Wall decor ideas for your room

We have some interesting ideas that you could consider. These ideas are inexpensive to make and you can totally make them yourself, and what’s best is that they will look great on your walls.
Of course, you always have wallpapers to adorn your walls. You could choose a lovely pattered one which goes with the design of the house. This could be an expensive and a comparatively more inflexible option though.
Gather all the postcards you’ve received or collected during your travels and frame them together to create a lovely postcard wall decor.
Pick out your favourite photographs of sceneries and locations that you’ve been to and frame each of them and hang them at various heights and you have your own personal art gallery at home.
Paintings are photos are not the only things you can frame. Pull out those old silk scarves, frame them and hang them up to add a lovely pattern and texture to the room.
Adding one oversized painting or photograph to your room (bedroom, perhaps) gives it a dramatic effect and immediately creates interest.
Color block is so in these days and there are endless ways you can experiment with that. You could try whacky and unconventional ideas like 3D wall art.
A lovely bookshelf is an evergreen idea for your walls. If you have a huge blank wall, try putting in bookshelf there and fill it with books. It instantly adds class and an erudite feeling to your house.
Another creative way of decorating your wall is to use maps as wallpaper. You could also frame maps of different parts of the world separately. This is a great idea for the children’s room.
Mirror mirror on the wall can do wonders to the room. You could tweak it a little by placing several mirrors of different shapes and sizes and different frames. Mirrors make you room look bigger.
One can always do with some inspiration and motivation. So why not have your favorite inspirational quotes pinned up on your wall?
Choose the one that catches your fancy and have fun decorating your wall.

Cleaning Tricks for Keeping Your Kitchen Spotless..!!!

If you want to keep your kitchen tidy, these are a few of the habits people with spotless kitchens do every day:

Tackle the tough spots on your counter tops, floors, and pots with surprising everyday items (like salt and ketchup).

USE BAKING SODA TO MOP UP TILE

To clean tile floors or a backsplash, mix baking soda and water together as a homemade cleaner. Pour half a cup of baking soda into two gallons of water. Then scrub with a string mop or sponge.

CLEAN CAST IRON WITH SALT

To clean a cast-iron pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil and place on medium heat. Once the pan is heated, pour in 3 tablespoons of salt. Next, using a tong to hold a paper towel, scour until clean. Finally, rinse and coat with vegetable oil to cure. Done!

WIPE AWAY WALL SPLATTERS

There are basically two kinds of stains on painted walls: oil- and waterborne. Take a wet cloth or paper towel to the waterborne ones — wine, Jell-O, ketchup, mustard, even smashed mosquitoes. For oily stains — cooking grease or crayon — try using a little mild dishwashing soap mixed in with water, and then rinsing with water.

ZAP STONE COUNTER STAINS WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

You can remove most coffee or juice stains with a little hydrogen peroxide in water, plus a few drops of ammonia.

REMOVE TARNISH WITH KETCHUP

It’s not just for French fries. To remove tarnish from copper and brass fixtures, pots, and pans, give ketchup a shot. Dab some onto a soft cloth and gently rub. Finish by rinsing with warm water.

SHINE FLOORS WITH WHITE VINEGAR

“You want to get a nice clean shine on a wood floor? Get yourself a bucket and mix nine parts warm water to one part white vinegar.

TIPS FOR INDOOR GARDENING

  1. Peat free compost is suitable for indoor plants.
  2. Plant in a sunny location. Vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  3. Water your plants only when the potting mix feels dry to the touch – over watering is often the cause of indoor plant death.
  4. Larger pots hold more soil and moisture, and therefore allows the plants to grow a bigger root system.

TIPS ON HOME LOANS

  1. You must check beforehand whether the down payment and the EMIs are within your range or not.
  2. The down payment you decide to shell out should be planned in a way that you still have the money to meet any emergency, while the EMIs should be planned as per the basic rule of not exceeding 45% of your total income.
  3. Keep in mind that don’t go by the offers of just one, but consider at least 5-6 companies before making your decision
  4.  Enquire and compare processing fees in all the banks before you finalize.

PREVENT CONCRETE WATER LEAKAGE

  1. When there are leaks in a flat concrete roof, the fast fix is to apply some kind of sealant or waterproof cement.
  2. Clean the entire roof surface with a pressure washer. Fill large cracks with roofing cement, and then apply a good prime.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOME ON MONSOON

  1. Make sure all cracks are filled in before monsoon. We know that you don’t want to harvest rain inside your home!
  2. Wooden doors and floors absorb water; apply wax to prevent extra moisture.
  3. Use rubber mats rather than cloth mats.

FURNISH YOUR HOME TO AN AIRY ONE

  1. Use light colours on the walls
  2. Use multipurpose furniture – a dining table with a shelf beneath it
  3. Place a mirror just opposite a window, it will reflect all the light available
