Pre-made curtains do not always fit. You need to take the measurements of the window in order to make the proper drapes. Measuring the window space is very important. A little inaccuracy can lead to making bad and mis-matched drapes. The length of the curtain will depend on the height of the window. Next choose a drape fabric of your choice. It is better if you use soft fabrics and light fabrics. You can also choose heavy and thick fabrics. The best is to use cotton curtains.</p>
<p>Now you have to decide on the detailing of the curtains. This will include the stitches, the polishing etc. Make sure that the seams are hidden and the edges are embroidered. The detailing shows the finishing touches done on the curtain. Lastly decide on pattern for the style of the drapes. Little details are important when you do the drapes of your house.</p>

If you are in a mood to make a few changes in your room décor you can always use a lot of plants. This will not only enhance your room’s décor but would also sprinkle a tinge of refreshment around.</p>
<p>While you choose on the plants you have to keep in mind your rooms style. For instance, if it’s a contemporary style the clean lines with long slender shapes are the apt ones. Similarly for a Victorian style it is the feminine frilly ferns and for a southwestern style cacti’s would be the best. You can also club together plants of varied shapes to fill up your vacate corners in the room. Preferably go for the same kind of plants while you group them, this way it is easy to take care of them together. You should ofcourse maintain a balance in the heights of the plant while grouping to keep it easy on eye. Go for single container or trunk and get plants from same family of different colours and same water needs. You can also use plants in your bathroom to get yourself a spa ambience and can improvise deep containers with fabrics or bricks to adjust with the height.</p>
<p>Finally while placing plants all you need to do is maintain a balance in terms of its height and the space you are using it for.</p>

And when you have guests at home, you will be just flattered. Apart from having a stunning effect, you do not need to restrain yourself from adding or excluding anything. It’s all yours’, you just need to follow a little basic, and then the sky is the limit. Because Indian décor is a complete mixture of one journey from the authentic to modern to antique and everything in between is being included.</p>
<p>?	You need to go through sites and magazines to come to a final plan, and make a plan for what you need to do.<br />
?	You need to choose a variety of colors, as you are intending to add a dash of colors right? Go with more of reds and gold, but keep most of rich colors, as this décor cannot be sober.<br />
?	You also need to consider carpets; this will give a medieval effect.</p>

You can make a room look larger than what it is by using suitable colour paints for the walls and some artifacts. Choose art works that represent your personality. You can put these art works in your living room and bed room.</p>
<p>A recent trend is to use bold coloured furniture. These blend well with light coloured walls. Use good lightings for the rooms. The lighting is very important. You can use small and big chandeliers depending on where you want to put them. You need to use curtains matching the walls. Go through several shops before you decide on the artifacts that you want to keep.</p>
<p>Not all rooms will have the same décor. Go through different blogs to get more ideas on how to do a living room, your kid’s room, the bedroom and the living room. Try to use as less furniture as possible. This makes your room look spacious.</p>
