• Hawaiian theme is becoming increasingly popular decoration ideas for living spaces and bathrooms. Creating a tropical themed room is simple with a few tiki masks and flip-flops. Adding beach photos will also help to enhance the Hawaiian feel of the room as well.

Most people still vehemently refuse to paint any of their walls in black, accenting furniture with black throw pillows or blankets is one way to create a dramatic effect in any room. Some people will also do this by adding black and white photos to help accent the room.


• Using decorations instead of wallpapering the kitchen is one of the soundest pieces of advise in interior decorating. This is because the wallpaper will get dirty quickly as you cook.
