Go “Green” By Shopping Consignment Stores…continued

Last but not least, wall art is a very important finishing touch to your new design.  Consignment stores generally have an interesting mix of pieces.  When selecting your art consider the room and the story it is telling.  Is it a fun, funky room? Then use simple framed geometric or unrealistic floral.  If you’re searching for a more romantic or formal ambience, pick your frames with care: try ornate frames with simple subject matter,  this will add texture and interest without distracting from you main theme.  Remember, wall art should enhance the room, not distract from the overall theme.

Classic ornate framed artwork

Simple contemporary art

To sum it up for 2010 the keywords for decorating are, Green, natural, vibrant color, and texture.  Now you are armed with your arsenal of minimal-cost decorating ideas. Go forth and create!

See you in the store soon!
