Simplicity With Your Home Wall Decor
By Marci Crane, Fri Dec 9th

I can still picture my roommate as she lay stretched out on thefloor, rummaging through a pile of Martha Stewart magazines. Itwas our mutual friend’s and we preferred to deliver ourown personalized gifts. My roommate sat on the floor,cutting out various chunks of pages from the magazines. Afterobserving her assorted scraps, she mixed and matched the paperin what formed a fitting and creative design. She neatly wrappedthe gift in her personalized wrapping paper.

In a hurry, I rushed to the nearest gift shop and purchased somepink and yellow wrapping, and then splurged on the additionaldecorations, including ribbons, a matching card and amulti-colored bow to top it off.

In comparing the two gift appearances, we had very distincttastes. My roommate’s presentation was well-thought of,personalized and simple. My gift looked more like a storedisplay flaunting the loudest and most colorful wrappingoffered. I realized then that I had executed decoration overkillon my gift wrap appearance in comparison to that of myroommate’s.
Simplicity Stands Out

I learned the hard way that simplicity is distinct and better.My roommate’s present was different, and it was clear that ourmutual friend enjoyed her gift more than the others which weregiven that day. The same principle applies to your home walldécor. As you decorate, be sure to avoid what I like to call‘the plague of generics.’ The following

interior decoratingideas will help you keep simplicity in mind.
Home walldecor

Wall Decor is anything that you would display on the wallswithin your own home. Wall decor can range from traditionalpaintings, to engravings and woodcuts or to more shapely objectssuch as small indoor water fountains. Also popular, are thevariable designs encased in glass and framed for display.Pressed flowers presented in this manner are especially popular,as the variation of color and design is flexible and assists increating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
Frames

Frames of course, are in general simple, but they provide theaura of a picture, and thus can change the entire look of yourhome. Choose frames which provide the sense of completion for apicture. If you are distracted by a frame, choose another one. Aframe is the aura of a picture, not the art.
IndoorGardening

The products of nature are naturally simple, and therefore someof the most popular forms of wall décor. Indoor gardening alsocreates the healthy, robust atmosphere that so many familiescrave. Displaying some of natures’ beautiful outside creationsto the home will bring a picturesque view along the walls ofyour home.
