It might just be a fresh coat of paint and details in the decorating that make a difference. To get ideas, continue to visit other websites, check out designing catalogs and books from your local library, or get a decorating magazine from a bookstore, preferably, an online store.
Before adding in the candles and other accents, consider the style, or theme you are trying to convey. Remember, as different as room styles may be, they still must flow together, so you don’t go directly from a cottage-themed Living Room to a retro-styled Family Room. If cottage is your theme, you could use a variety of different accents to get the flow into the next room; let that be hanging plants, candles, etc.
For example, let’s say you want to remodel your master bathroom…a very common remodeling project. Fine, but don’t forget about the Master Bedroom. This doesn’t mean you need to remodel the bedroom as well, just take note in the styling and have it flow, and the best and easiest way to accomplish that is through wall color. If your bath will be significantly different, then you may want to also paint the bedroom, though no other work would be necessary.
Along with the draperies, paint, mirrors, etc., don’t forget that you can add some ambience to any room with a good selection of candles. Selecting the right candle holder will also help create the mood you are looking for. If your theme is something more traditional, then possibly a set of traditional drip-wax candles with a wrought iron holders would be best.
Just remember, when you make a style or theme change, it requires you to match everything else as well, such as soap dishes, any baskets, or storage you have in the room. Yes, you certainly want to be practical, but don’t just settle, there are many ways to get what you need at a reduced cost.
Finding your decor at discount is rather easy, certainly less effort than most would imagine. For a good look, you could use less expensive, less flair votive candles surrounding your bath. There is a wide variety of styles, sizes, and colors of holders to choose from. There’s really no need to drive to a local retailer, simply check out the selections available at online stores, plus you will probably find a much larger selection.
Using the traditional example, you could select framed wall mirrors, wall scones, vintage or glass shelves. Be cautious not to clash art deco with some other style.
