Select Your Wall Color First:
Selecting the wall colors for the rooms is the first step towards a good home interior design. Based on our preferences, some of which are affected by cultural and social factors, we should first decide how we want our walls to look and the color, texture and form that it should take. The texture and color we give to the walls sets the stage for the wall decor. The trick in home interior decorating is to develop and integrate a harmonious balance between all the elements that you would use to create room design. Blending color, pattern and texture in decorating is just like creating music. If you get the right note with the color, you have set the right tone for room design. Get it wrong and the pattern and rhythm you have planned for your home interior design can go chaotic.
If you are looking for dark colors, look to those colors that have calming qualities such as blue, green, brown and purple. Colors carry meaning. For instance, red conveys the closeness to the heart and passion, while a combination of dark purple and gold enhances the sacredness of room space. Getting the right decorative finishes and colors for the walls set the stage for more creative pursuits.
The very size of a wall makes it an important element in your home interior design project. Walls can be made to stand out dramatically or serve as a backdrop for more creative solutions including wall decor and other objet d'art accessories.
Deck the Walls:
Once we have selected the background for our wall color, selecting the required home decor accessories such as decorative wall mirrors, wall sconces and wall sculptures can be easy. We will suggest several interior decorating ideas and home decorating tips to boost the look of your wall decor and wall art projects.
Kaviik's Accents has featured several wall decor and interior design ideas in its Wall Decor and Home Decor catalogs that you could use to deck the walls - all our wall decor and wall art combine the classic and modern home furnishings and are priced to fit the budget. We want our customers to realize that home decorating need not be an expensive activity. It can be an extremely pleasurable activity.
Home Decorating Tips for the Wall:
Once you have achieved a serene and harmonious balance with the color of
Decorative wall mirrors can make a dramatic impression in any home. Choosing the right mirror for the entrance to your home especially in the foyer and hallway can do wonders in impressing your guests on the style and setting that you have chosen for the rest of your home. Choose rich decorative mirrors such as the wall mirror we have featured here. Add a console table and a wall mirror in the foyer or stair landings. Mirrors can help visually expand what can be a small or narrow space. They also add depth to an area. The console table can be used as an ideal spot to drop off mail or your car keys while the mirror offers a spot for a last minute appearance adjustment.

Suitable for both classical and modern settings.
We have many wall decor suggestions and interior design ideas from our home decorating catalogs that you might consider for accenting your wall space. Whatever, the choice you make, your wall decor projects can be a refreshing experience. Most decorative accessories available today, when mounted in the right place, can command considerable attention and do a lot in heightening the look and feel of a room.
If you choose classical wall decor, there are an array of classic motifs that can adorn wall brackets such as the one highlighted above and wall plaques. They could include the acanthus (lobed leaves), dentil moldings (featuring a series of ornamental notches) and guilloche (circular interlaced bands).
Wall Decor falls into two basic categories - wall art or architectural designs. We can define wall art as paintings, framed prints or photos, wall murals or trompe l'Oeil murals. Architectural designs encompass objet d'art such as wall sculptures, corbels, onlays, moldings, wall plaques, wall brackets, columns, and any other architectural objects that complement the room design you want. For instance, if your home has been structurally built to reflect the Colonial or Victorian flavor, then you may not have to work too hard on including any architectural or decorative details. However, modern homes may not have many of these architectural elements built into them. The trick then is to introduce those features using the architectural designs described such as wall sculptures, plaques and wall brackets that create that sense of style and history....and that old house look.
Consider the wall sconce we have highlighted here - the decorative treatment that this architectural element can give to the living room or foyer and even the over mantel (which is the wall over the mantel), sets the stage for a traditional interior. The intricate carvings and melodious detailing of this piece of wall decor can make an impressive statement to the human eye while setting a tone for the appreciation of the art.
