Have you ever been to Hawaii? If so, chances are that you have fallen in love with it like so many others who have visited this dream holiday destination.

Unfortunately holidays always come to an end, and then it is “back to normality”.

If you love this very unique place in the South Pacific with its charm and exotic culture and you want to hang on to the very special “Hawaiian Holiday” feeling and enjoy a slice of Hawaii at home, you can actually do so by adding decor items to your interior that will depict Hawaii’s style and icons, and its tropical ambient.

Hawaii is full of contrasts and extremes. It is a place famous for its turquoise bays, white sandy beaches, surf, waving palm trees, exotic collection of birdlife, lush tropical vegetation and balmy sunshine all year round.

If you want home decor out of the ordinary, the Hawaiian theme is right for you. If you want to achieve extravagance, relaxation and a total island getaway, Hawaiian home decor and furniture will bring life into your dreams. To create a Hawaiian hideaway at home you need to look for decor items which can capture Hawaii’s uniqueness, energy and aura in your home.

Adding items like Hula Girls, a Ukulele or the Tiki Statue (which are all icons of Hawaii) to your decor will greatly enhance the Hawaiian feel in your home. Some people believe that having a Tiki item in the house adds a breezy island spirit that makes them feel like they are on vacation all year round. Hibiscus flowers are also one of the icons of Hawaii which you can use to spruce up your Hawaiian home decor. Or think of the Leis, the flower necklace. Hang a few of them on the wall, or have pictures of them throughout the house.

An absolute must when decorating in a tropical/Hawaiian theme are broad leaf plants and any sort of palm trees. Have one or two corners in your living room where you group plants together for a feeling of lushness.

Brighten up your home with bold colors, natural textures and lush greenery and surround yourself with everything Hawaiian to recreate this polynesian ambiance. Bright pinks, pure white, deep green, sunshine yellow are all colors that speak of tropical places. You could paint your walls in green and white and add accents of pink, yellow and orange.

Hawaii is also very well known for it’s surfing qualities. If you love this great sport, go ahead and do add surfing related items to your home decor! Make a wave and transform your special place into a Surfer’s heaven!

Save yourself a plane ticket, get creative and transform your home into a Hawaiian paradise by adding unique Hawaiian and tropical decor!

Mirrors provide a special touch in home decor by adding light and creating the illusion of space. A mirror is defined as a reflecting surface that forms an image of an object when light rays coming from that object fall on the surface.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the typical mirror is a sheet of glass that is coated on its back with aluminum or silver that produces images by reflection. This type of mirror came into widespread production in Venice during the 16th century.

Here are ten tips for using mirrors in your home decor:

1. Place a mirror on an adjacent wall to an interesting picture or piece of artwork and the mirror will reflect the image and add a sense of space.

2. Hang a decorative mirror near a window in a dark room. This will allow the light to reflect off the mirror creating more natural light in the room.

3. To create the illusion of depth in a room, paint one wall in a dark, contrasting color to the other walls. Then hang a decorative mirror on the dark wall to create a sense of depth in the room.

4. Create a charming entryway by hanging up a framed mirror topped with a floral swag. This will help to create light in the entryway as well as providing a last minute check before heading out the door.

5. Expand a small dining room by placing an ornate mirror on a wall. This will make the room appear larger and brighter.

6. Place a decorative mirror opposite an attractive fireplace and mantel to reflect something interesting in the room.

7. Group and hang several mirrors of assorted sizes and shapes for an attractive wall display.

8. Add mirrors (such as mirror tiles) to the backs of bookcases to add a sense of depth.

9. In the kitchen, add mirror to the countertop’s backsplash. This will reflect light while preparing food and it is easy to maintain.

10. Place a custom sized mirror on the top of a piece of furniture that is damaged or not very attractive. This can be done on dressers, tabletops, coffee tables, and end tables just to name a few.

Always be sure to analyze the placement of mirrors before hanging them up. For example, placing a mirror above a fireplace mantel may reflect the unattractive tops of furniture or blank wall space. You can angle the mirror down so that it reflects something more attractive in the room.

In addition, place mirrors so they will not cause unnecessary glare in a room. Mirrors can be unappealing if they are placed across from a window with a southern or western exposure.

As you can see, there are numerous ways to use mirrors to brighten and enrich your home decor. Decorative mirrors can be found in flea markets, retail stores, home improvement stores, and on the internet in price ranges to fit all budgets.

The demand for bamboo for use in decorating as well as in other areas is on the increase these days, as more and more people turn to ways in which we can be more environmentally friendly.

Bamboo is among the most eco friendly materials that can be used in home decor. It is the world’s fastest growing plant, making it very quick to replace once harvested and at the same time producing more oxygen and biomass than hardwood trees. It is also helpful in reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and therefore is beneficial for global warming. Its wide spreading canopy and root system feeds the topsoil with its dense litter thus helping conserve water and preventing soil erosion even in degraded land.

There are many ways we can use bamboo these days, including building materials, eating vessels such as bowls, for clothing and even as a food source. It is also very decorative, and can be used in a variety of ways around the home.

Bamboo furniture has been used for a long time, especially in sunrooms and conservatories. But you can use it anywhere in the house you like because it is lightweight, long-lasting and attractive. A bamboo headboard can make an excellent accessory for your bed. You can add to this entire effect with a bamboo framed mirror to match

Bamboo can be made into decorative features, simply by placing a few sticks artistically in a large vase or behind the sofa. In a child’s room or games room, you could even make a huge tic-tac-toe game on the floor using bamboo sticks.

If you don’t want to replace your furniture or go to the expense of buying new items or the bother of building your own, you could just buy some bamboo and attach it to existing pieces of furniture. It’s a great way to make a laundry hamper or cabinet door look more attractive, for only a small expense.

You can use bamboo on your floors as well. You can find several different types of bamboo area rugs on the market these days. In addition to coming in a variety of different sizes, styles and textures you can even find bamboo area rugs in a rainbow of colors. With such a vast choice available, you should definitely be able to find one that suits your deco and your existing flooring as well as the space you want to cover.

Bamboo rugs are great for high traffic areas in the house because they are so hard wearing. Also, since bamboo is naturally fire resistant, they are safe anywhere in the house, and these rugs are also an excellent choice for an outdoor area. Make sure that the rug you choose has a non-slip backing.

Bamboo room dividers, or screens, can be very attractive as well as useful, since you can use them to divide the room into two separate spaces. There are lots of these with attractive designs, to add a tropical touch to your decor. A bamboo area rug placed on the floor can tie in all your bamboo design elements for a room that looks well put together.
