Interior decorating projects can be a lot of fun especially when you have a large enough space to plan out innovative and interesting layouts. This can be the part of the design process that will make it enjoyable. For homes or apartments that have limited spacing, it might be a little bit more difficult, but with a little thought and clever placement, you can make any space decorative and comfortable to live in.

The problems most people face is the addition of furniture and accessories that take up too much room. Floor space is integral to a living area because it allows for a good flow of traffic along with letting you add different furnishings to accent you place. This is why it is better to have an open floor than clutter it up with different accoutrements.

When you begin the decorating, think about what is absolutely necessary and what is not. This does not necessarily mean you cannot adorn your living space with the things you want; it is just that you have to be a bit craftier when doing so. Instead of using the floor, you can place visually capturing design pieces on the wall.

The wall can be a great alternative to the floor space because you can add art pieces, wall shelves or wall lights. It is a versatile part of the home that allows you more room to decorate. Adding shelves to free up the floor space or for storage is a good idea if you have a small room to work with. You can also add wall paintings or decorative art along with the shelves without it clashing.

Lighting can also help a small space look bigger. The layering of lights softens the normally harshness of the overhead light, but when you add multiple layers it will definitely produce a warmer atmosphere. In a small area, using multiple light sources will even out the lighting effect and create an overall better living area. This can be accomplished by adding wall lights that do not take up too much room. Smaller sized wall sconces will be sufficient. They come in several sizes with one or multiple attachments depending on how much light you need. The style of the light is for you to choose according to your home’s theme and your personal preferences.

An innovative and amusing wall light idea that was designed and created by Alice Rosignoli is called the Tall & Tiny Sticker Lamps. These are light sources that are taped on to the wall with an actual bulb attached. It is functional and it takes up virtually no room on the wall and absolutely no space from the floor. It is simply a black tape outline of a large floor lamp and a table lamp.

Another funky wall light design is the Liquid Lamp created by Kouichi Okamoto. It is a lamp that can be attached to the wall or it can be placed on top of a small table. It appear to be spilling contents from its shade that somewhat resemble milk (white version) or blood (red version). It also looks to be floating because it does not have a stand. It is a fun accessory to spruce up a plain or dull area.

They way that you stylize your home depends on what you want to portray and how you want it to feel, but these inventive and contemporary twists on the idea of lights is a fun way of decorating your interiors when you have less space to work with.

Nautical Themed Wall Sconce

Picking a specific design and sticking to it is a hard thing to do because people sometimes change their minds in the middle of a design project and go a totally different direction. This can be quite hard, especially if you have spent much time developing your design layout. This is why it is best to set up a plan with all the style and make up a mock outline of what furniture and fixtures you are going to get and where you are going to place them. This will save a lot of time and money because it allows you to visualize what and where things would fit and function best.
After you have made up your mind on the kind of style you want, it is time to execute it. An interesting and cozy style you might want to consider is a nautical themed room. This is for those who love the ocean and anything that pertains to that genre of design. It is reminiscent of the seaside and sailing vessels, so there are many home furnishings that resemble such items. It also uses colors to capture the essence of the ocean, which will create a tranquil environment.
The first thing you might want to do is pick out a wall covering or paint that brings about the spirit of the ocean. Such colors include pale blues, soft whites, taupe or khaki. If you decide to color the walls in a nice soft blue, then you might want to contrast it by purchasing furniture in neutral shades or even off white. This can then be accented by bold blues and reds for trimmings and outlining different furniture pieces. It is better to keep the bold colors on smaller more detailed areas because it will create a visually interesting set up.
Lighting fixtures can also come in a nautical design, which usually incorporates some kind of metal work that surrounds the light source. It sometimes looks like it is made of heavy material because these lights were used outdoors and needed to withstand the changing weather conditions. You can actually use this design for the exterior of your homes by purchasing outdoor nautical hanging lights, wall sconces, ceiling lights and post lights. It will add to the interior theme of the home, making it an all encompassing design aesthetic.
Another aspect of nautical design is the use of accessories and accenting pieces, after the essentials have been chosen. Furnishings that have wood or made of wood like wicker chairs or rockers can be a visual delight. It can also be a functional piece of furniture as well. Seaside accents like shells and candle sticks would be a great thing to utilize. Wrought iron candle sticks will contrast the light hearted ocean themes that might come off a bit fluffy-looking if it is overdone.
After you have added all the pieces that you think will make your place a comfortable nautical themed area, and then look over what might not work and get rid of it. It is best to have an uncluttered and spacious living space than an overly decorated mess. It is good to be a minimalist when you are designing, so that you can prevent yourself from over-decorating. All in all, have fun with interior decorating and enjoy your home.
