1. First, think about how our day would be ideal. Aside from family commitments and work, how we would spend the day? Perhaps we would ne a quiet place to sit and read for an hour, but we will not have to lock ourselves in the room, away from our family, or maybe we love to cook, even though we have a kitchenette. Write what you think and the response of other household members, as this will lay the foundation of our scheme.

2. Make a list of things we saw and we were delighted, and we’d like to copy. Not only draw on TV shows, exhibitions and magazines. Visit art galleries and museums, as these may be the best example of how to combine shapes, textures, scale, lighting and space, not to mention the acoustics.

But the problem appears when purchasing each of these elements, achieving harmony and unity and good taste combination.

For this we must bear in mind that the trend suggests seeking harmony within a color palette, without major contrasts.

Blankets,  carpets, cushions and curtains should be a whole into the room, and the trendy colors for optimum results are in the range of yellows, browns, oranges and earthy colors.

A good idea to complete the decoration is to place candles in some corners, they will create a more intimate and welcoming, especially if they are flavored.

The bold colors were present throughout the spring / summer catwalks 2009, although only fashionistas took note. Then Michelle Obama appeared sports, with simple light colors and, suddenly, that was the aspect that had to be. And where are addressed catwalks, designers immediately go inside.

So it’s time to say goodbye to the floral prints and hi overloaded with confidence to the colored blocks, sometimes conflicting. The fun of this trend is that no matter what color you choose as there are many and we can swap them when we get bored.

In fashion, what else is different colors are bright and acidic, but we do not like living in a place like that, so it’s best to choose a few of our favorite colors and stick to your palette to view our home and lifestyle. We can choose a safe option, as a cream sofa cushions with a riot of brown and beige color, or mix it with black, gray and metallic colors to give it a more fresh and groundbreaking.
