Unique Home Decor - Thinking Outside The Box

Making your home uniquely yours

Home accents and surroundings today offer much more opportunity for self expression. Don't be afraid to try something different. I'd rather decorate my home with items that appeal to my own individuality, than adhere to someone's standards of what is the norm. Artisan crafted products truly create the ability to make one's castle their own. It is our hope that by providing you with suggestions and ideas, we are encouraging you to enhance your home in a style befitting your distinctive personality.

The charm of artisan crafted items is in the originality it provides. Imagine decorating your bathroom in tropical decor, accented by a hand painted shower curtain. The bathroom is the one room that is often overlooked, but it need not be. Add an artistic designed mirror that reflects your unique persona. One of the most exciting changes you can make to a bathroom is the addition of a distinctive toilet seat. Believe it or not, there are many design possibilities.

Decoupage is a popular craft that turns ordinary items into incredible works of art. A simple glass bowl becomes a cherished heirloom. You can turn a tray or platter into a relative's favorite gift. The possibilities are limitless, and the works created are quite stunning.

Lighting is another outstanding way to set your rooms off. Don't be afraid to add color. Versatile and vibrant, lamps are stylish accents that can turn a whole room around without much effort. Lighting comes in many different shapes and sizes for table, floor, and ceiling. There are many options and you are only limited by your imagination. It's a simple change that can make a dramatic change.

Don't forget your walls! Everyone has paintings and photos adorning their walls. Be different, add a piece of metal wall art. There are patterns available for everyone's taste, so don't be shy. Try something new and out of the ordinary. Like the title says, don't be afraid to step out of the box. You'll be rewarded with a home that is a representation of your unique personality.

Last, but not least, simple accessories provide the finishing touch to your unique home. The small things sometimes make the most difference.

Switchplates There are many different types of switchplates that can perk up a room while keeping within theme.

Picture Frames Picture frames have become very popular over the past several years and there are literally thousands of designs to choose from.

Clocks We can't forget a very simple, yet important addition to every home in the world. Everyone needs a clock, but it doesn't have to be your average run of the mill clock. Don't settle for dull and boring, when you can have unique and striking in appearance.

Hand Painted Mailboxes Another simple but profound change you can make is with the addition of a hand painted mailbox. Today, you can get a mailbox custom painted in any design you desire.

There are many more accents which seem subtle, but really play an important role when decorating your home. We must not forget the many styles of mirrors, outlet covers, fans and more. The possibilities really are limitless. It is our mission to impart to everyone, don't settle for ordinary, when you yourself are extraordinary.
