Decorating your interior could be an affair that can really change your life. Key elements are to mix and match functional furniture. Ikea gives you a chance to mix country with modern, pure wood with paper foil that if you put together could be an architectural discovery how your old rooms change being inviting. Ikea has amazing furniture with one condition if you can assemble it, but many pieces are made in Italy, Denmark, etc., so that assembly would be easy. Pieces from pure wood often are manufactured in Poland and assembly will require a little more effort. But if you mix this country style wood furniture with contempo the result is amazing. Not too much of everything, wood is complemented by modern look of painted plastic (I am not trying to be exact to specify what the modern pieces of Ikea are made of) and glass with various accents. Having simple furniture means you can compliment it with special accents and made amazing mix of art. In a simple glass cabinet you display a collection of pieces such as high profile Judith Lieber items, Jay Strongwater and make sure to have sufficient light to make those pieces sparkle. Then you discover that a place start turning into a museum by laconic design of unambiguous furniture but still refine decorative pieces. Carpets are a major part of the interior. I found out that mixing modern pattern with traditional Oriental is absolute best. So the most complicated task of redecorating your house could become pure fun and you will never stop at what you achieved. TO me now redecorating is no longer an ordeal but a sort of therapy that feels like good times good fun almost Christmas like!
