			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a plentiful budget on hand, decorating your house will be very enjoyable and stress free. You can go for expensive carpets, rugs with fine designs, curtain tie-backs, stylish wall decors, wall mirrors with intricate designs, etc. Your imagination is limitless. But all these will only look the way they should if accentuated with appropriate color combination. Your house will turn out to be a picturesque with all these combined with fine choice of wall colors.</p>
<p>Observing your surroundings will be of great help before deciding on what color walls to have. The use of color wheel will also of great help. Usually, using many colors in the room will never look good. A maximum of two or three colors will do.</p>
<p>What is there to consider in choosing the best color for your kids’ bedroom? The <a href="http://allaboutkidssite.com/bunk-beds-for-kids/" target="_blank">bunk beds for kids </a>and<a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Choose-a-Fabulous-Princess-Bed-for-Your-Little-Princess" target="_blank"> princess beds</a> should be your basis in determining the color combination and decoration of room. The wall color should match with the color of beds. That spells success in designing your kids’ bedroom.</p>
<p>Usually, the first room in sight once you enter a house is the living room. It is only proper that it sets a good impression. If you wish your living room to have a peaceful and charming atmosphere, any shade of blue, white or pastel color will do the job. If your intention is to make your living room appear astounding, then go for blue walls with green furniture.</p>
<p>Deciding on the color of your bedroom is another thing. This is where you relax and the mood should be soothing. Pastel color coordinated with earth tone is the answer. This will surely help you relax and feel good to be home and sleep. To achieve a cozier feel to your room, different shades of brown is a must, while monochromatic earth tones give walls the natural feel.</p>
<p>Complementing the furniture with the wall colors spell beauty and harmony in the house. The size and shape of the room are two things one must consider seriously in choosing wall colors. Small rooms will look broader by using light colors, while dark colors will make big rooms look smaller.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for a new way to refresh your walls or get yourself into the green-friendly living movement, look no further than walls surrounding you.  This is a great place to begin.  While paint may be your first inclination, think about going with plaster.  In fact, <a href="http://homebedroomdecor.com/clay-plaster-wall-treatments/" target="_blank"><strong>clay plaster wall treatments</strong></a> are making a big impression in the design and environmentally conscious community.  The reason is that they have all of the benefit of creating a great look that is also healthier for you and your family.</p>
<p>You may be wondering what makes clay plaster such a green and healthy alternative.  It has to do with what the material is.  Basically, it is dirt – it’s clay.  And, as such, it doesn’t have any of those toxic properties like paints and other labor intensive materials like wall paper.  You can do this project yourself as well, which makes it another great feature for the home improvement market.  There are some big names in the clay plaster world, the most well known of which is American Clay.  They have a range of products and pigment-dyed clay plasters that you can apply directly over your existing walls.  Some preparation may be necessary depending upon your particular wall applications.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.homedecorgiftmarket.com/home-decor-shop"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-388" title="plaster wall treatment" src="http://www.homedecorgiftmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/plaster-wall-treatment-218x300.gif" alt="plaster wall treatment" width="218" height="300" /></a>There are other ways to get a non-toxic change to your walls.  This can be achieved using <a href="http://homebedroomdecor.com/safe-paints-low-voc-paints/" target="_blank"><strong>low VOC paints</strong></a>.  Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the agents in paint that are added to make it apply and dry quicker and may also be a part of the color itself.  Some paints are inherently more loaded with these chemicals than others.  While there is no conclusive evidence – in some minds – as to the health effects of these compounds, you might find that you or a family member have severe reactions to these types of compounds.  You would be much better off going with a safe paint that is known to have little if any VOCs in them.  This is why clay plaster makes such a great alternative to the traditionally painted wall.</p>
