The art of stamping has been improving the look of people's homes for hundreds and even thousands of years. Stamping allows you to create a consistent design over a big area. Whether you use the very same colors to create an identical repeating image, or whether you use a dissimilar color each time, your pattern will look cohesive if you use a stamp.
Stamps can be made from many materials, including natural latex, wood, and potatoes.
The easiest do-it-yourself stamp is made from a potato, cut open to expose a flat surface. After drawing the design on the flat surface of the potato, use a craft knife to cut away any area you do not want to display up in your image. The remaining material should form the shape of your flat image of choice. Dab that surface in ink or paint, and you have a stamp that is reusable and biodegradable.
Now you are ready to personalize your interior decor. Stamps make good border designs on floors, along the perimeter of ceilings, the backs of chairs, the perimeter of tables, the tops of walls, and fabric for curtains, bedspreads, pillow covers, furniture slip covers, and anyplace you'd like to create beautiful designs. If you use the very same stamps on the furniture, curtains, bedspread, the tops of the walls, and the perimeter of the floor, you create harmonious room decor.

The combination of textures used in a room's design is just as crucial as the color scheme. The shiny Thai silk and polyester fabric used on these throw pillows should be used with care. It can be a terrific way to inject a touch of silky grandeur into an otherwise dull room and the variety of colors, including Dark Fuchsia, Champagne Gold, Blue, Cranberry Red, Orange Gold, Khaki Green can be played with, either together, or going with one shade that works with your theme.

Be careful not to overdo the silk touch, and mix it well with other fabrics. Consider echoing the shiny fabric with a similar window treatment, and do not go overboard with colors, and this can be a wonderful and affordable way to get some oomph into your room.

over here's a great idea for a kid's room. Not only is it a fun decor theme, it is educational as well. These illustrated alphabet stickers show both the capital and lowercase letters, and a picture of some thing that will remind your child of the sound the letter makes. Your child will learn to read faster and more fluently, if these stickers are the first thing s/he sees upon waking and the last thing s/he sees before falling asleep. Perfect for making them feel grown up and offering them stimulating challenges, they are also colorful art pieces.
The stickers come in a variety of sizes from 2 inches by 1 inch and 1/4 up to 9 inches by 12 inches and 1/4. The best feature, is that these stickers can be peeled off and moved as many times as you like, without damaging them or the wall. How's that for a no-risk experiment in kid's room decor?
A few ideas for creative decor themes:
Get more than one set, and spell each child's name over his/her bed.
Spell out sentences or phrases that inspire your child to read. Change the text before s/he comes home from school or kindergarten, or preschool, and make a game of sounding out each new arrangement.
Place them in alphabetical order, and make a game of looking up words in the dictionary. Every time s/he forgets the order of the alphabet, s/he need only look up and see it on the wall.
These sticker sets make great gifts, and are so affordable that you can get more than one set.
