7) Add cabinet metalware to the cabinets in your fresh summer space. Cabinet knobs as well as pulls are not only jewelry for the space, they also protects the cabinets from abrasion. In case you possess stainless steel appliances or a stainless steel sink, consider adding stainless steel doorknobs and pulls (not shiny chrome).  
  
Use the right colour scheme; this too can be a real challenge, but it is worth taking the time to figure out. To ensure the room flows well, it is imperative that all the colours mesh. Remember, this takes into account furniture, flooring, window coverings and the walls. Thus, you won't get very far by simply slashing some paint around; for this reason, you may want to hire an bedroom interior decoration for assistance here as well.  
  
Good design brings creativity can be killed by too much clutter. If you have too much stuff that is making it hard to decorate, consider getting a storage unit for your extra things. If you have lots of outdoor space, you could purchase an inexpensive storage building.  
  
You can put furniture under low ceiling areas to maximize their use. Locate the head of the bed there, a couch or chair, a dresser, desk, bookcase, or entertainment unit.  
  
A great painting, some wrought iron buy furniture, a candle stand, a huge wick on the candle and some masks at the door itself is a good way to add charm to the homely feel. More than that, you can use rugs, coat hangers, carpentry for the main door and pseudo locks which give the rustic feel at the entrance itself. Rustic also means about having less finishing in the wood work or decor. You can use the large oak jar along side vintage trunks for the complete earthy look. A fireplace is a drastic set up to get the retro feel in your villa.  
  
Before starting the inter design process, develop an appropriate mood. Think about want you want your room to do. Do you want a calm, relaxing room for leisure time? Are you wanting to get some work done here? Do you want it to entertain visitors? Even your choice of colors can influence the mood of a room.  
  
T.: I have partnered up with SYLVANIA to spread the word about their new halogen SUPERSAVER light bulb. When people are working on the design of a room, they are so focused on the furniture pieces that they often forget about one very important design element, lighting! I love to create moods using light and I always make sure to use eco-friendly light bulbs. A lot of people immediately think of CFLs, but what I'm loving right now are halogens-the SUPERSAVERs look like incandescents, are very affordable and provide great energy-savings. Even better, they deliver excellent quality and are dimmable so you can create different ambiances around your home.  
  
Often the best way to start a project like this is to work from a focal point, or center of attention. This can come in many different forms but is normally the shower curtains. It is typically the biggest accessory in the bath, and it gives the designer the opportunity to set the tone and mood for the rest of the desirable design. By allowing the kids to select them for their bathroom can be a great learning experience.
