ethnic home decor

In recent years, ethnic home decor has become increasingly popular when deciding on a theme for decorating. Among the first of the choices in cultural decor, is Indian home decor.

Indian home decor has become one of the most highly sought after themes, due to the versatility of design, rich color schemes, and the broad spectrum of elements in decor. There are different styles of Indian decor branching from the different regions of India, such as, Western Indian, Eastern Indian and even British Indian decor. British Indian decor usually consists of finely carved ivory, hand-crafted wood furniture, and fine art, balanced tastefully with heavy Victorian style drapery, and Victorian furniture, for a classical, yet ethnic appearance.

Many exporters of ethnic home decor can be located online, and there are many dealers from India. They can provide custom-design wooden furniture from an exotic variety of woods, such as, Shisham, Teak, Mango, and Acacia. Choosing the wood, and design will allow you to personalize your home, as well as give that "special touch" to your Indian home decor. Some accent pieces to consider adding are hand-carved chests, nesting-tables, and folding screens. Certain regions of India carve detailed floral designs into their pieces, and other regions carve elaborate pictures of people, and landscapes, as if to tell a story. These accents will give a wonderful depth to your cultural decor.

Fabrics are a creative option to add color, and texture to your Indian home decor, to really bring your space to life. India has an endless wealth of lush materials to decide from, such as satin, cashmere, and silk. India's silk is very unique, being of a slightly rougher texture than silks in Asia, which adds a beautiful contrast when next to a sleek satin. Many colorful wall tapestries, pillows, and table-runners can be found with this elegant combination. Sari style window-drapes, bedding, and floor-pillows are also a sheik way to add colorful accents. Due to the materials available in a multitude of hues, such as, burnt sienna, fuchsia, apricot, turquoise, and autumn reds, achieving the color schemes desired in your cultural decor is possible.

Adding subtle additions, such as small bronze sculptures, vases, and wood-carved mirror frames will generate a warm, contemporary environment. Paintings can be imported from India, from locations like Patachitra, and Warli. The high quality silk paintings from these regions of India, are unique masterpieces, which would be a wonderful conversation piece.

house for sale

I was hanging out with a few people at a wedding recently and the conversation turned to today's real estate market.ne of my friends, John, from a town near San Jose, CA told a fascinating, yet familiar, story. I thought I would share it with all of you.John and his wife, Liz, decided to sell their home. They bought the house in 2004, saw it increase in value, and this summer decided to sell it. They interviewed four different agents to sell their home and finally decided on the one who agreed to sell their home for what they wanted to sell it for. They believed the home was worth $625,000.  The first three agents who came in to interview for the listing told them the house would never sell at that price and that they should consider listing it below $600,000. They all felt $589,000-$599,000 was the "magic" number. John is a commercial real estate broker. He knew that his asking price was high but he was in no hurry to sell. He also didn't like the fact these three...

selling our home very fast

When it comes to seeing two houses of around the same size and style on the same street just two doors apart, it really comes right down to the tastes of the individuals who view, and in this sellers can maximize their own chances of securing a fast house sale for the right price by selling their property privately. After all, who knows the strengths of your home better than you? But it doesn't stop there... Knowing what type of buyer your home will be most attractive to and setting out to make it even more attractive can massively improve your chances of getting a quick sale and a good price. Put simply: find your niche and conquer it. For instance, let's say these two homes were near a canal and that this canal was excellent for both fishing and boating. The better of the two niches there could well be fishing, owing to the number of people who live on canal boats etc. So, we would market our home as the perfect home for anglers and/or angling family. Then we would make...
