Choosing home decor can be very difficult to do with so many different styles available. Deciding what type you want to use depends on several factors. You should choose according to your lifestyle, your preferences, whether you have children, pets etc.
The easiest way to choose your home decor is simply to decorate with the style you like the most and feel comfortable and relaxed in. Do you like formal or informal? This is an extremely important decision. You will never feel comfortable in a formal atmosphere if informal is what you truly love.
Imagine a big country kitchen that brings to mind days long ago, filled with rooster decor, flour sacks, ceramic rooster teapots and a bakers rack - you get the idea. It was a wonderful time, wasn't it? Country home decor can still bring back those wonderful memories! Add a wooden country apple wall clock, some old-fashioned canvas rooster wall pictures, throw in a few gingham lined baskets and you have a country kitchen to rival grandma's.
Or maybe your dreaming of a french cafe type kitchen - a wrought iron wine rack holding your favorite wines, a few candles and some delicate greenery. Beautiful, vintage wine decor is hanging on your walls, the rich, deep hues glowing inside the rustic frames, while overhead hangs a gorgeous wrought iron pot rack. Relaxing and cozy, perfect for a wonderful dinner after a hard days work.
