If you are afraid of the bugs that often accompany the heat, a screened-in porch is the perfect option for you. We love how this porch has the surrounding windows to give a view into such a beautiful backyard. The cushions and the freestanding table are also a pretty touch.

This outdoor area is absolutely beautiful. We love the use of the overhang to give shade to the area. The neutral colors allow the colors of nature to stand out and make a statement. With plenty of seating room for all your friends and family, this chic and beautiful design makes for a great outdoor area.

The tiled wading pool in the picture above adds so many elements to this entire outdoor look. We love the use of the ivy and plays. The casual chairs and burgundy screen really play on the natural outdoor sunshine.

Having a day bed is extremely common. However, this daybed adds a major pop of color as well as adds some unique design aspects. The iron frame paired with the wooden crate bench makes this look contemporary. This would look so beautiful in a backyard surrounded by trees.

Adding wood inspired furniture to any outdoor area just seems right. It’s as if your furniture and nature are one. This look is so beautiful and simplistic. The natural greens and casual throw pillows make this area perfect for outdoor entertaining.

So lovely! We cannot believe how simply adding a gazebo over a pastel inspired design adds so much. This beautiful room looks inviting and comfortable. We definitely wouldn’t mind taking an afternoon nap in here.

There is nothing a man dislikes more about interior design than having to sleep every night under a lime green comfortable with pink throw pillows. As cute or as trendy you think the girly bedroom may be, we advise you to refrain for the sake of the other person having to share the room. Stick to neutrals for the bedroom to ensure comfort for both parties.

The fantastic thing about this room is that a rustic and contemporary design is so in right now. While this not only looks chic and sophisticated, it also adds elements that would make any man feel right at home.

If you feel very strongly about adding a pop of color to bring some warmth to a room, make sure that the color you choose in gender neutral. That means no strong or bright colors that will make the room feel extremely feminine or outrageous. This orange above is soft and subtle enough to make anyone feel comfortable enjoying a nice meal at that table.

We are in love with how perfect this kitchen is for the entire family. The different colored wood finished paired with the stainless steel appliances makes this room incredibly chic. The natural light also does wonders. We have a feeling any man would be more than happy cooking in here.

Bathrooms are always such a difficult space to get correct for each party. Women tend to use an abundance of products, while men only use one or two things. Still, men like to have their space and don’t want to have your makeup overflowing the counter. This bathroom is so simple and contemporary. Yet, it allows for each person to have his or her own space.

We cannot believe how creative and amazing this interior design of this office is. Using a map of the world as wallpaper is sheer genius. The leather couch and antique chest make this room have the perfect “travelers” touch. Who wouldn’t want to hang out here?

One of the most important pieces of advice we can give you is to ensure your guy feels like he has somewhere that he can just hangout. This bar area would be perfect for a basement. He would have a place to watch sports and relax with the guys. Plus, it looks very put together and like a fun area for parties.

This exterior is absolutely stunning. We love how there are dozens of different colors all mixed together. This just makes the cream and wood colored house pop. We also like how the flowers are a little clustered and draping, instead of organized and trimmed.

This room is already bold and bright. However, we love how the flowers on the side table tie together the corals and pinks, as well as adding some green into the mix. It is the perfect addition to such a lovely sitting area.

Oh, how these tulips warm up the room. Although this room has tiny pops of turquoise and yellow, it is mainly white and wicker. Adding the flowers on the part of the room that receives the most sunlight gives it a fresh and airy feel. You almost feel as if you are lying out in the sun.

This room is already so amazing. The pastel colors and the artwork and mirror are so stunning and complementary of each other. The bold and big flower arrangement in the printed vase pulls all of the colors together. It definitely adds something magnificent to this Victorian style room.

This would be such a simple entry way or little nook design idea. If you had an empty corner in your house that needed some color, choosing bright artwork and matching it with simple, yet unique flowers looks incredible. We are in love.

What a quaint and understated room. It is the definition of “homey.” We love how the roses on the chest play with colors that are already present in the room. They aren’t the dominant colors, but accents, and they definitely make this room cozy.

We love this extremely bold and daring look. There is so much color and different aspects to this room, it almost doesn’t even look out or the ordinary. The walls accent the turquoise couch and center-upholstered table perfectly.

This fun bedroom definitely speaks to our inner girl. We are obsessed with the fuchsia comforter, eggplant bench, and turquoise vintage light fixture. The final touch? The hanging mixed colored panting, a simple DIY project that ties together all of the colors impeccably.

This room could have been left completely white and would have still looked beautiful. But, we are happy it wasn’t. The loud orange wall assorted with simple, yet matching accents, really adds something to this room. Adding any daring color to white, no matter what it is, will really make a statement.

We would have never thought that even just changing the color of a tub in a bathroom would make such a huge impact. This look is a must! The bold red tub paired with the matching floral canvas is beautiful.

This bedroom headboard and wallpaper matching set is the definition of electric, and somehow, it works. We love how they made white the accent in this beautifully decorated green bedroom, and took advantage of the gorgeous Pantone color of the year, Emerald.

You definitely have guts if you design a room like this trendy one! But, it totally pays off. We absolutely love the different shades of blues, infused with different pastels and greens as well as some crazy prints.

The first and most popular way to create an Irish environment is to add some green flowers and greenery around the house. Flowers always have a way of brightening up a room. However, make the arrangement mainly green and add variety with different shades of green. This will focus on the St. Patrick’s Day theme, as well as get your home ready for spring!

Sometimes, it’s the modest pieces that can make the biggest differences. In the picture above, a simple white candle is wrapped with St. Patrick’s themed green material and held in place by cheap pearl end pills. We absolutely love this look and how simplistic it is! Everyone loves candles and this design technique allows us to take what we already have and spruce it up!

The green glass display above is a trendy way to make an Irish inspired centerpiece! Gather a collection of green glasses or vases and add them to any table to have that pop of the holiday color. You can even add ribbon or wiring to make each glass unique!

We adore this understated St. Patrick’s Day place setting! The rough twine makes a perfect rustic napkin for the holiday festivities! Embellish with a shamrock leaf and you’re good to go!

It is also very easy to use items that are around your house everyday to help bring out the festive green color. In the picture above, the normal contents of the vase were replaced with faux green apples. This would also work with green stones, decorative balls, or fabrics. It catches the Irish eye, but also is discrete and fashionable.

Adding green accent pillows to any piece of furniture not only makes it festive; it also adds a touch of color to any room. We love the nude coloring of the couch above mixed with the green accent pillows. These pillows also compliment any plants or greenery that may be around the room!

It is an extremely popular to trend to have pieces of furniture decorated with studs. A newer trend is to actually have them form a design on the piece. We love this western dresser with the gold studded star on it. It is a token piece that would add to any room.

Upholstered chairs or couches that are studded have become the new trendy family room. It looks good with any design and carries a contemporary feel. The studding on the couch mixed with the zebra rug makes the room feel fashionable and comfortable.

People are even going as far as studding different walls and ceiling in their houses. In the picture above, simple studding added to the crown molding catches the eye in this pastel colored room. We adore how the Studding even helps bring out the unique pattern on the wall paper and the design on the rug.

We love how understated this look is and how everything matches. The bar stools are low and under the table, but the studding matches the mirror and the lamp, so everything is tied together perfectly!

This last look is probably the most popular studded look of 2013. We have seen upholstered or leather beds with added studs EVERYWHERE. The studding goes with any color fabric or leather and compliments almost any bedding you could chose.

First, we must comment on how much we love this color scheme (purple is a trending color of 2013) and the patterned wall paper. But even with gorgeous throw pillows, pink floral and the striking hint of black, the starburst mirror is still the first thing that catches your eye when you look at this image. The mirror adds softness to the dark, harsh colors throughout the room and adds so much character.

This piece or mirrored art is placed on a large wall in a room with muted tones, causing it to be the first thing that catches your eye when you enter the space. Not only does this piece add interest to the room, with individual mirrors fused together much like a puzzle, it also reflects the light of the window and brightens the feel of the space.

It is expected to have a vanity mirror above the sink in your bathroom, but here is a great way to take that a step further. Putting a full length mirror in your bathroom is great for a few reasons. First, it is going to make this small space look much larger by reflecting any light you may get through a window or from your fixtures. Having a full length mirror in your bathroom also gives you a functioning dressing room, allowing you to see your outfit from head to toe. It isn’t bad motivation for opting out of that donut for breakfast, either.

Mirrors can be utilized in so many ways besides its conventional purpose, like as furniture for example. In this image the designer went with a printed wallpaper and muted accents. You would think that the zebra print walls be the focus of the room, but we can’t help but obsess over the mirrored coffee table and matching side table. These unique pieces add so much character to the room and are without a doubt fabulous statement pieces. Don’t be afraid to try something new and different!

Nothing brightens up a room like mirrors, mirrors and more mirrors. Placing them on a wall adjacent to windows allows the light to bounce off the mirrors and reflect it into the room. Just like that your space will look much larger and the natural light will make the room feel airy and warm. Try installing a full wall mirror in your living room or dining room, like this image, and watch your room transform.

A full ceiling mirror is another spin on ways to illuminate a room and make it look bigger. Try this in your dining room and living room for a sophisticated and romantic feel. The mirrored ceiling in this image compliments the floor to ceiling windows with a panoramic view, reflecting the beautiful colors of the sunset. Feeling crazy? The master bedroom is another great place for a mirrored ceiling.

The kitchen is, in our opinion, one of the most under estimated rooms in the house in its capability for design. The kitchen is where you express yourself through food, so why not make it your happy place by decorating in a way that makes you want to spend even more time in it? This kitchen exemplifies an excellent way to incorporate floral without going overboard. The cabinets, counter tops and walls are all a beautiful white color that makes the room look bright and so large. The white is then offset by a palette of bright, fun colors including the lime green floral lamp shade and seat cushions. A hint of a fun pattern, like floral, brings life to a fairly plain room. We love this!

There is so much to love about this room from the textured walls to the natural light and the fabulous bright green floral arrangement. But what we love most about this design is the subtle yet beautiful use of a unique floral pattern. Sometimes redecorating your home can be overwhelming and discouraging; there are so many colors, patterns and styles to choose from. This design did a great job at balancing that with the muted yet statement walls, white couch and most importantly, the floral patterned chair. The colors on the floral pattern stand out amongst the color scheme of the room and the matching throw pillow on the couch is merely the icing on the cake.

Unlike the last two floral components, this option is for those who aren’t afraid to be BOLD. Instead of choosing a chair or say a floral printed rug for a room, make the wall your statement. Choose wallpaper that has a large floral pattern or if you know an artist, have the flowers painted on to the wall. If you choose to go down this road, make sure you choose furniture and accent pieces that won’t compete with your statement wall. Like in this picture, choose a color from your wall and buy furniture in a solid form of that color. If you choose a pattern on your furniture as well, your room may look very busy and confusing to the eye when guests enter.
