How are your rooms in your house decorated? I am trying to get some ideas as to what is the most popular these days.

Remember the olive green, orange and gold of the 60's?

One of my bathrooms is turquoise with dark brown accents and it looks really nice.  My other bathroom is black with white accents and it also looks really nice.  Right now those are the only two rooms that I have re-done at the moment.

Wonderful garden buildings and best water softener - I like those things! Care about team building and team development

You have mentioned about the orange - that's the color of my room and there are some decorations there that match it - small paintings in the same colors, carpet in brown blanket on the bed in brown too, furniture in light brown. Some small elements in green too like lamp and black decorating cartons. A little bit of mish-mash there but it looks comfortable and nice.

I am a sucker for IKEA products and I usually get ideas from their brochures. With respect to paints, I stick to the light ones.

Communication is key.

my bedroom is sort of a victorian country style, with light purples, yellow, green and a cream. i have antique furniture and a window seat (which my mom made)

but for the most part, the whole house is very traditional. with dark woods in the living room, brown leather couch, and green accents.  the dining area and kitchen are near the same, our dinning room table, computer desk and pantry are antiqued wood pieces (dark wood as the top surface and whitewashed legs) continuing the greens, and some blues.

our house fits our stlye and how we live. and everything depends on how you like it. watch some HGTV, its my favorite channel and you'll find lovely ideas.

happy decorating. =]

I live in the woods so my house tends to be dark inside.  I keep all the walls and appliances in light colors.  The floors are red oak hardwood and the brick fireplace enclosure which is ceiling high with a seating ledge is a warm /pink/orange/brown.

No carpet, but a modern rug with a seaside pink sand/grey water/turquoise sea sculpted into it.  My furniture picks up those colors in every room and can be moved easily from room to room depending on my desires. No sofas. Deep comfortable chairs and ottomans.

2 "chair and a half"  pieces which make into twin beds.Chairs that swivel and rock and can be turned to see the dining room or the living room.  The dining room and all wood furniture is country French in style. No draperies. 

 A Mackinac Island/Cotswold cottage look with pitchers of fresh flowers.  Lots of comfortable pillows are on the seating ledge by the fire.  Book cases filled with books bring in any dark colors that the rooms need to frame the pastels. 

 Antique maps are framed and on the walls along with some antique postcards/advertising ephermia.I like the old worn look of antique paper products. Lots of throws in the same colors. 

 With no draperies needed, the rich fall color of the leaves warms up the rooms, and in summer the cool greens blend in with the indoor pinks/blues/greens. 

Winter is my challenge because the stark white snow covered trees, while beautiful, can make my rooms look too cool.  I change to pretty deep red  and camel throws on the furniture and make sure the fire is glowing. Christmas decorations warm things up also. So far, so good.
