create a home that is as beautiful and as unique as you are using the fabrics and colors that you love the most. We no longer need an interior designer to help us out. There are so many choices for anyone who wants to decorate a home and most of the time, you do not have to spend a fortune to achieve a style that fits your family’s needs. Are you ready to see what you can create in your home?
