Using Taupe in Room Decor

The color Taupe is neutral without being as well cold or as well warm. This midpoint between grey and brown is harmonious and allows a meditative frame of mind. The many tonal variations of taupe allow it to compliment a wide variety of decor choices including silver colored metals, and it looks especially good with natural fibers and materials.

In a Taupe colored room, you need layers of texture for contrast. An embroidered bedspread is set off by satiny pillows. Rough flag stone and sheer drapes allow two taupe colored design elements to contrast, while complimenting each other.

Decor choices that blend harmoniously with Taupe include: Paint that is pure white; wood that is stained dark; natural linens with purple undertones; glass that is clear, used in vases, lamp bases, and knobs; stones that contain blue or grey; mom of pearl; metals with a silver hue; brown and grey d?cor items, especially when combined; and accents of red, green, or purple for a splash of drama.
D?cor choices that do not go well with taupe include anything that contains yellow, such as: paint or porcelain that is buttery or creamy colored; woods that are golden colored, like oak and unfinished pine; linens that are yellow hued; leathers that are tan or buckskin colored; stones or carpets that contain beige; accessories that have yellow undertones, like brass and copper, or anything sand toned.

The Volcano Bed – Bedroom Decor Idea

Your bed can become a volcano if you do a bit of creative decor.
Start with a bed that has a head board but no foot board. Paint the whole bed black. Upholster the head board with bright red satin in the shape of lava flowing down and out ward to spread over the base from a single spot on the top surface of the headboard. This will make a nice back rest when stuffed. The river of glowing hot lava is continued with the bedding.

Cover the bed in matching red satin sheets, pillow cases, comforter cover, and bead spread to look like the continuation of the lava flow coming from the volcano's vent, and add a few black throw pillows to look like chunks of cooled hardened lava that broke off. The bed skirt could be either red or black, depending on how old you want the lower lava flow to look. A red satin skirt over a black frame would give the impression of layered stratigraphy and help to create the lava falls spilling onto the floor.

A red curvy area rug at the side or foot of the bed would continue that lava theme, making it appear to pool. Surround the rug with black bean bag chairs to look like cooled hardened lava rock formations.

For added effect, paint the wall over the top of the head board to look like a rising plume of smoke and ash.

If your volcano is underwater, add lots of bubbles to the painting of rising ash plumes. If you are really ambitious, you can attach a shelf to the back of the headboard and sit a bubble machine on it, hidden under the top surface, just behind the place you've made to look like the vent point. The bubble machine should always be operated with an adult present.

The lava bed is one of the easier theme beds to design and create.

Matching Your Dining Room Furniture

Are you going bankrupt trying to buy a matching dining room set? There's no need! By mixing and adapting disparate designs, we can create a cohesive and attractive dining room decor scheme that you adore. It just requires a bit of thought and a few tools.

Four different chairs can feel like a set if painted the very same color, and stenciled with the very same designs. Use the very same stencil to ring the edge of the table with a border design, and viola! You have a matching set of chairs and table (even if you got each piece at a separate garage sale). This can also be done with rubber stamp art. Painting the furniture all the very same color and then using ink or paint in a contrasting color to stamp the very same design on each piece of furniture will unify the decor theme.

Using the very same fabric to cover or upholster the chairs, and then using that fabric as a border on the table cloth and runners for the china cabinet will create a consistent theme as well. The eye will be drawn to the commonality of the color and texture, rather than the difference in the shape of each chair.

Remember that your dining room is where you eat and converse with friends and family, so dining room decor should not impede easy access, cleaning, or comfort. It is more crucial to have each chair be user friendly, than to have them match perfectly.
