Beautiful Home Decor
Post home decor that you like!
Here is a start. Below are all from the same CT house, and I love the whole thing. I love when I can find whole house decorations where I love them all, where there is variety and continuity. It's not all colors I would choose, but it is an excellent use of these colors. So here is a selection (from this page):
"A man with a definite belief always appears bizarre, because he does not change with the world; he has climbed into a fixed star, and the earth whizzes below him like a zoetrope."

"Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the Church, is often labeled today as fundamentalism... Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along
by every wind of teaching, looks like the only
attitude acceptable to today's standards." - Pope Benedict the XVI, "The Dictatorship of Relativism"

Bathrooms:
Repeat is a wonderful design element. In this case, ovals:
I want to find a fabulous wallpaper for our little powderroom. Makes a small space grand.
Plenty of bathtub reading available here:
Lots os soft whie emphasizes great detail: Soft edges, that special border leaf tile, nice floor and counter. Botanicals.
The wallpaper here is a great touch.

Curtains that work
Curtains that work:
This floral looks great in this room. I favor this valance.
This room. These colors. The detail of the top ruffle reflects the look of the chintz. The slightly deeper yellow of the curtains than the wall. The yellow with the powder teal. The bit of gingham. The restrained use of chintz.
This fabric with this fringe - a simple detail, and so beautiful. perfect.
small print with colors that blend. They re keeping the print to a classic minimum this room.
I love matching the wall to the curtains. You "project" in your mind that the wall is soft like the fabric:
Chintz with stripes is a classic combo:
The light filtering through the chintz on the lighter green room is perfectly framed in the doorway of the deep green room:
This takes some skill but what a centerpiece:
This can be done on a tight budget:

Entries and Stairs
Entries:
This is a celebration of beautiful texture. The floors, the painting, the chest, the matt walls, the linen shades and the sheen of the black lamps, the velvet red upholstery. Beautiful texture everywhere, plus a great use of color (complimentary always works, especially when one of the colors is muted and the other more saturated).
Stairs:
These balustrades!
I like the artwork choice and placement in the stairwell:
It's the stair-riser detail I love here:
Window Seats:
Different!
This has matching curtains and wall, so nice. I love an unexpected mix of patterns that is also not too busy.

Nice! Uncluttered but not over-organized, and yes, spacious, natural, light. It would be nice to find a designer who embodies this style and see his work. I'm not up on designers though. I recently found the glampad.com when looking for curtain ideas and it seems to be a whole site dedicated to the kind of decorating I like. (It's where those pics came from).Originally Posted by lkdhf qkb
I prefer clean, minimal and modern furnishing with the colour and variation coming from books and various sentimental trinkets.

Nice, @SlytherinPower. Very modern, sleek, clean, high contrast, graphic.
Botanicals
Botanicals will always have a place in my decorating.
Some lovely examples:
I never get tired of botanicals

These : )...
this pretty much
Dining Rooms
Many of the rooms, like these dining rooms are way to much for my small space, but I appreciate them anyway.
I love these round scalloped placemats. Controlled scallops are appealing.
I love murals. I plan to paint on in our stairwell. Misty layers of landscape.
I love this. The crystal chandelier, and powder blue seat covers with scallops - but not too feminine! And a mural, the kind I love, with a lot of sky and trees, so this room has it all.

@asd, would this do for a view?
It is Jackson Lake Lodge, Grand Teton National Park. (I haven't been there; your post made me think of it so I looked it up).
Beautiful Tetons: a treat for you!

This shade of purple is one of my favorite colors

Color!
I love a brilliant use of color, and the following pics are wonderful examples of not only wonderful color use, but patterns and shapes. I love it so much I spent a bunch of satisfying time arranging this group of pictures, and explaining them. (For those rare few of you that like that kind of thing, like me).
Colors well done:
My Very Favorites:
In this first group of three, I love everything about the rooms, and they are what I am striving for at least on my 2nd floor. The just-right colors - and I am very picky about color - and the just-right balance and amount of details. There are something of scallops featured in several of these rooms, which truly draws my eye most happily. I know I must incorporate something of that judiciously in my next room enhancements. I love scallop edgess.:
More of this wall color I favor, which works so well with the rich wood cabinet and that painting. I like the fluff on the chair, but I would upholster the chair in a deep tone velvet, and throw a sheepskin on it for a better more genuine fluff-look:
Blues, teals and mints:
This room is so awesome. I love tone-on tone stripe. It can work really well. The balance of arrangement here is esquisitely satisfying.
Love the chair pads Scallop-like. Works with floor and blue and with the white china!
Ode to green:
I like the scallop-y look valance:
This was probably decorated around that plate collection. The green looks just right with the wood color on those interesting beds:
Ode to an uncommon green, likely all about inspiration of that green marble fireplace surround:
Reds:
Wonderful use of red accent. There is an undertone of rust in the red, making it work well with it's complement, blue, with a teal undertone - the green in that acting as a compliment to the red. The blue is powder soft, and often I find that a very appealing combination with complementary colors, where of one of the compliment is bold color, and the other soft or muted shade of the color. It sure works in here. Add to that, a repetition of design elements in the detail. Love it all.
This use of red is good; red works well with a very deep, gold-ish ivory color in the trim. Not my colors, but a good use of them. In this room I see a story. I think what happened is they needed to vacuum, and there were piles of books on the floor (because these folks like to read) and they put the books and the big floor plant on the table for a better vacuum. And they looked at the room with this big plant emphasizing the ceiling height, and their beloved books displayed on the table, and said, "I really like the room like this. " And snapped a picture.
Peach and pattern:
Peach is a perfect foil for this wonderful mix of subtle patterns, with a punch of muted bright in those dusty red pillows. Morrocan is not my style, but I love how it is done here.
Subtle but not bland misty neutrals A secret to the success of this room I believe is that there is more subtle color to the ceiling than in the neutral walls. And I LOVE the table treatment. The gingham edge. The top layer of scalloped white lace! Just perfect. And that ceiling color shows off a showcase piece in the room - that very unique attractive ceiling lamp:
Great use of cream:

Imagine standing naked in a room like that with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a girthy blunt in the other.
@SGF, somehow I'm reminded of this movie.
Possibly it's just the colour palette and eclectic spare parts that give the impression. Your vision is altogether orderly, not hectic
Converted barn - beginnings
Now more luxurious
does anyone else like steep staircases and tall ceilings? Ascending the tower...at this rate I need to find myself a an ex-lighthouse.
Lovely. We have steep staircases but that is because our 1910 small basic colonial was designed with New England thrift - steep staircases take up less space.Converted barn - beginnings

That didn't even occur to me, the thriftiness of a steep stair. The Victorian villas I admire when out walking are mostly single storey -two storey I see only where the section is very small.
Several of these homes have verandahs trimmed with timber brackets that look like lace... they are beautiful! Nevermind about their function. But I may be veering off topic now (outdoors)
Great deal
I have been shopping on FB Mkpl. a lot to finish getting my house just the very things it needs, in the right proportion, style, color, size, etc., at rock bottom prices, which I can do with careful shopping and a bit of driving because we are not so far from many fine towns, in the countryside nearby just outside the big big city where city folk keep their other (fine) houses, and often, becasue they move and redecorate, really big deals can be found.
These drapes with their write-up below are so gorgeous, though I don't have the place for them as I am not using that yellow anywhere, though it's lovely. (Actually I painted our bedroom walls a similar yellow, more powdery, but everything is done in there, with deep velvet eggplant bedspread & shams, and matching deep velvet eggplant with white ball fringe roman shades I made, and pale yellow to darker yellow ombre curtains).
From the ad: "Paid $15,000 for these beautiful floral drapes. (That’s right - $15-THOUSAND!) We are redecorating and sadly they need to go. See the pictures of the doors they one covered. Giving them away for $30.00. There were two drapes covering each door. They opened in the center.. One door was 110 inches wide and the other was 146" wide. Both were hung just over a standard 81" high Door.
Have them sized to your length.
The fabric still looks good."

The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.
The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

AI but looks good:
There are some really stunning home decor ideas being shared here. And I need the inspiration because I decided to give my bedroom a makeover.
I repainted it a dark blue with the service of Oahu Interior Painting, a local company. Because I couldn't have done it myself, it's too hard for me. The fresh coat of paint completely transformed the look and feel of the room.
Now that the walls look fresh and clean, I'm excited to change up the decor to match the new vibe. I'm considering incorporating more natural elements, like wood accents and plants, to create a cozy and inviting feel. Maybe an area rug or a stylish accent chair. I also love the idea of adding some artwork and decorative mirrors to the walls to give the space more personality and depth.
