I was at a Christmas Tree Festival recently where I seen a beautiful tree decorated in silver and white. I was immediately drawn to the tree feeling an incredible warmth for the overall look. I stood, looking over the tree when I realized what was really striking about the look was the sheepskin rug that was used as a skirt.
The snowdrift effect of the luxurious rug was absolutely stunning.
Sheepskins are beautiful natural area rugs that add that warmth and texture to any modern or rustic home.
These incredible, versatile rugs can be included in day-to-day life in many ways.
Beside a bed, as a liner in a baby crib, in front of the fire place, draped on a chair, used as a bed covering, a throw, or a seat cover are a few ideas of how to benefit from these exquisite sheepskin area rugs.
Now is the time to nestle in and be at one with your home.
With our wide selection of accent and décor ideas we’ll help you get the most of your home.

Start with a floor plan for the room that you intend to furnish. A scale model is the best. Many people make the mistake of purchasing furniture that is either too small or too large for the space. If you are not sure of the size then you are better off purchasing the larger one. Larger scale will always look better then the smaller one.

Decide on a focal point. Arrange the furniture with that focal point in mind.

Select neutral colors for your sofa, love seat and accent chairs. Cream, tan, mocha or chocolate brown are good choices. You are going to live with these pieces for a long period of time so you have to make sure that the investment is worth while.

To play with colors, patterns and trends the better pieces to experiment with are with decorative pillows, unique mohair or cotton throws, draperies, coffee tables, end tables or benches.

Pay attention to eye-catching accents such as handcrafted wood vases, hand blown art glass, mirrors or wall art and to the details in your furnishings. All the pieces should compliment each other.

Another good idea is to take home the item that you are considering and see how it fits into your decor. Many stores will be happy to lend an item for a few days.

Don’t fill up every corner of your room. Avoid clutter and remember less is more.

Curtains and drapes can greatly enhance your home decorating. They can add the finishing touches to any room making it comfortable, cozy and very attractive. They are also decorative accessories that can add personality to any room.

A room without draperies feels cold and uninviting. Nowadays you have many options. You can find beautiful drapes in just about every size and in solid colors or print fabrics.

Simple fabrics like cotton, linen, silk, velvet, canvas or a linen blend mounted on unique rods will give a sophisticated look to your home decor.

We also have to make sure that they are thick enough to provide the necessary privacy in the nighttime.

One other benefit is that they are perfect for controlling light or in the summer time to keep the room cool.

If your plan includes buying new furniture for a room that needs to be decorated then our advice as far as drapes go is to wait until you have the sofa, love seat and chairs, then go out and search for the right draperies that will work with the upholstery.

Pure white color fascinates us with its feng shui energy of innocence and tranquility.
The pure white color is excellent for feng shui use anywhere in your home, especially to contrast brighter colors. The white shade is highly recommended for the west and northwest corners of your house especially when metal is the dominant element in your decor.
One of my favorite white items on our webiste is this beautiful contemporary tealight candle holder that can be used as a unique centerpiece for the holiday season. If you have decided that your theme for this Christmas is a crisp, clear, fresh look, you can have this centerpiece in the middle of your dinning table and surround it with small silver or clear rocks. Keep it very simple and it will be a stricking focal point.

We are introducing at homedecorbylulu.com, a new and unique home decor accessory to our black and white collection.
Simplicity and repetition are the keys to a sophisticated look.
For those of you who have a fireplace, your mantels will become the centre of your decor. For a contemporary or modern look, use repetition and symmetry. Odd numbers of objects work best. We love these pear miniature bud vases for their innnovative look and we feel that they are perfect for any season. You can change the look with the season. In the spring or summer, fill them up with flowers such as orchids or daisies to give a fresh spring look to your home decor. For a glamorous holiday look in the winter add small glittered berry branches or glittered leaves. Use your imagination and you can make your mantle look modern and sophisticated.

The creation of every piece of art glass involves extraordinary talent from the glass artist. This hand blown art glass platter in the black and white color is elegant on its own. It is designed, hand blown and signed by a well-known artisan of Europe. It could make a stunning centerpiece on your coffee table as an integral piece of a beautiful black and white theme.

A hand blown glass candle holder is a unique touch to any home. This black tealight candleholder, featuring a twisted stem is stunning and its sleek cosmopolitan lines will give a modern look to your home decor.

White is considered the most popular neutral color to accent. If you have a soft spot for the white and black theme, we have a few suggestions for you. These days using white as a primary decorating color is not what it used to be when every white room looked like the inside of a hospital. With outstanding beautifully colored accent options in furnishings and accessories such as bed sheets, decorative pillows, luxurious throws, fresh flowers, art glass and unique wall hangings, interior designers can put together fabulous rooms. Any colorful accessories displayed well in a white room will seem to have a special place. The combination of black and white creates a sophisticated fresh look. You only need a subtle amount of black in a white room to create drama. A few decorative pillows, a beautiful throw, an art glass vase, an art glass platter or a candleholder is all you need.

In time, you may get bored with the white and black theme. That’s why when it comes to purchasing your accessories, buy pieces that are all white or all black, rather then the ones covered in a black and white pattern. It will be easy to just remove the black items leaving the white ones to blend well with any new scheme you choose. You can change your theme slightly with the season by adding a third accent color. In the spring, an aqua or a canary yellow will bring tranquility into your room and red or coral can be suitable for the cold days of winter.
