Many of us like to collect art pieces, snapping pictures, or printing posters. However, the hard truth is we keep these items in boxes for years most of the times. It is because skillful hanging of art pieces is not as easy as to collect them. You can consider the following suggestions for hanging your art pieces: Simplicity is the best option. If you are befuddled with the color combination of mats and frames, go for the simplest one – black and white. White mats and black frames is the most versatile color combination that can be used at anywhere. However, you can also choose colored frames if you want to enliven the surroundings. Another good trick is to hang the pieces at eye level. You may notice that most of the art galleries hang pictures at average eye level. It will be irritating and uncomfortable to the eyes if you hang pictures too high on the walls. So, do some math before hanging art pieces in order to spot the right height. Do not forget to adjust for furniture underneath. If not calculated precisely, you might end up creating a bizarre-looking large gap between the art and the furniture underside. And, for kid’s room, hang the items a little bit lower than usual. A grid style art hanging may need some patience on your part, but it is a very good way to make a big statement. Through this style, you can also keep focus on a particular image if you want to. Place the picture that you want to highlight in the center and adjust other pieces around it by keeping two to three inches distance between the frames. If you have a spectacular frame, highlight it by placing alone on a...

It’s easy to build a home office. Most people work on the computer now, so it is simple to just buy a really big desk, table lamp, and chair, and you’re in business. A good notebook, of a big size, is also a good recommendation. Your home office is ready to set up once you’ve got those three elements. You can get a fold-out table so it is easy to move around to different parts of the house. You can also get a table lamp that is aluminum to match the look of your notebook. The chair should be at least $2,000, and be highly comfortable. If you are not as comfortable as possible in your chair, then you are not going to really relax in your home office. You should also get an aluminum table because it is the best color to match up with your notebook. These key elements will contribute to a really great home office.

When designing and decorating a room for a girl, it is best to go with bright but soft colors such as pink, white, or a light blue. A mixture of colors will add balance and make the room much more dynamic to fit her lifestyle. For teenage girls, it might be a good idea to have a full body mirror and crisp lighting for makeup application. Large windows are always a plus especially because it promotes energy conservation and natural lighting. Designing a more spacious room is also a good idea because more than likely she will have lots of sleepovers to show off her awesome room! P.S: Don’t forget the wallpaper! This makes her room more exciting. I recommend letting her choose the pattern or go for the cool magnetic photo...
