<p>Whether your decorating style could be described as classic, cottage, eclectic, modern, or what have you, <a href="http://ecosalon.com/on-trend-nautical-stripes/">decorating with stripes</a> fits all tastes.</p>
<p>Many think of decorating with stripes as only appropriate for homes that could be called classic, or preppy, but that’s much too limiting for all the possibilities with this pattern. Decorating with stripes is more than just classic navy and white nautical stripes; although, there is nothing wrong with that if that fits with your style. Stripes are a <a href="http://ecosalon.com/fearless-home-decor-mix-and-match-patterns/">bold pattern </a>that lends itself nicely to a variety of treatments. Stripes are a perfect pattern for making a statement and work nicely mixed with other patterns like floral, chevron, dots, and more. Stripes can be a great way to add color (like rainbow stripes), or use a monochromatic palette (like black and white) for a more neutral approach.</p>
<h1>Decorating with Stripes</h1>
<h2>Furniture</h2>
<figure id="attachment_164984" style="width: 1148px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-164984" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2018/01/iStock-512282708.jpg" alt="How to Decorate With Stripes for Any Style" width="1148" height="914" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-512282708.jpg 1148w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-512282708-625x498.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-512282708-768x611.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-512282708-1024x815.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-512282708-600x478.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1148px) 100vw, 1148px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/onzeg</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>One easy way to add stripes to a room is with furniture. Fabric-covered chairs or sofas can turn a room from drab to fab. You can even redo an older chair or sofa in striped fabric yourself for a less expensive and more eco-friendly approach. Speaking of DIY, you can add stripes to a much-loved coffee or side table with painters’ tape and paint. Here is a <a href="http://www.ambertysl.com/2015/03/05/diy-striped-dining-room-table/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tutorial</a>, if you need a little inspiration to get you started.</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->

<h2>Walls</h2>
<figure id="attachment_164985" style="width: 1254px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-164985" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2018/01/iStock-874411190.jpg" alt="How to Decorate With Stripes for Any Style" width="1254" height="836" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-874411190.jpg 1254w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-874411190-625x417.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-874411190-768x512.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-874411190-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-874411190-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/1n4mal</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>For a more permanent treatment, adding stripes with paint or wallpaper is another way to go. One thing to watch out for is the scale of your stripes to your room. The general rule of thumb is the larger your room, the wider your stripes should be. The other tip to consider is making sure that the stripes don&#8217;t take over the room. To that end, try adding stripes to one wall for an accent. If you need a little know-how, the DIY Network is a good place to look for tutorials on <a href="http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/make-and-decorate/decorating/how-to-paint-wall-stripes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to paint stripes</a>.</p>
<h2>Rugs, Curtains, and Textiles</h2>
<figure id="attachment_164982" style="width: 1183px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-164982" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2018/01/iStock-698733880.jpg" alt="How to Decorate With Stripes for Any Style" width="1183" height="887" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-698733880.jpg 1183w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-698733880-625x469.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-698733880-768x576.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-698733880-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-698733880-800x600.jpg 800w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-698733880-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1183px) 100vw, 1183px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/</em>bulgac</figcaption></figure>
<p>If you don’t own your own space, chances are you aren’t going to be redecorating with paint or wallpaper. Don’t get discouraged, though. It is super easy to add your favorite pattern just by switching up your rug or with new curtains or blinds. You can get quite a bit of drama from a boldly-striped rug or curtains. And if you want to try a bit of DIY, take a look at <a href="https://placeofmytaste.com/abstract-curtains-sharpie-paint-markers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this tutorial</a> for adding pattern to plain curtains with sharpie markers!</p>
<h2>Smaller Touches</h2>
<figure id="attachment_164983" style="width: 1254px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-164983 size-full" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2018/01/iStock-639582454.jpg" alt="Decorate with stripes" width="1254" height="836" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-639582454.jpg 1254w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-639582454-625x417.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-639582454-768x512.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-639582454-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2018/01/iStock-639582454-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/JustHappy</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>Don’t worry if your budget is on the smaller size. Decorating with stripes can be as simple as adding those smaller touches that make a room a home. Accessories like throw pillows, afghans and throws, knickknacks and vases, wall art, lampshades, floor pillows and poufs, and more are all a great way to add whatever the latest color or pattern that you are crazy about. Check out <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/design/make-and-celebrate/handmade/step-by-step-striped-lampshade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this tutorial</a> for adding stripes to a plain lampshade.</p>

<p>Being a crazy lady, or a crazy cat dude, does not mean you need to sacrifice style. It is possible to live with cats and also have <a href="http://ecosalon.com/10-fantastically-stylish-pet-beds-that-match-your-decor/">chic home decor</a>.</p>
<p>As much as some people might think, it is possible to have nice things and live with feline roommates. Having nice things and living with either children or dogs, well that’s another story. Cats, on the other hand, are made to live in style. <a href="http://ecosalon.com/23-pawsitively-purrfect-quotes-about-cats/">Feline companions</a> can actually contribute quite a bit towards making chic home decor possible, in my humble opinion.</p>
<p>The key is to combine your love of chic home decor and cats in one. For example, furniture that serves double-duty for humans and cats alike or really uniquely designed cat products fit the bill. Don’t believe me? Read on to be convinced that cats and chic home decor are possible for every crazy cat lover out there.</p>

<p>Get into the holiday spirit with these easy peasy <a href="http://ecosalon.com/9-super-easy-diy-tree-alternative-ideas/">DIY holiday</a> decorating ideas that you can put together in less than an afternoon. All that’s needed are some household items destined to be repurposed and little creativity.</p>
<h1>10 Repurposed Holiday Decorating Ideas</h1>
<p><strong>1. Origami Wrapping Paper Ornaments</strong> &#8211; Leftover <a href="http://ecosalon.com/16-gift-wrapping-ideas-to-take-your-holiday-prezzies-to-the-next-level/">wrapping paper</a> from holidays from years past is perfect to repurpose into origami ornaments.</p>
<p><strong>2. Yoga Mat Door Mat</strong> &#8211; Have an extra yoga mat? Turn a yoga mat into a holiday-themed doormat with a box cutter, some spray paint, and letter stencils to spell out a holiday welcome.</p>
<p><strong>3. Jar Light Displays</strong> &#8211; Repurpose glass jars into a festive light display with battery-powered mini LED string lights. Group a collection of jars for a seasonal light display centerpiece for your holiday gathering.</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->
    <div id="div-gpt-ad-1430927735854-0">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    googletag.cmd.push(function() {
      googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1430927735854-0");
      googletag.pubads().refresh([adslot4]);
    });
    </script>
    </div>

    <!-- ES-In-Content
		<script type="text/javascript">
		GA_googleFillSlot("ES-In-Content");
		</script>--></div>
<p><strong>4. Mobile Tree</strong> &#8211; Using a large round embroidery hoop, tie strands of textiles and festive sewing notions like rickrack, glitter yarn and more for a low-maintenance “tree”. Add metallic holiday bulb ornaments for extra points.</p>
<p><strong>5. Cardboard Tree</strong> &#8211; Anyone with pets will tell you that a Christmas tree can be tricky. Instead of worrying about the tree getting brought down by the cats, repurpose cardboard into a festive tree with a little creative spirit.</p>
<p><strong>6. Fabric Advent Calendar</strong> &#8211; Repurpose textiles headed for the scrap bin into a DIY advent calendar with a little sewing know-how. Cut out shapes (star, circle, diamond) using a cardboard stencil. Sew two pieces of fabric together and stuff with batting. Add numbers with glitter paint. Use clothespins to hang from some Bakers’ twine for a homemade holiday countdown.</p>
<p><strong>7. DIY Snow Globes</strong> &#8211; Mason jars that have seen one too many canning seasons (the jars do weaken from repeated use) can be repurposed into snow globes. Super Glue a holiday tchotchke on the bottom of the jar and fill it with a little glycerin, water, and glitter (the glycerin should keep the glitter from clumping).</p>
<p><strong>8. Sheet Christmas Tree</strong> &#8211; Not into the whole bringing a live tree in the house or putting up a fake tree? Instead make a tree from a sheet (or tablecloth, bedspread, or another textile) that has gotten a little dingy. Use fabric dye to color the fabric green and then cut out a tree shape. Hang the tree from a curtain and use spray starch if needed.</p>
<p><strong>9. Tiered Glassware and Plate Centerpiece</strong> &#8211; Repurpose glassware and plates that you might be giving to the thrift store into a tiered display centerpiece. Use Super Glue or epoxy to affix the glass to the plates. Add pine boughs, succulents, or votive with tealights to create a lovely DIY holiday centerpiece.</p>
<p><strong>10. Cookie Cutter Ornaments</strong> &#8211; Don’t toss out those old cookie cutters! Instead, add a little spray paint and twine to create super easy DIY holiday ornaments.</p>

<p dir="ltr">It might seem like magic, but creating a <a href="http://ecosalon.com/7-stunning-entryway-ideas-for-a-welcoming-home/">welcoming home</a> is as easy as following a formula.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Have you ever walked into someone’s home and been immediately envious that it wasn’t yours? And we aren’t talking about some mansion either, but about those homes that make you want to kick off your shoes, curl up with your legs underneath you on the sofa, and stay forever.</p>
<h1 dir="ltr">7 Steps to Creating a Welcoming Home</h1>
<figure id="attachment_163518" style="width: 1365px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-163518" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2017/11/iStock-607759506.jpg" alt="" width="1365" height="769" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-607759506.jpg 1365w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-607759506-625x352.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-607759506-768x433.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-607759506-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-607759506-600x338.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/hemul75</em></figcaption></figure>
<h2 dir="ltr">1.Art That Draws You In</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Choose colorful, warm, and dynamic <a href="http://ecosalon.com/7-stunning-entryway-ideas-for-a-welcoming-home/">art</a> to cover the walls like bold prints or landscape photos. Get playful with your placement as well. Instead of placing art at standing eye level, consider hanging artwork at eye level for when you are sitting down! Just this simple adjustment can change the whole feel of a room.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr">2. Be True to Yourself</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Don’t be too rigid with your decorating style. Allow yourself to step outside the predominant style of your room to add those touches that you love. A room that is too “perfect” can come across can cold and unwelcoming. And one should always decorate with items from their travels, gifts from loved ones, and those things that speak to you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_163520" style="width: 1273px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-163520" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2017/11/iStock-611177968.jpg" alt="" width="1273" height="824" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-611177968.jpg 1273w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-611177968-625x405.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-611177968-768x497.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-611177968-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-611177968-600x388.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1273px) 100vw, 1273px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/Ralwel</em></figcaption></figure>
<h2 dir="ltr">3. Find the Focal Point</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Whether it’s a fireplace, a window, or the layout of the room arrange your furniture around that focal point or highlight it, whatever the case may be. By the same token, color can be used to manage a room. For example, an accent wall can help draw visitors into a long rectangular room.</p>
<figure id="attachment_163517" style="width: 1254px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-163517" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2017/11/iStock-184856544.jpg" alt="" width="1254" height="836" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-184856544.jpg 1254w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-184856544-625x417.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-184856544-768x512.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-184856544-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-184856544-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/IvanWuPI</em></figcaption></figure>
<h2 dir="ltr">4. The Right Lighting</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Believe it or not, lighting can completely change a room. Don’t think of lamps and lighting fixtures as an afterthought, but create your room around the lighting and your intended use of the room. A dramatic overhead light might be ideal for a room you plan on entertaining in, while recessed lighting would work best for a family room. Another point to consider, according to Ashley Rose Marino of <a href="http://ashleyrosemarino.weebly..com/">Ashley Rose Marino Designs</a>, “If the space is especially dark, even with additional lighting, you may want to consider lightening your decor with the addition of whites and greys instead of darker beiges to add brightness through your furniture.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_163516" style="width: 1254px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-163516" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2017/11/iStock-600101346.jpg" alt="" width="1254" height="836" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-600101346.jpg 1254w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-600101346-625x417.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-600101346-768x512.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-600101346-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-600101346-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/KatarzynaBialasiewicz</em></figcaption></figure>
<h2 dir="ltr">5. Texture</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Texture is key to shaping a welcoming home. Rugs, pillows, throws, curtains and other textiles can go a long way to making a space more interesting and inviting. Texture can be a way to introduce visual interest and keep a room from looking flat. You also want to think about texture when considering furniture&#8211;some fabrics and finishes are jut way more comfortable and call out for you to sink into them.</p>
<figure id="attachment_163515" style="width: 1254px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-163515" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2017/11/iStock-618346464.jpg" alt="The 7 Step No-Fail Formula for a Creating a Welcoming Home" width="1254" height="836" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-618346464.jpg 1254w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-618346464-625x417.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-618346464-768x512.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-618346464-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-618346464-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/asbe</em></figcaption></figure>
<h2 dir="ltr">6. Create Flow</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Use furniture and open space to draw in visitors and to help facilitate conversation and comfort. Too much furniture squashed together does not make for a welcoming room. Mark Cutler from <a href="http://www.markcutlerdesign.com/">Mark Cutler DESIGN, INC</a> puts it best, “Is it clear how you are supposed to enter the room, try not to have furniture cluttered everywhere, create simple and defined areas for each activity.”</p>
<figure id="attachment_163514" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-163514" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/2017/11/iStock-520536109.jpg" alt="The 7 Step No-Fail Formula for a Creating a Welcoming Home" width="1024" height="1024" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-520536109.jpg 1024w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-520536109-350x350.jpg 350w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-520536109-625x625.jpg 625w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-520536109-768x768.jpg 768w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/11/iStock-520536109-600x600.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>iStock/mihalis_a</em></figcaption></figure>
<h2 dir="ltr">7. Minimalism Can Be Good</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Not only can minimalism be good for the planet, but it can also help save you money and create a more welcoming space. As Elaine Thompson, lifestyle specialist at<a href="http://www.justenergy.com"> Just Energy</a>, puts it, “Focusing on a few quality pieces to put in a room is far better than cluttering it with a bunch of knick-knacks and things that don&#8217;t add value to your space. Think about how you want someone to feel in the room, and then only contribute pieces that support that idea. A great thing about this strategy is that it will make your living space look classy AF and save you money.”</p>

<p>Pendant lamps are hanging lighting fixtures that are less fussy than chandeliers. While chandeliers often take over a room, pendant lamps are more a part of the whole look&#8211;rather than the main focus. And while you are making lighting changes, you might as well choose more <a href="http://ecosalon.com/scent-sational-benefits-sustainable-wildcrafted-incense/">sustainable</a> options. Choose from fixtures that are made from recycled materials, more sustainable materials, and those designed to utilize more energy-efficient lighting fixtures.</p>

<p><a href="http://ecosalon.com/6-ridiculously-cool-pieces-of-reclaimed-wood-art/"><i>Shiplap planking</i></a><i> consists of wooden boards commonly used for exterior buildings like barns and sheds. It’s also taken the DIY world by storm as an interior material to create a rustic planked walls.</i></p>
<h2>What is Shiplap Planking?</h2>
<p>Shiplap, for those not in the know, doesn’t refer to just any wood planking. Shiplap boards are grooved on each long end, which allows the boards to overlap each other. It’s the overlapping that makes shiplap special. The overlapping boards create a tight seal making it an excellent way to protect your building from the elements. While that’s not such an urgent requirement indoors, the shadow the boards create where they overlap creates a delicious lined effect.</p>
<figure id="attachment_161461" style="width: 570px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-161461 size-full" src="http://ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Shiplap-Planking.jpg" alt="Shiplap planking primer." width="570" height="570" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/05/Shiplap-Planking.jpg 570w, https://storage.googleapis.com/wpesc/1/2017/05/Shiplap-Planking-350x350.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><em>Image via <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheReclaimedNation?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TheReclaimedNation</a></em></figcaption></figure>
<p>Shiplap planking can be purchased new from most home improvement stores or can be sourced from reclaimed wood outbuildings, making it a more sustainable choice for DIY projects. Estate sales, Craigslist, NextDoor, Antique shops, and Etsy, are all great resources for finding reclaimed shiplap planking.</p>
<h2>What Isn&#8217;t Shiplap Planking?</h2>
<p>Since shiplap DIY projects can be found all over DIY TV shows, on blogs, and in the pages of magazines, it might appear that shiplap is everywhere. However, a lot of what is called shiplap is not really made from shiplap planking. Remember, if you want to sound like a pro, shiplap is <a href="http://ecosalon.com/15-simple-ideas-to-add-texture-with-rustic-home-decor/">rustic</a> wood planking, but not all rustic wood planking is shiplap. Shiplap planking must have the signature grooves (called <em>rabbet)</em>; otherwise, it’s just wood planking. That’s not a bad thing, but you want to sound like you know what you’re talking about with your DIY friends, right?</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->

<h2>Shiplap Planking Project Ideas</h2>
<p>Shiplap planking isn’t only for walls. With a little know-how (here’s a link to a <a href="http://www.tableandhearth.com/2015/09/easy-diy-shiplap-wall.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shiplap tutorial</a> to get you started) and the proper tools, you can apply shiplap to just about everything! Here are a few ideas.</p>
<p>1. Shiplap Wall Art &#8211; Attach shiplap boards to plywood to create a base for your own wall art. Get creative and paint, decoupage, or use it as a photo frame.</p>
<p>2. Shiplap Pallet Coffee Table &#8211; Shiplap can be applied to any tabletop to help create a rustic feel, but you get extra points if you DIY the coffee table from pallets.</p>
<p>3. Shiplap Coat Hooks &#8211; Spruce up your entryway by adding shiplap planks to your wall and adding hooks to create a place to hangs coats and bags.</p>
<p>4. Shiplap Headboard &#8211; Shiplap lends itself nicely to a DIY rustic headboard project. Shiplap directly on the wall behind your bed, or shiplap onto plywood to create a standalone headboard.</p>
<p>5. Shiplap Chalkboard &#8211;  Apply a square of shiplap planking to a wall and paint it with chalkboard paint for a rustic blackboard addition to your room.</p>

<p><i>Go bold with high contrast <a href="http://ecosalon.com/7-deceptively-simple-diy-black-and-white-decorating-ideas/">black and white patterns</a> for your home. </i></p>
<p>No matter the size of your home&#8211;a studio apartment, a spacious townhome, or a palatial suburban single-family home&#8211;one easy way to add bold visual interest is with black and white patterns. From florals, stripes, paisley, gingham, chevron and more, there’s a world of pattern to pick from across the spectrum&#8211;or at least at least from either end.</p>
<p>Don’t be afraid to <a href="http://ecosalon.com/fearless-home-decor-mix-and-match-patterns/">mix and match</a> black and white patterns either. As long as your keep things dichromatic (meaning having two colors, as opposed to monochromatic which refers to one single color), patterns of all kinds can come together for a beautiful black and white statement.</p>
<p>Additionally, get creative with it and think about adding black and white patterns in unexpected ways. From retro black and white patterned floor tile to a painted black and white chevron ceiling, the limits are your imagination and your budget!</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->

<p><em>Blue and white is a winning color combination for your space.</em></p>
<p>With spring and summer heading our way, you may have an eye toward brightening up your decor. One great way to do that is with color, and one fabulous on-trend color combination is <a href="http://ecosalon.com/7-sure-fire-ways-to-make-a-statement-with-neutral-colors/">blue and white</a>. Blue and white conjure up images of the Mediterranean (especially of Greece), Cape Cod, and other desirous coastal locations. Adding blue and white can add a bright, cheeriness to your home and give it a relaxed air that’s both welcoming to visitors and makes for a  wonderful oasis for you.</p>
<p>Need to get inspired? Read on for some suggestions for adding blue and white decor elements to your space for a little color inflection. There’s no reason to reinvent the color wheel&#8211;instead, choose a color combination that has been a mainstay for thousands of years!</p>

<p>Get warm and toasty with these throw blankets that combine just the perfect amount of warmth and fun design. By the way, the Danish have a word special word for getting cozy. They call it <i>hygge</i>, and it’s pretty much a national pastime, particularly during the winter. It sounds like the rest of the Northern Hemisphere could learn a thing or two from the Danes.</p><div id="inContentContiner"><!-- /4450967/ES-In-Content -->
