Decor Thoughts: Unique touches in your home

July 7, 2011
It’s all in the details.  Maybe you have a million bucks to spend on your home (err which is a 1-2 bedroom in mid-town NYC) and maybe you don’t.  But when you select or build your home, it’s all in the details.  It could be a statement piece of furniture, a stunning new way of viewing an object, or a pop of color.  These items may not have to break the bank (especially if they came with the place) but will produce a grand effect on your home.

Light up a room with a bold color

Personalize a room in a subtle way with photographs on your wallpaper

Do something functional and space saving, like this bookcase and remote control, hidden bed (and save time on dusting!)

Look for a unique spin on something common, like this column spiral staircase

    I’m loving the red room and that staircase! There are so many ways to make your space unique – I really need to jump on decorating our apartment seeing as how we have been here for well over one year now . . .

    have not thought about photos as part of wallpaper. it’s such a great idea and a fun thing to style a room around 🙂

  • Andrea Reh July 8, 2011 at 05:42

    Agree with number one – I have a red feature wall in my room.
