1. Choose paint colors that match.

Choose paint that you can survive with it for a prolonged period of time. In particular, your bedroom. It is true and good if you choose colors that state your position, but within 6 months, do you still think the bright pink, "cool"?



Things need to be considered:

# In general, dark colors tend to make a room appear smaller, so, for a small room, such as the bedroom, select colors that more bright / young.



# When the walls have been painted, paint will appear darker than when it was still in the tin. Select a color color ( "shade") brighter than your original desires.

# Find the correct type of paint and learn what its impact. Examples of "SilkGlo" is a high quality emulsion paint that produces shining soft wall, easily cleaned and durable. SilkGlo very suitable for use as a protection and finish to the wall where frequent cleaning should be done, for example kitchen and room for children.

# Choose a color that will highlight your room decor. Either contrast or not, it must contribute to the decoration of rooms, not hide them.



Make review before buying. There are many WebSites that provide tips on what paint to buy, why buy it and where appropriate with rooms. You can also access the WebSite for the idea (with user photos) to decorate certain rooms. You can view results / pictures they had done with color paint and its impact on scenery in certain rooms.


2. Create a small room seem spacious.

Learn get the best results with what we have, is important because today, we have the space shrinking. Below are some ideas for you: --

# Put a mirror on the wall. If placed correctly, it can double the size of your room, at least visually. For example, dining area, put a mirror on one wall next to the dining table. Anyone who stood up and looked into the mirror will see that space is greater than the actual.



# Do not buy a curtain or veil of excessive thickness. Buy curtains that appear elegant. Thick curtains and flower can make a room look comfortable, which is not necessarily suitable for a small room. (But if this effects you want, continue your intention).




# Do not buy furniture that most large size. For example, do not buy a bed-sized "king" later if there is no space to open the closet door.

# Use a simple theme, and left only one theme. Do not make rooms seem too busy / garbled. 


3. Do not modernize everything.

Examples: for this example in the kitchen. Many people want to decorate their kitchen again. Cooking is "Rock 'n' Roll" and a new kitchen is his stage. With cook like Chef Wan, Chef Ismail Sabri Chef, Chef Zaida and others, many people really began to enjoy cooking.

If you have a house that has old fashion kitchen, do not remove all only to be replaced with all that new. Sometimes the old is actually new in fashion. Improve all, give your kitchen a new paint and give emphasis on the retro-style decor in your kitchen. If it is done correctly, you will have a very stylish kitchen. You can also mix the modern with the old.



A good example of the "old" but still "cool" and highlight the modern:

# Chair / bench long.



# Accessories such as opening bottles.

# Photos or paintings of the past. You may be able to buy old photographs in the shop concerned.



4. Decorate the wall.



Decorate the walls with pictures, paintings and calligraphy / calligraphy that frame. A blank wall as if to give the impression of an empty room (but boring). But the key here is make sure the frame is a photo of good quality and appearance of the beautiful frame.

Frame the true highlight effects pictures or photos. Pictures of beautiful, when framed will look great. Add "border" on the picture will also reveal variations.

And, use frames that match the decor of the room. There are a variety of picture frames in the market. We have a simple, modern decor and full. As mentioned earlier, let parallel with room decor. Survey first what is on the market before taking the decision to buy.


5. Use good lighting effects.



Determine what must be lighted (whether a room or just a piece of painting)?, And ways to highlight the surrounding environment. Modern reading lamp suitable for reading rooms, chandelier for space in or lamps for living room. Also consider, you can create effects by using soft light bulb that produces light colors "warm" (friendly).

There are several ways to install lights that highlight the environment of a room: --

# Lights Highlight - to highlight the wall decoration, pictures and drawings. Often used in the living room and dining area for hiding a point which is the focus.



# Sitting or standing lamp gives effect to that of the lighting in obscure corners. Spillover light from the light make a space to sit and see a romantic view. Widely used in the relaxed space, living room and bedrooms.



# Hanging lamp is often used as the main source of light. Usually used in family activities. For example the family room or a place to gather for a study, living room and dining area.



# Chandelier Lamp provides magnificent and sparkling effects. Luxury homes typically use many elements of glass and golden-colored furniture, lighting chandelier can reflect light from the sparkling-furnitures.



Outside there are many shops that offer various types of light, so, survey first and determine which is the best for you.


6. Trash is not only trash.

You have to think of things that small. Just because the trash where you remove the rubbish, this does not mean you can not have trash interesting. You will be shocked how many people will be praised if you have a beautiful trash. Because we have no place to hide trash, it is placed in the open in the kitchen, then it becomes accessory.



Moreover, it is not just about trash. It may be the key rack, place the bread store or place ashes in the living room.





See this picture. Rooms quite small, but once you step in, eyes focused on painting on the wall. Then you see the light at the edge, you do not notice the room is really small.

There are several ways to do this: --

1. Use the architecture - eg, the window is reflected



2. Use as flower vases  - can also use potted plants



3. Use works of art - paintings, photos or carved flower pots






7. Create a simple flow path.

Also known as the flow of traffic ( "traffic flow") in the internal decorative arts, this route is the way that people will pass to move in your house, around furniture, and others. You will notice the pattern on the carpet after a period of time because of high traffic flow can leave the effects of tear and wear on the carpet.

Do not make your guests (or yourself) had to move goods or be avoid furniture when walking. Try make spaces in your home easily accessible, even while many people.



To create a password that is easy on the pass in the house, try the following ideas: --

# Leave enough space between the furniture, so people easily move between the furniture.

# Make the destination path that have functions - eg the living room, make sure you can move to the entrance, light switches and seat without much resistance.

Something simple such as traffic routes see the kinds of non-critical, but more likely your guests will remember your home because of severe route questioner other thing is better.


8. Assign functions to each room.

Assign functions to each room and ensure that each function can be done in the room.

2 notable examples: --

# Separate guests require seat, and a table for guests to drink the cup when putting away. Try not force guests to make things that do not necessarily enjoy in them, such as holding a hot cup of coffee to cool enough to slurp. Certainly you can make your table as a feature that can be highlighted in your living room.



# Rooms certainly require a bed to sleep. But it is really useful if you have a table in a small bed side table lamp and may be located on it.




9. Be hardworking to do some reviews.
