Interior Design Ideas For Beginner Interior Design Ideas

Some people seem to have a natural eye for design and always seem to have great ideas interior design. I’m not one of those people. Only a week I was setting up a new office and are looking for a nice accent piece. At the store I came up with a combination of items that I liked, and then decided to ask one employee to a second opinion. My idea was shot down as combining different styles. So I seek another opinion, and got the same answer. I asked myself, “If I like it, is not that good enough?” Maybe for an eclectic and personal space, but for a business office, it is not good enough. The interior design should make a statement, and “I do not think so” is not what I would share.

So I started doing some research for interior design ideas, and I learned a lot. Here are four tips that I found useful, and if you are a beginner design, hopefully you will too.

1. It’s ok to copy ideas from anywhere you can find them. Your friend might not naturally be a great designer, but when he saw the HGTV enough, he might have become one over time. If he has a room that you like, feel free to copy, a replacement, your own taste. Watch shows the house a few decorations, and read magazines, you’ll soon have a lot of interior design ideas from which to choose. Take ideas from anywhere you can get them, and then tweak them to make their own.

2. Look at your living space and keep only what you really love. If you do not like something, or do not care if it’s there, get rid of it! Either throw it away, donate it to charity, or the box if you have family values. Just because it was originally owned by Great Aunt Delilah, does not mean you have to show them. You still can save it to hand to the next generation, or hand over to someone else in the family.

Designer Angela Free used four different shades of Benjamin Moore white paint in this living room: Spanish White on the inner wall molding; White Dove on the outer wall molding; White Opulence on the molding and crown trim; and Sand Dollar on the ceiling. Free describes this latter color as a "a very pale rosy white"; she painted it in high gloss to create "a soft reflective glow." Decorative artist Katherine Jacobus painted a subtle faux linen effect on all the molding to give it a sense of depth and dimension

Great Air Plane Interior Design

If you are rich enough to buy a personal jet, you might be want to design it with some great interior to make your jet a flying five star palace. There is some of the great air plane interior design that I collect for you as a design inspiration, hope you like it.

Pokemon Plane Interior

The popular Pokémon (Pocket Monsters) television series entered the fleet of All Nippon Airways* in late June. ANA had asked elementary school children to compete featuring Pokémon characters chosen from about 40,073 entries. Shota, the winner of the competition, signed his name on the aircraft’s door. In explaining how he chose his design, he said, “I wanted to give the Pokémon that usually live at sea a chance to experience the thrill of flying in the sky. I can’t believe that planes carrying my design are really going to fly.”

Boeing Dreamliner Interior Design

The Dreamliner’s interiors, designed by Seattle’s Teague, a firm with a 60-year relationship with Boeing. The Teague team strove for a design language that would convey a sense of comfort and offer subtle yet memorable cues meant to signal the Boeing brand. The idea is to help passengers recognize a Dreamliner as a Boeing jet, no matter which airline owns the plane (the planes also feature modular elements that can be customized).

Seen here is the plane’s entry, which features a soaring vaulted ceiling and a curvaceous, skylight-like overhead detail that gives a sense of space. “The idea is to welcome passengers to the airplane,” says Teague Vice-President Ken Dowd. Teague, in partnership with Boeing, focused on customer needs when developing its design strategy, using a combination of international airline surveys, personal anecdotes, and ethnographic-style research. Teague was involved from the start of the design process, which began in 2001.

Teague and Boeing wanted to extend a sense of comfort to the pilot and co-pilot of the plane, too. So the Teague team designed the flight deck, seen here, to be harmonious with the sleek interior design of the rest of the plane and not just to have the generic, technical feel of most cockpits.

The Teague team wanted to keep signature architectural details of the Dreamliner consistent throughout the plane. Seen here is a view of the cabin; visible is the continuation of the arch motif from the entryway. There is a bar-like area at the front of the coach-class section (toward the back of the plane) where passengers can stand and rest. It’s there to encourage them to move about and be both active and comfortable during the flight.

Alex Nakobo Airplane Design

If you are rich enough to buy a personal jet, you might also want to customize it with some rich luxury to make your jet a flying five star palace. To do just this for you, Belarus based designer Alex Nakobo has a host of custom designs which are already doing duty in Russian corporate jets. To bling your jet up, how about custom leather chairs and wide aisles for a very comfortable and an ultra luxurious flying experience? If this is not enough, you can warm your backsides on plush leather seats and even have an impromptu dinner over the ornate dining table, 30000 feet in the sky. For entertainment, you have options of large HDTVs with custom lighting for the cabins. All this luxury is nicely done up in a cabin that has plenty of wood to make it almost like your very own living room in the sky. These are just examples of what can be done to make your jet a palace in the sky. Like all custom jobs, you can specify your very own jet with whatever it takes to satisfy all your whims and fancies.

Versace Jetplane Interior

Mock-up plane interior after Versace announced they were expanding into private jet design.

Virgin America Plane Interior

Someone try to take this picture from the back of the plane but sadly the cool glowing blue and purple lights were off. fortunately The super nice staff helped out and turned the light up for him and you can see how great the plane interior.

Design Tip of the Week (12.19.10): Centerpiece Ideas for your Holiday Table

A few more days till Christmas! If your still looking for ideas on how to create a show stopping table, Pottery Barn had some great inspiration this season. As seen above, a natural yet festive looking centerpiece using potted branches with a nice selection of antique looking ornaments.

Another one of my favorites this season are the Paper Music Star Vase Filler. In their December catologue, they combined these with German Glitter Birds and some fake snow and it was beautiful!




Another idea I love, and I have a few in my house year round are bird cages. Pottery Barn filled nests with gold Christmas balls and gave them some height with books stacked underneath.

Here is my use of a bird cage in our holiday decor. A gold bird cage filled with red Christmas Balls.


Good luck with your final decorating touches!

Water Fountains - History Of Water Fountains

For every human being- water portrays a vital role for its existence and survival. Man can not exist exclusive of water in view of the fact that earth itself is made up of more water than land. Thats why; man has for eternity given grand reverence to water and even treated it as God. Even when we look back at the early times, majority of civilizations have been shaped in places where there was great quantity of water accessible for farming and cultivation, irrigation, drinking and bathing. Loads of battles have been fought and clashes arise even today over dissection of rivers and other water resources amid states and countries.
Hence, water is of great significance and no wonder why man uses it in its everyday activity no matter how grand or simple it is. Further than the indispensable uses of water in aspects like agriculture, water was used for adornment in the form of fountains. Historians draw attention that water fountains instigated in the ancient Middle East region, in particular in Egypt where gardens were found to be ornamented with water fountains. Roman and Persian cultures also included water fountains as part of their culture. The Mughals, who ruled in India had built many architectural wonders such as the Taj Mahal, and their gardens which were always bejeweled with flourishing and abundant trees and fountains. Mughal women are inclined to stay indoors most of the day and that's why these gardens and fountains were a basis of relaxation and leisure for them.
Fountains have always been an essential element of existence in the Far East countries akin to China, Japan etc where water is regarded as a form of energy in Feng shui.
In numerous countries, fountains have been the heart of social life. This would mean that people would draw together around them, while gathering water for drinking, cooking and bathing and many a romance, friendship and political schemes and plots are said to have risen from there.
In the beginning, Mother Nature has created many fountains with the natural flow of water due to gravity, commencing from the higher surfaces to lower surfaces. The geysers, which are found in national parks and waterfalls, are illustrations of nature created fountains. Soon after, with the discovery and development of hydraulic apparatus and gears, artificial water fountains were built. In the early days, the fountains were simple in design, with its main purpose of supplying water for everyday living. Afterward, they were also ornamented and adorned with statues, sculptures and figurines.
Up to date fountains have become more highly developed and sophisticated for they now offer musical fountains, fountains with colored lights and animated fountains and are used more like a showpiece. The Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas are a work of art in artificial fountains and never fail to captivate and charm the people.
In the present day, we notice that a lot of water fountains are being used basically all over the places from shopping complexes to hospitals, to business establishments and parks.Not only do they improve and boost the furnishings of the building, but they also bring relaxation and untainted delight to people.
