It is often easier to decorate around the house; there exist some amount of spontaneity inspiring you to plunge into your own styling. When it comes to wall color schemes, things turn the other way. For amateurs and enthusiasts and homemakers too, this field appears a bit risky, with lots to lose— time, money, and efforts to start with, not to mention the redoing it requires.

You don’t need to feel overwhelmed with the ordeal. To plan and co-ordinate color scheme for every room in the home, you can take one step at a time. Assess each room individually and make notes as to the amount of natural light it receives, the kind of lighting you have used and the color that will best compliment the natural architectural features of your home. It’s easy to estimate these details, if you have lived in the house for some time.

Before you decide, take a closer look at the existing carpeting, flooring and woodwork and it will allow you to make a safe choice. On an average, color scheme on the walls will helps you to determine the harmony between colors to be used throughout the décor. Color wheels are often used to determine the complimentary colors; you can do the accents furnishings (rugs, lamps, paintings) and furniture in the complimentary colors. Some common schemes for selecting the best color for a space,

• Monochromatic Color Scheme: The most common one, it uses a single color in different shades, tints, values, textures and hues to bring the harmony and flow, a sense of uniformity to a place.
• Analogous scheme: This one uses adjacent colors on the color wheel, allowing you many possibilities within the warm or cool color category. Plan the colors diligently, for it is important for the colors to come out as a great combo. 
• A complementary scheme: Here, one can use the colors opposite each other on the color wheel, again a difficult task as the balance of colors will take some careful thinking. Considered bold and modern.
• Triadic Color Scheme: This one uses three hues. Each is placed consecutively or at equal distances from each other. For example, yellow, green and red, this scheming uses their tones, shades and scales in three hues placed at equal distances from each other.On studying the color wheel and looking up different color scheming, get a practical view and start planning. Here are a few steps for your consideration,
• When you have decided on the color palette for a room, start with the lighter shades for walls, medium for furniture and windows (or contrasts), doors etc. If you don’t want to change the furniture, work around a wall color that is a shade lighter in the same order. Accessories may look great in the darkest of shade on your color card.
• Lighter shades like cream, whites, lemon, Ivory can make a big difference in making a space look larger. You can use a lighter shade as the base or neutral color; play with contrast and bolder shades for rest of the décor. 
• You need to have ‘eye resting point’ where all the colors break even. Nothing big or too loud, a great complimentary colored vase or bowl or art piece or painting that highlights the accents, and harmonizes the interiors in a balancing art. 
• Usually, people use boldest of colors on fabrics like cushions, curtains and mats. You can use harmonize fabrics by using colors as accent fabrics on chairs, decorative pillows, tablecloths and mats.
• Repeat each colors in an equal proportion throughout the room, and in at least 3-4 places. The best color ratio: Divide color use to approximately 60% of the room in the background (lightest) color, 30% in the mid-tone color, and 10% in the brightest, accent colors.

Play within the color rules, but when it comes to creativity, don’t overlook your own power. You can do wonders with pieces and bits within the arena and create a space that reflects your taste, your individuality.

Granite is an igneous rock that is manufactured inside the earth crust under high pressure and temperature. Initially, the rock lies deep inside the earth surface but eventually it gets transported to locations above the ground surface due to plate tectonics. Hence, the material is available in bulk near the ground surface.

The granite tile is made up of quartz and feldspar. If you take a close look at its surface, then you can find some pink, white and black crystals on its surface. These small crystals add on to the beauty of this natural stone. Hence, these tiles have become a popular building material for household and commercial applications.

The granite tiles have several positive aspects that make them all the more suitable for kitchen and bathroom decorations. Firstly, the rock is very hard and highly durable which make it ideal for places that are prone to high temperature and pressure. Hence, they can withstand high foot traffic witnessed by the kitchens and bathrooms.

Moreover, these tiles have low maintenance cost due to their non-abrasive nature. They have high resistance against stains and dirt; hence they are an ideal tiling material for your kitchen walls and slabs. Therefore, it will be highly convenient for you to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in your bathrooms and kitchen. Moreover, these tiles are slip resistant; hence there’ll be lesser probability of fatal accidents due to slippery surface.

And last but not the least; no one can ignore the beauty and texture of the granite tiles. This natural stone has some spell bounding colors and designs that can bring a refreshing change to your home. However, you must be highly cautious while installing them, since a minor negligence can hamper the life span of your granite tiles.

So, purchase them from a local dealer that sells building materials or an online dealer in order to revamp the look of your kitchens and bathrooms.

Halloween is a fun and adventurous time of year and what better way to celebrate it than planning a party? So where should we begin? More than any other aspects of the party, Halloween decorations and party supplies make the themed party pop. You will have to consider what sort of party you are planning and what guests will attend before you start however. Party supplies for each of these groups would consist of disposable plates, silverware, napkins and themed gift bags for any goodies you might want to pass out. Costume parties can work for each of these groups as well.

Small Children: For small children you will want to keep spooky party supplies to a minimum and stick to lighter fair with a cute tone. This means Halloween decorations that have been softened from their normally ghoulish tone to better suit the more delicate demeanor of smaller children. You can use jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, spiders, and witches as long as they seem friendly. This is also the right kind of party for themed cakes, snacks and punch that is easily managed. You may want to gather together a few adults and have the children go around the room getting different treats from each person, giving them a controlled trick or treat. Encourage the children to wear costumes and you could also have a little costume contest with prizes if there are enough children.

Older Children and Family Parties: For a group that contains children age 10 up to about 12 or 13 you can use more spooky party supplies. You’ll want to find a theme somewhere between that of the younger children and the teens. Kids this age like a good scare as long as it’s not too extreme so you could have a few spooky Halloween decorations along with games and a haunted house. Kids this age would also be interested in themed foods but might be more inclined to items that are a bit more gruesome or gooey. Serving chocolate pudding with gummy worms mixed in or sponge cakes with raspberry filling (dressing the cakes up as if they are bugs could add to the fun) might appeal.

Adults and Teens: For adults and teens your Halloween decorations could be subtle like crepe paper and banners or it could be much more grown up items like gruesome body parts or flirty ghouls. This is the party that can involve music, dancing, liquor (for the grown-ups) and bigger scares. Teens can be a hard bunch to work with, they’re often a bit fussy about being too kiddy so offering them a chance to help do the planning is your best bet. Party supplies can include some good music, horror films, snacks and pizza if they’d rather have a smaller more relaxed affair. For adults the party can go as big as you’d like, offering simple fair like chips, hors de oeuvres and sweets for the guests to nibble on over the course of the night. Halloween decorations can be scattered around the house and the outside, offering a fun evening to all.

I have these christmas decorations, made of wood and painted with snowmen, santa’s, etc that have mildew on them (from being stored in the basement). I know it’s a horrible place to store them but I was not here when it happened. Anyone know anything that might work on them without ruining the paint?? Any help would be appreciated.
