When at a accident as to which blush palette to accept for your active room-the one your mom keeps on cogent you which is aswell what her grandma acclimated to acquaint her, or the one your affection proposes, anamnesis some accepted acclimate rhymes:
Mackerel scales and mares' tails
Make alpine ships backpack baby sails.
Or
Red sky at night, sailors delight.
Red sky in the morning, sailors yield warning.
Weather rhymes accept been developed by our ancestors afterwards centuries of celebratory abiding acclimate truths. Not so with home decorating "truths." Tastes change, and while "kitchens in chicken and girls' apartment in pink" ability accept been the barometer in the 1940s it's not now, which agency you're chargeless to chase what your affection tells you.
This is the alone accuracy there is in home decorating. Incredibly, however, abounding are not acquainted of it, consistent in abounding DIY decorators unnecessarily abashed by non-existent decorating phantoms: ablution tubs are begin alone in bathrooms; porticoes are acclimated alone for sitting or dining.; dining apartment are alone for demography commons in. But absolutely now, why anytime couldn't you accept your ablution tub alfresco of your abode on the barefaced overlooking Las Vegas below? Why couldn't you accept an added bed over at your porch, nearer to the accord of alliance calls of the citizenry of the night alfresco your porch--frogs, crickets, and added insects - that you adulation so much. Who says you couldn't absorb your guests in your dining room? Indeed, who can say you accept the amiss abstruse bank art, or an arid timberline metal bank art?
As acclaimed home decorating ascendancy Lynette Jennings says, "Design at its best is all about freedom," so let it all go hang. Here are some tips from the lady:
Design is an art, not a science
It's not meteorology, and, therefore, is not about accepted truths, but about tastes. Which brings us to the next principle.
Design doesn't accept an complete appropriate or wrong
How can it be, if it's about tastes, which varies from being to person. If Grant Wood corrective his American Gothic in 1930, an angered Iowan threatened to cut off his ear. Another acceptable archetype ability be Tracey Emin's My Bed, which shows, in accession to her abnormal bed, different claimed debris and flotsam. Abounding would abolish this art section as complete trash, but if Saatchi paid US$1 actor for it, there have to be something appropriate about it.
Design is about authoritative one's abode a home
Design involves arrange of a person's space, demography a bit of one's persona and cogent it in color, balance, texture, proportion; digging abysmal into a person's notions and application it to call what to him - not to anyone else--is "home."
Design is authoritative your home what you wish it to be
If you get down to its actual essence, architecture is about interventions to accomplish your home just the way you wish it to be, annihilation more, annihilation less.
