My grandmother is buying a smaller home,closer to mine and she needs me to help decorate. She says that she doesn’t have a personal style. What questions should I ask her to get a better view of how to decorate her home?

I have black furniture in my family room and were gonna replace the floors in there. If we get carpet I just want to get a white colored carpet, but were thinking about hardwood floors. Would black furniture look fine on top of oak hardwood floors?

I want to paint my daughters bedroom not sure about the colors, I want something beautiful.
I tried all the paint co. like Benjaming Moore etc but they don’t really help.
I need a website with great pictures, thanks for the help.

In my room, I have a blank yellow wall. The theme of my room is vintage/french (main colours are yellow and black). I have a vintage map of paris that I want to frame and put on the wall, but I need more to go along with it. I can’t have a wall with just one picture on it! Any suggestions? I know it’s hard because you don’t know what my room looks like, really.

Why is it the rest of the year is so easy to decorate your home seasonally – but every year after Christmas/New Year I’m left scratching my head wondering “how do I decoarte, now?” It’s too early for Spring, I don’t want to leave my Christmas stuff up….any ideas?

Such as the ones where they design your room for less than $1000, or they spruce up your house which is for sale, etc.

I will be renting my first home/Duplex on November the first. But there is just one problem, i have no idea on how to decorate it! Is there any sites that i can go to, or any ideas that y’all may know about that can help me out?

I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for older items. I have alot of brass vases, I love collecting candle holders, I adore the pictures by Waterhouse, brass beds, drapes not curtains that gently sweep the floor. Frames of our family, in contradiction, in black frames with the white inserts which give the impression of the picture either deeper or standing out of the frame, completely comfy lounges that arn’t big and bulky. Furnishings which need to be child friendly/proof…lol…
Childrens rooms. Girls, one who likes pink and princesses the other who leans slightly more in the direction of the gothic side. Boys, one who loves AFL, cricket and now golf. The other Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and small toys requiring imagination.
Finally, we live in a Housing Trust/Public Housing home but have pretty much free reign, we also have a limited budget.
Where would I begin? Any and all ideas: websites, stores, mags etc. Let me know please. I haven’t a clue! lol
Thankyou everyone. =)

What do you love or use in your home decorations? If you loved antique & vintage collections, it would probably be “Country” style. If you loved ornate furniture and traditional accessories, it would be “Classic”. If you loved simple lines & modern designs (of furniture), it would be “Contemporary”. If you loved bold colors and eccentric arrangements, it would be “Whimsical”. If you loved something found particulary in certain time and country/countries, it could “Victorian”, “French”, “Cottage”, etc….. Sometiems it can be a combinations of those above. I hope my opinions help…. let me know ^_^

We have been remodeling our home and now it is time to decorate it. Everything I like is out of our budget. Anyone have any tips, websites, stores, etc. to get a big look for little money.
Thanks
