Casual Home Decorating Ideas for Color
You've heard it a million times and it's true. One of the easiest and least expensive ways to give a room a new look and feel is with paint
COLOR THEME
Not only is wall color chosen according to personal taste, it is imperative that wall color matches the overall theme of the room. Wood, fabrics and floor covering must compliment wall color. Wall color is the canvas and the canvas color must compliment the colors that are added to that canvas. Choose a fine art print, a throw or an accent pillow as your inspiration guide and use the colors appearing in your guide when choosing wall color, upholstered furniture, floor covering and decorative accessories. It is important to choose wall color that is complimentary to the rest of the room and house.

COLOR DRAWN FROM NATURE
Casual decors include rich textures and woven fabrics. Fabrics like chenille, sisal, raffia, cotton, linen and burlap appeal to natural and casual decorating styles.
Organic materials and neutral wall colors drawn from nature bring depth and luxury to the casual color palette.
You don't have to paint the walls blue if you want a blue room. Red walls are not a requisite for a red room. A soft warm gold, tranquil olive green or a soothing peach wall color works well in both the blue room and red room scenario.
Golden mustards, rich browns, and deep, tawny reds are warm earthy colors found throughout nature.
Golden beige tones, warm browns and the soft oranges of the setting sun pair well with smoky blue or turquoise. Ivory tone walls with accessories in brick/tomato red and gold is a striking color theme.

Our casual Mediterranean kitchen is in need of some serious help. The ceiling is 10' high and even though the cabinets are 8' in height the space above the tiled arch seems to be lacking.
With the help of an iron topper placed above the tiled arch, the long expansive space is broken by scrolls of wrought iron. The arch no longer floats in mid air. The topper is the crowning touch to tie the arch and the two large furniture pieces into one attractive unit.
The height and the size of the back splash overwhelms the space. The arched iron grille breaks up the large space and the scrolled iron compliments both the arched topper above and the iron grille work in the cabinet doors.

Casual Home Decorating with Mirrors
Mirrors are one of the designer's most useful tools. Mirrors increase light in a room with few windows and multiply the light from existing windows.
In the dining room, mirrors reflect candlelight and exaggerate chandelier luminescence. When placed atop a serving buffet, a mirror adds sparkle to all objects placed on top of it. A long mirror incorporated into a dining table centerpiece showcases crystal table appointments. Mirrors make a dining experience unique and special.
Reflective qualities are most often the homeowner's major concern when it comes to mirrors, but designers use mirrors by placing them in strategic locations throughout a room's design. Designers think beyond hanging a mirror in the bath or in the entry foyer. Mirrors can be used in surprising places in rooms throughout the home.
Consider placing a tall floor mirror at the end of a long hallway and in the confines of smaller rooms. A large mirror makes a room or hallway look and feel larger.
To highlight sculpture or a treasured urn, strategically place mirrors to reflect the image so that guests see the object when it is not in direct view. A mirror placed behind a floral arrangement or behind collectibles on a display shelf will showcase the objects and give them greater importance in the room's design.
