With so many choices of home decor to choose from, the most important factor is making yourself comfortable and happy. Of course it's important to you to have an attractive and inviting home for your friends and visitors, but you're the one who matters most. After all, you do live there!

Color is a very important factor when choosing your home decor. Rich hues such as burgundy, navy, green and rustic colors tend to make a home feel warm and cozy, while lighter shades create an open and airy atmosphere. Red, black and gold as commonly used in Asian home decor is very bold and perfect for those with strong personalities who want their home to make a statement.

Country home decor and well as western styles use alot of the rich and rustic colors. Roosters, cowboy wall hangings, wooden western mirrors and candleholders all tend to have these shades in them. These warm hues are also frequently used in western style rugs, country kitchen towels, curtains and canisters.

The lighter, cooler shades mentioned above are often used in classical decor as well as shabby chic. With classical decor, the lines are usually smooth and uncluttered, with furniture ranging from white and linen to beige and brown tones. Light colored lamps, carpets and curtains are often used in this decor. Sometimes wall hangings contain bolder hues to add an interesting splash of color.

Light and airy colors are also used in shabby chic decor. There are several styles of shabby chic, but most use light colored furniture and accents with a distressed or worn finish. Delicate floral patterns are used in curtains and wall hangings, along with elegant distressed finish chandeliers, candleholders, plant stands and mirrors. The shabby chic look is romantic and charming.

Of course, whatever you feel comfortable with is fine. If an eclectic mixture of these styles is what you like, go for it! I have seen homes where each corner of the room had its own theme - nautical in one corner, porcelain dolls in another, with an overall country theme. It was absolutely breath-taking! So when it comes down to it, use whatever style of home decor makes you happy. Your guests will love it too.

Asian Bedroom Furniture Sets

Asian furniture is generally low and that comes in dark colors. Black and earthy brown are the best tones to have in the Asian themed bedroom. You can also opt for bamboo furniture, that is perfect Asian inspired furniture. If you have green colored walls you can have this bamboo furniture to add pale yellow or earthy brown tinge to the room. You can have very dark brown colored wooden cabinets and wall shelves to match the red and black color scheme. You can also add off-white cabinets to balance the dark tones. Getting Asian inspired bedroom sets is a wonderful idea. These will have classic beds, cabinets, side tables, wardrobes and dressing tables, all perfectly matching the theme and with each other, as well.

Again a yellow and green combo will look superb. Another wonderful idea to design Asian inspired bedroom is to have red and black or red and beige color scheme. Believe me, this looks just awesome.
