A kitchen where delicious food is created, is a kitchen where the cook feels good about life. What things make you feel good about life? Bring those elements into your kitchen decor.

If romance inspires you to create gorgeous meals, then hang photos of your loved one on the kitchen wall, and train garlands of edible flowers to creep from your windowsill planter box, in through the window, and around it. Place candles around the kitchen, and use romantic lighting when you cook. Your cooking then becomes an offering of devotion, seduction, and admiration.

If your cooking is your connection to your heritage or your ancestors, decorate your kitchen with your ethnic art. Frame one of your favorite ancestral photos, and hang it on the wall.
You can also place old hand written recipes in layers to cover the kitchen table, and then cover that with a sheet of clear glass. This makes a rustically lovely decor focal point, or a classically elegant one if you write the recipes in calligraphy. Your guests will ooh and?ahh over this creative design.

If you want to cook healthful meals, hang a picture of yourself doing a realistic activity that can only be done with a strong healthy body (relative to your own circumstances), and a focused mind. If you have a family, hang photos of them showing off their health and strength as well. For instance, a photo of your child proudly displaying a school assignment that earned a high grade, or flexing her/his biceps and smiling with white teeth, shows the rewards for eating healthful foods. Hang colorful charts depicting the ratio of proteins to carbohydrates that you need, and hang pretty pictures of beautiful organic fruits and vegetables. These will give you an appetite for what is good for you, instead of tempting you to eat junk food. Natural produce comes in all colors (even blue – for blueberries), so you can make a gorgeous rainbow on your wall.

You just can't go wrong with a gorgeous Persian style carpet. This one has the best color combo you could ask for, in a traditional design that has a timeless beauty. It's a design element around which to base a room's decor, and looks great with both unfinished and stained wood furniture. The sage green, wine, cream and peach accents give you several tasteful options for drapes and upholstery.? Lay this Area Rug over hard wood floors, planet earth tone colored ceramic tile, and cream colored wall to wall carpets for elegant visual harmony.

The rug is made of polypropylene fibers, so it can withstand the wear and tear of daily foot traffic and spills. However, the Home Dynamix Royalty Traditional Area Rug is so pretty, you may want to hang it on your wall with tall twin potted plants on either side of it, or a? chaise-longue underneath it.? It makes an excellent receding horizon at the end of a hall way or at the top of a stair landing, due to of its layered design depth. If your room has structural arches or arched windows, this rug is a must-have. Add a few West Asian copper accesories, like a Morrocan style round table (or this Glass-Top Console Table – Copper)

, and the Turkish Coffee Set for Two

,or a tall traditional Arab tea pot/server like the one in this poster, which would look great framed on an adjacent wall.:

Old Arabian Coffee Pot and Jars, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Middle East Photographic Poster Print by Amanda Hall, 24×32.

For romantic lighting attempt the 2 Arabian Palace Amber Candle Holder lanterns

For the final touch, add an Aladin style lamp ( check out the 5″ Brass Aladdin Incense Lamp, Embossed)

Burn exotic incense to complete the ambiance, and you'll feel like you're in a West Asian palace.

It all starts with the right rug.

Are you going bankrupt trying to buy a matching dining room set? There's no need! By mixing and adapting disparate designs, we can create a cohesive and attractive dining room decor scheme that you adore. It just requires a bit of thought and a few tools.

Four different chairs can feel like a set if painted the very same color, and stenciled with the very same designs. Use the very same stencil to ring the edge of the table with a border design, and viola! You have a matching set of chairs and table (even if you got each piece at a separate garage sale). This can also be done with rubber stamp art. Painting the furniture all the very same color and then using ink or paint in a contrasting color to stamp the very same design on each piece of furniture will unify the decor theme.

Using the very same fabric to cover or upholster the chairs, and then using that fabric as a border on the table cloth and runners for the china cabinet will create a consistent theme as well. The eye will be drawn to the commonality of the color and texture, rather than the difference in the shape of each chair.

Remember that your dining room is where you eat and converse with friends and family, so dining room decor should not impede easy access, cleaning, or comfort. It is more crucial to have each chair be user friendly, than to have them match perfectly.

The art of stamping has been improving the look of people's homes for hundreds and even thousands of years. Stamping allows you to create a consistent design over a big area. Whether you use the very same colors to create an identical repeating image, or whether you use a dissimilar color each time, your pattern will look cohesive if you use a stamp.

Stamps can be made from many materials, including natural latex, wood, and potatoes.
The easiest do-it-yourself stamp is made from a potato, cut open to expose a flat surface. After drawing the design on the flat surface of the potato, use a craft knife to cut away any area you do not want to display up in your image. The remaining material should form the shape of your flat image of choice. Dab that surface in ink or paint, and you have a stamp that is reusable and biodegradable.

Now you are ready to personalize your home decor. Stamps make good border designs on floors, along the perimeter of ceilings, the backs of chairs, the perimeter of tables, the tops of walls, and fabric for curtains, bedspreads, pillow covers, furniture slip covers, and anyplace you'd like to create beautiful designs. If you use the very same stamps on the furniture, curtains, bedspread, the tops of the walls, and the perimeter of the floor, you create harmonious room decor.

Do you need a location to focus on one experience at a time, to truly savor the flavor and texture and temperature of life, and help you to be fully present and in the “now”? Do you simply have great taste in decor, and hold Japanese traditional home design in high esteem ?

Harmony In Design has done it once more!? They've brought us just the right furniture piece to complete our room design, and they've done it the eco friendly way. Their new Tea Table is made from the very same sustainable Mango wood as the Raj meditation chair (shown in the previous post).? The petite size and shape of the traditional tea table allow it to be versatile enough for a variety of functions. When not using it for a tea ritual, it can be used as an end table, or coffee table. The traditional round Zafu cushions store neatly under the table when not in use. This is a great help in saving space and in keeping the cushions clean. The table is available in 2 non-toxic waterbase finishes (Natural and Espresso) and the cushions are available with 2 different washable covers (Cream and Mocha). For descriptions of the pillow materials, see the post under this one.
