Accessories You Need to Have for 2011

Are you getting ready for the home décor fashions in 2011? If your home needs to be revamped a bit here are some DIY home décor ideas for 2011.

If you are looking to create more space in your closet for your clothes, shoes and jewelry, there are some great space-makers that are easy to make or build to achieve this. A jewelry box or an armoire are perfect options to keep your jewelry in a safe place. It is also a nice décor option for your room, instead of throwing them on the dresser. Other home décor trends this year include eco-friendly appliances and creating spaces that allow more natural sunlight.

Pink is a trendy color for 2011. Since it is a trend, you may want to incorporate the color in more subtle doses. For example, accent pillows for your bed or sofa, or an accent wall in your bedroom, which can be repainted later. Modern chandeliers are another trend this year, in unexpected colors like white, adorned with embellishments like diamonds, and with contemporary metals like stainless steel and brass. Neutral colors, specifically grays and browns are popular colors for furniture and area rugs. Vintage prints like floral are also popping up on accent pillows, comforters and wallpaper.

Remember to add a touch of masculinity to your home, especially if you have a man in the house. They aren’t going to want to walk into an ultra-feminine space every day. If you are aiming for softer colors, neutralize it with more neutral tones like grays, browns and black to balance it out. Purple is a unisex color—it is warm and inviting. Choose a darker hue so it can be a color you both can enjoy, and feel comfortable in. The menswear-inspired trend has been huge for a while now, and is now influencing home décor trends.
