Modern accessories and the range of decorating freedom available today ensures that you can choose any theme that you want in your interior design. But with so many options available, which way do you exactly go? This is not just about being impulsive as it involves a lot more thought that you would imagine. When you create a brand new room, you have to really envision the theme you want in it. Every great room, from a dwelling out in the country to a castle parlor has a theme and that is what makes it a truly amazing and inviting room to be a part of. Now, there are a million themes to choose from, and when you are doing your own home over and struggling to find that theme, keep in mind some of the themes that have worked for other people.
Patchwork often evokes a sense of nostalgia and memories. Doing patchwork wallpaper means each piece is very manageable and the end result can be amazing. Give it a modern spin by choosing just one wall in a room – alcoves or chimneybreasts work well – and covering it with scraps of wallpaper. Like traditional fabric patchwork, this idea has far more resonance if patterns with sentimental value – the paper from your childhood bedroom or first married home, for example – are included in the mix. The best thing about a patchwork wall, particulalry if you are using vintage wallpaper pieces, is that you are coming up with the design. You’re not going to find the look anywhere else, and it can hold all the elements you want in it.
Is your favourite furniture looking and feeling tired, or do you simply want a new look? Something that you could consider is to have your existing furniture reupholstered.

You may have already invested in good quality furniture that fits your home. Plus you would be doing the environment a favour in not sending your furniture to landfill.
