Easy Interior Decorating Ideas
If you have your own house, you will want to have it look the way you choose. You want the style and décor to match how you feel inside, be it contemporary, traditional, modern, or simplistic. Your space and its interior decorating should reflect who you are. It would be strange to find yourself coming home to a house that does not reflect anything about you. Following are some interior design ideas to show the best of your taste without overwhelming your house.
Tip 1: Personalize
When you are trying to sell a home, any stager will tell you to take away any personality from it. Put away family pictures, pictures of the kids, and personal artwork. Keep the colors and the designs classic and simple. But when you are living in your house, you want to personalize it and make it your own. Interior decorating ideas come in handy when you are planning the look of your home, but you don't require specialized skills to do a professional job with your home deorating. One thing you can do to put your own stamp on your home is to design an original painting. You can glue bits of fabric to a canvas, get your children to paint or make you a picture, or paint your own contemporary art work. The objective is that they don't have to look professional, just different.
Tip 2: Decorate Every Room
Although it may take you a long time to complete it, ensure that you paintyour entire home. There may be some parts that you don't use frequently, like a office. Even so, when you are in that room you will want it to be a nice place of interest. A office design that is comfortable and pleasant will make you work harder and be more at ease in your office. If you paint every room except that room, it will stand out like a sore thumb. Plus, you won't feel as comfortable in there as in the other parts of the house and you may even stay away fromthat space. But if you do some interior design in there, it will be a comfortable space to spend your work time.
Tip 3: You Don't Have to Use Paint
Home decorating can be completed without changing the color of the walls. You may have many reasons not to paint. If you are renting the property you may not be able to paint. Or you could have a lot of furniture in the room and you are not able to move it to paint. You could even be disabled and not have the ability to paint. Whatever your reason, you can change the look and feel of your home without painting buy purchasing a few key pieces of furniture and accessories!
Following these basis tips on interior decorating ideas will show you how you can change the look of your home easily. You don't need to spend a lot of money, but with a little time and effort you can have the beautiful home you desire very quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Why only weird (abstract) modern artworks win the Saatchi showdowns.?
I am a professional self-taught artist and I love realist art and I am influenced by the renaissance style. I love perfection and symbolism in art and honestly abstract art disgusts me. Why ugliness is given so much importance to the point of being an obsession and a standard? They say that it reflects modern life but I must say that ugliness and misery and absurdity always existed since the beginning of the human existence. Al Capp says "Abstract art is a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered." I agree with him!
An example of my artworks is this:

Answer:
I agree. I have spent a great deal of time on sites such as the Web Gallery of Art (only goes up to the mid-19th century). I'm self-taught, too, in techniques such as portrait miniatures, manuscript miniatures, and illumination; I've taken classes to learn more, but no organized program of learning, such as a degree.
I like the the painting you linked to, though I won't claim it's one of my favorites. But at least I know what you were looking at, and how much skill it took to put your thoughts and vision onto canvas.
And lately, just as we were getting fed up with abstract expressionism and all its friends, along came "conceptual art," such as this attempt:
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/visual_arts/article7071742.ece
That said, there are things about "modern art" that I do appreciate. I don't object to a particularly textured and lovely section of bark being broken or cut and hung on a wall as art. I like trees, and tree bark, indoors and out. 
Ditto for rocks and sections of rocks, bones, preserved leaf collages, and the occasional piece of driftwood or weathered board. But the "artist," in these cases, is at least not claiming 6-digit (or 7- or 8-digit) prices for these pieces. (Damien Hirst's dead and shriveling sharks-in-plexiglass-cases do NOT appeal to me at all!)
I also do like public plazas with odd neon-light pieces, and metal overhead mobiles where trees aren't appropriate, and twirling or jumping fountains, and stylized sculptures in plazas and parks that double as monkey-bars and climbing-mountains for kids. "Artistic" works like these do give and bring life to too-often bare, boxy, windswept places in cities and towns.
I say, let the people who like modern art have it -- all they can stand of it. BUT, when this is the *only* style of art-work that is acceptable in competitions, museum acquisitions, and investment collections --- well! Al Capp's quote says it all!
On a brighter note, check out the Archibald Prize in Australia. It's a comp for portrait paintings of famous Australians, any style. They get all sorts of media and styles, but the winners aren't always the most abstract pieces. It's sometimes funny, the differences between the Packing Room and People's Choice Prizes, and the winners chosen by the art experts (I've been following this comp, among others, for years).

So, wanna start an annual competition strictly for 21st-century realist art? Hmmm, where could we get some decent prize-money from?
