THE walls of your home talk through the wall decor you choose. Your walls make a statement about your tastes, values and way of life. They also preserve and celebrate all the things that make you unique.

But most importantly, they wrap you in beauty and comfort during your precious hours at home, whether your taste runs to metal wall art, wall mirrors, large wall clocks, centre pieces and wall candle holders.

Barbara Ssekatawa, the proprietor of Barbie’z and an artist who uses old metals to make great wall hangings, house decorations and interior decors, says one can use wall clocks, wall mirrors, wall shelves, metal wall décor, and architectural pieces or wire metal wall hangings to add glamour to his home.

She adds that smaller sectional sofas work well in older houses. “A sectional sofa is a comfortable addition to any living room or family room. However, it needs large space so that it does not overwhelm the rest of the room.”

However, Ssekatawa says there is a smaller version of sectional couch that is perfect for smaller homes or rooms.

She notes that a quick kitchen makeover can be as simple as changing from metal art decor to wall art. However, when designing a kitchen layout, more work and planning is required since some floor plans will work better than others.

Through the ages, tile has been a colourful and versatile design material that can be used to great effect. Tiles can be used for any style — from the most contemporary kitchen design, to an elegantly, sophisticated bathroom.

Some home owners like the idea of remodelling their own bedroom, while others cannot fathom where to begin a remodelling project. Whenever one decides to remodel a bedroom, it is a good idea to map out the scope of the work involved to complete the remodel, and then make the assessment of whether or not to call in a professional.

Colour, is one of the easiest ways to unite all of the elements in a room’s design. When colours are mismatched or clashing, it has a very divisive effect on the look of a room. By coordinating colours used throughout the room, a decorator can create harmony between the elements in the room and pull the eye smoothly throughout the area.

Creating a custom shower curtain with accessories to match few things are more frustrating than finding the perfect shower curtain for an amazing bathroom design only to discover that the price tag is simply out of reach.

To avoid running into this problem, perhaps consider making a designer shower curtain out of a bed sheet that is every bit as attractive as a high priced designer curtain. Not only are sheets available in many different attractive designs, but they can often be found on sale.
