A few years ago, global decor was all of the rage but the following year, it was a tabu, dated style. For the coming 2012, global decor is making a come-back in the interior design world. Global influences on various home decor items is going to be extremely trendy this coming spring and summer, so be sure to put them on your wish list!<br /><br />Bathroom Design Ideas<br /><br />An unexpected room in your home to decorate using the global decor trend is your bathroom. A bathroom is a small room and with basic, versatile styled fixtures, you can regularly update the theme or decor style without having to remodel the entire bathroom.</div><a name="more"></a><br /><br />Bathroom decorating ideas that incorporate global flavors could include items such as African tribal masks or African pottery. Wooden sculptures or handmade wall art are all great accessory options for this style of interior design.<br /><br />Bedroom Decorating Ideas<br /><br />When it comes to the bedroom, your options may be a bit more versatile. Consider items such as a large carved headboard, which can make a dramatic decorating statement in your bedroom. Look for styles that are Moroccan or Asian, which can be extremely unique and different from what you might see at your best friend's house, your neighbor's house or your in-laws' house. Other global styles include Parisian, Aboriginal, Southwestern, Hispanic or Latin, Caribbean and many, many more.<br /><br />Carved side tables and trendy lamps with woven shades are perfect for the global decor look. When it comes to global decor, don't be afraid of metallic shades either: golds, brass, bronze and silvers are all completely acceptable when it comes to decorating with a global influence.<br /><br />Don't be afraid to mix and match cultures in your international decor. Just because you enjoy a set of tribal chairs from Africa doesn't mean you can't mix those chairs with a nice Moroccan style coffee table. When it comes to global decor, let the decorating ideas flow. Designers from major cities everywhere; including New York interior designers and Los Angeles interior designers, aren't afraid to mix and match patterns, colors, styles and even cultures, so you shouldn't be afraid of mixing and matching either!<br /><br />Last but not least, another trend: reclaimed wood, has a place in the global design style. Reclaimed wood looks perfectly at-home when paired with other global elements, such as woven baskets, carved wooden statues or imported wall art.<br /><br />For more bedroom design ideas and interior design ideas for your whole home, check out Design Shuffle!

Classic Home Furniture Styles

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.homethelovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Appearance-an-impressive-classic-home-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://www.homethelovely.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Appearance-an-impressive-classic-home-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Classic home furniture styles endure the test of time. While trends come and go, the materials, construction, lines and proportion of classic furniture ensures that the styles will retain their popularity. Decorating a home in classic designs gives homes a look of permanency, history, and tradition. Here are several house furniture styles that have become classics in interior design.<br /><br />English Style<br /><br />The English style is a collector's dream-come-true. The look features armoires, curio, and china cabinets to showcase collections, frequently those of glass or china. Wood is the prominent material in homes decorated in the English style, from paneled walls and wood flooring, to wood living room furniture and wood-framed bed canopies. The English style also features upholstered furniture in fine fabrics, often with plaid, paisley, striped or floral patterns.</div><a name="more"></a><br /><br />The color palette for the English style includes strong, saturated colors like crimson, forest green and navy blue, as well as a heavy use of gold and golden yellow. Dark wood is favored over lighter woods like pine and oak, and the strong color palette helps balance the deep, rich tones of mahogany, walnut, and cherry. The scale of a large English manor is reflected in a modern use of the style with an oversized mirror, chandelier or floor-to-ceiling window treatment.<br /><br />French Provincial<br /><br />French Provincial furniture is influenced by the ornate style of the French Court of the 1600s and 1700s, as interpreted by the period's less affluent merchants and peasants. The scale, lines and proportions of the home furniture echo those of Louis XIV and Louis XV, but with a decidedly country feel. French Provincial furniture has a handcrafted look, with a heavy use of cane and wicker. White painted furniture also suits the French Provincial style. Strong blues and yellows are popular, as are more muted shades like terra cotta and rose. Home furniture stores may refer to this style as French Country.<br /><br />Romantic Style<br /><br />While the Romantic style does not encompass a particular historical period, due to its enduring charm and appeal, the look has achieved classic status over time. A predominant use of fabric dominates home furnishings in the Romantic style. Textiles can include rich, textured fabrics like brocade, but most often feature lighter fabrics, such as silk, lace and chintz. Painted furniture with smooth, arcing lines are popular choices for the style, as is furniture upholstered in floral patterned fabrics. Pastels comprise the Romantic style's color palette, with white used as a unifying element.<br /><br />Both online home furnishing retailers and home furniture stores offer a variety of classic furniture designs. When shopping for classic home furniture styles, identify the style by its characteristic use of material, textile and line, to ensure that the furniture you buy best reflects the style's signature look.

Four Things to Consider When Designing Your Modular Home

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media.smallhousestyle.com.s3.amazonaws.com/2011/07/karo-Karo-Cabin-rendering-510x330.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="http://media.smallhousestyle.com.s3.amazonaws.com/2011/07/karo-Karo-Cabin-rendering-510x330.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Modular home building has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few decades. Improvements in technology and efficient building practices make modular homes the premier choice for homebuyers. When potential buyers come to the design center, they are so impressed with all of the design options available to them. Three of the most important considerations they must make when designing their new home include energy efficiency, home layout, specialty features and foundation options.<br /><br />Energy-Efficiency: Many consumers choose to purchase a modular home because many manufacturers are committed to employing energy efficient building practices. Because materials can be purchased and used for multiple homes, there is much less waste involved than with traditional home building. Manufacturers offer Energy Star® appliances to help homeowners continually save money on energy costs. Additional insulation, radiant barrier roof sheathing and many other features make modular homes the energy efficient choice when it comes to new home construction.</div><a name="more"></a><br /><br />Home Layout: Browse any manufacturer's website and you will notice that there are numerous floor plans available to choose from. The modular homes of today are not like the manufactured homes of the past. Home buyers can choose from a variety of design options, including open floor plans, traditional ranch style homes, cape cods, one and two-story homes and more. Whether you need plenty of space for your growing family or a small ranch for retirement, there are homes in every price range so that every buyer is sure to find a floor plan that will meet their needs, preferences and budget.<br /><br />Specialty Features: The design choices when building a modular home are almost endless. Manufacturers offer numerous features so that each individual buyer is able to create a home that is perfect for their family's lifestyle. These homes may include porches, garages, custom kitchens, walk-in bathtubs, attics, basements, granite countertops and more. This wide selection of specialty features helps buyers completely customize a new home so that they can create the house of their dreams. You simply cannot find all of these features in a traditional home on the market today. Designing your new home allows you to custom create a house that will suit your family perfectly.<br /><br />Foundation Options: Modular homes can be built on a slab, crawlspace or even a basement foundation. You will need to consider your budget, construction time and land options when choosing an appropriate foundation for your home. Many families choose to include a basement because they will benefit from the extra living space. Others may prefer a controlled crawl space that is completely sealed and insulated from the outside environment. The price conscious consumer may opt for a slab foundation, as it is the most affordable option. No matter what your preference, you can be sure that your modular home will remain strong and sturdy for many years to come.<br /><br />When it comes time to purchase a new home, take time to explore your options with modular home construction. You may be pleasantly surprised at how affordable it can be to create the home of your dreams.
