Lately, a trend has proliferated and is the taste for colonial furniture and ornaments or ethnic background as well bring a touch of class reminiscent of other places that remain associated with distant and exotic locations.

This emerging trend in the territories colonized by European powers was intended that the various forms of art to match the needs of new immigrants to the art and existing materials in the country, resulting in a mixture of indigenous art and tastes the new inhabitants.

Of course, maybe the countries that have left traces in such objects, furniture or fabrics are India and Mexico, or whatever they have better adapted to European taste without neglecting other equally important as Indonesia, Thailand or Nepal and several African countries.

These furnishings have been incorporated into our homes and although its original sense is we can not fail to note that given its robustness and in some cases their volume, not all households can afford and is not advisable if you abuse them Space is limited. Would be different if you had a fancy to decorate the whole house, that if, broadly, in this style, but do not forget that then you have to combine not only furniture but also textiles and even the colors that prevail in the country they come from , to ensure consistency throughout the atmosphere and clearly mark your taste.

How to reinvent a room with zero budget. The experts in decoration and interior design of British newspaper The Guardian we offer these tips to change a room look without spending any money. In times of crisis, may be the solution to give a new look to your home.

If the walls are smooth, adding drawings change graphics. In this case, the mirror simply reflects a white wall which is a waste. In addition, a coffee table in the middle of the room limits the passage of people and distribution of the rest of the furniture.

With a zero budget, could you give a new look to the lounge, site by simply changing what we already have? According to interior designer Melinda Ashton Turner, the first thing to do is get rid of the coffee table. Apparently, putting a large coffee table in the middle of the room is a common error when converting a unwieldy piece of wood into a focal point, the table ends up being a pile of garbage and limits the passage of people and placement opportunities from the rest of the furniture. Instead, a large carpet will make the room feel much warmer. Just be sure to place it properly (with the edge of the carpet tucked under the front of the sofa, to create an “attractive island” around which to gather the remaining pieces).

After removing the coffee table is only a matter of moving the furniture. For example, placing the two leather couches close to each other (waiting for a large rug imaginary) and facing each other to make the room appear more welcoming.

The next thing is to move the display, from its initial position in a hole in the side farthest from the room where it has always seemed a bit lost, to the wall that is next to the couch. This seems a deliberate purchase, rather than an addition to chance. In the gap will now vacuum the floor lamp, so that the light bounce off the walls. This may seem to waste a gap, but the empty space is good.

What follows are a couple of discussions on the home: one on shelves shelves built versus (the latter provide much more space), and another on the length of the curtains (to the floor, please). Remove a few books from the shelves and fill the space with some decorative pieces previously saved in the window lightens the room and breaks in the midst of so much paper. With a final touch, bringing a dresser creates a small window of the kitchen (which combines with the room). Above, the mirror now reflects the park in front, instead of a white wall. A changing table, says Ashton Turner. Simple and free.
