Interior design ideas

The accomplishment of the house depends not only on the lay-out, type and arrangement of the furniture, but it also depends on the color of the walls, a choice of lighting devices, tapestry materials.
Curtains and tapestry materials
Curtains and drapery are one of basic elements of an ornament of the house.
The purpose of curtains and draperies is not only to create a beautiful frame of doors and windows, - they can protect a room from the sharp temperature fluctuations, darken the premises. It is necessary to remember that curtains should not deprive the room of sufficient natural illumination.
Curtains can visually soften substantial lacks of windows or doors of a room - to extend or to expand them. For example, to make the window look widely, curtains and draperies should be hang up on both parties of the window????????s aperture, grasping a part of a wall on the right or on the left. If you want to narrow the window, attach curtains to the eaves correspondent to the size of the window????????s aperture, and lead up the length of the curtains almost to a floor.
If walls of the room are painted or pasted over by wall-papers without figure, it is possible to use fabrics with figure for curtains and draperies, and it is desirable, that the background or figure of a fabric corresponded to painting of walls, it should be one color with the walls, but to be of other shade.
If draperies or a decorative fabric are smooth, you should choose tulle without figure.
Checkered fabrics are widely use for making curtains, covers, cloths, sofa pillows and or, even, for upholstering of the furniture. For a room painted in light tone, choose a light checkered fabric.
Curtains and draperies from expensive fabrics - like silks and velvet - make lined-up as they hung heavier and with deep folds and so that the fabric did not spoil, or did not burn out from the sun.
Carpets
Large carpets or carpet coverings enrich the room. They visually increase the size of a premise, in particular, if their figure is fine and homogeneous. Carpets of the small size are usually put on the sofa, table, and armchair.
You can put can two carpets at two various groups of furniture in the narrow room; as though, the room will be divided by it on two parts (the same effect can be achieved by means of carpet coverings of two and more colors (in case of monophonic walls), creating thus an atmosphere of ease) and if the furniture is put so, that it separates one part of the room from another one, the premise visually becomes not so long.
If you have a small carpet, which covers all or nearly all the area of a floor, use one of primary colors of a carpet, but lighter shade for painting of the walls.
