rugs that can tell a thousand tales. They''ve got a bit of character
and have a ''worn in'' look, if you that''s what you like. It''s worth

Persians are an investment! On the other hand you can also find great

Interior decorating with Paintings and Pictures
You get paintings which are expensive and considered an investment,
then you get painted pictures or drawings done by your 7 year old that
are priceless. What one person considers a work of art another may
think is a piece of junk. It''s personal, you have to look at it and
enjoy it, so, buy what you like and can afford. One thing''s for sure a
nice painting or picture will change the appearance of any room, it''ll
brighten it and add warmth and character.
Framed photos and pictures also give a room a feeling of warmth and
happiness. Share your memories with others while they''re also a
reminder to you of the good times you''ve had. Photos and pictures will
give your spot a lived in and homely atmosphere.
Mirrors are also great for decoration, they instantly enlarge a small
space. It spreads light and colour around a room, in some places a nice
mirror is more effective than a painting.
Use Plants and Flowers to decorate your living room
Plants add life and natural colour to our homes. It softens a room and
makes if more pleasing and attractive. An attractive pot or container
can also change the look and feel or a room.
Then there''s nothing to beat a vase with freshly cut flowers. Flowers
blend in with any room decor. By changing the colour or type of flowers
you can change the ambiance of a room.
Whether you place St Josephs'' Lilies, a bunch of long-stemmed roses or
a mixed spray of flowers in a vase it is always a splendid accessory in
a home.

The lighting of any room is very important, a dark room is depressing
and seems small. Good lighting changes a room and is beautiful fittings
are decorative, picture a magnificent Chandelier in a living area or
entrance hall will immediately beautify the space. It makes a
statement! Lighting serves a function by providing light but it is also
decorative.
