2. Replace Lamps- Lamps are probably the one thing in your home that will give others a clue that your room is outdated. Seek out new and fresh lamps that make a statement.
3. Add A Throw Or Afghan- Similar to decorative pillows, throws and afghans add texture to your furniture. They come in all kinds of natural and man made fabrics. Find a pattern and style that you like.
4. Eliminate Clutter- Clutter has a way of eliminating the desired mood and effect of any room. Find storage spaces for papers, toys, and other items that take from the personality of a room.

Not all home decorating ideas require a heavy investment of time and money.
Home Decorating Ideas
1. Rearrange The Furniture- Pull your furniture away from the walls. Try positioning it at intriguing angles. For example, a sofa arranged diagonally across a narrow living room will make the room look wider.
2. Paint A Wall- Paint one wall your favorite color and make it the focal point. Hang interesting art on that wall and move a nice piece of furniture there. (Note: Make sure that the color is one that is shared with several other objects and fabrics in the room.)
3. Bring In Plants- Greenery always adds a breath of fresh air to a room. If you don’t have a green thumb, try silk plants and trees. The quality has gotten so good that its hard to distinguish them from the real thing.

Room-By-Room Home Lighting Ideas
You’ll find that there are literally hundreds of home lighting options for your home. Think of lighting from two aspects….functional and aesthetic.
Functionally, home lighting needs to provide the correct type of light in sufficient quantity for the intended purpose. Aesthetically, it can be configured to create the desired mood through its intensity and color.
Below are some ideas for lighting the various rooms in your home. And if you’re interested in learning which light bulbs are best suited for your lighting fixtures, click here… Home Lighting Fixtures.
Living Rooms
- Place a lamp behind every reader’s shoulder…about 42 inches above the floor. Click on this link for ideas on re-energizing outdated Table Lamps.
- Highlight a framed piece of art with halogen track lighting or by attaching a picture light
- Use accent lights to illuminate book or display shelves.
- Install recessed lighting as your general lighting or to bring out beautiful wall textures (use a dimmer)
- Slim strip lights come in just about any length and can stick to the edge of shelves or ledges to highlight displays or provide a soft wash to a wall
Kitchens
- A grid of recessed ceiling cans will provide great general lighting
- Install individual recessed down-lights as task lighting for the sink and range
- Place halogen pendant lights over bars and counters
- Under-cabinet lights make excellent task lighting
Dining Rooms
- A chandelier over the dining room table creates a beautiful setting (use a dimmer)
- Highlight a framed piece of art with halogen track lighting or by attaching a picture light
- Install halogen strip lighting your china cabinet to highlight china or collectibles
- If a chandelier is not your taste and you have a long table, try a trio of pendant lights
