If you're redecorating, it's always a good idea to have a theme or basic idea around which to base your colours, patterns, designs and accessories.
Thinking about the overall effect of your room before you begin means you'll end up with a well-constructed, homely room that will look exactly the way you want it to.
Heart home accessories are the perfect place to start, particularly if you love the simple yet chic designs that come with the heart motif.
Symbolising many things, a heart gives you a central focal point for your room, and you can use its lines and associated colours to create a fabulous room.
Think about: Shape - you don't have to use the whole heart shape to get a great effect.
Beautiful curves on your sofa help to soften the furniture and flowers on upholstery or curtains can bring your heart shape to mind.
You can have too much of a good thing, so use your heart theme carefully for a perfect finish.
Colour - hearts are usually associate with love, and therefore also with colours like red and pink.
You can use your favourite shades of these colours to highlight your room and add accents, or you can choose to be completely different by taking heart home accessories and ideas and using them in sophisticated neutral colours, giving a great shabby chic effect.
Fittings - be creative with your lighting, accessories and finishing touches.
Don't overdo it, but do look for ways to tie your theme together.
For example, as well as heart home accessories, you can find a wide range of other love or home-related items which you can mix and match with your heart shapes to great overall effect.
Oversized letters that spell out "Love", or "Home" are good examples of this, as are styled photograph frames and tea light holders.
If a heart-themed room takes your fancy, look for suppliers of heart home accessories who can help to inspire you to create a wonderful home.
