			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.chezmeowmeow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Tips-for-Classic-Style-Home-Decor2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-967" src="http://www.chezmeowmeow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Tips-for-Classic-Style-Home-Decor2-300x250.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="163" /></a>Timeless decor doesn&#8217;t go out of style. These can be accent pieces or serve as the inspiration for your color palette and furniture. Classic decor can still be interesting.</p>
<p>1. Fruit<br />
You can use real fruit or faux fruit in your decor. Try using cranberries in a glass vase as a holiday centerpiece. Pears add natural color to your room. Instead of a classic fruit bowl, modernize the look a little bit with a sleek wood bowl and only one type of fruit.</p>
<p>2. Mirrors<br />
Mirrors are classic pieces. For a timeless look, you can go with a basic round, square or oval shape. The frame should be simple and can coordinate with your light fixtures or wood furniture. Use this in place of artwork to help small rooms feel larger.</p>
<p>3. Candleholders<br />
Candleholders are a staple in home decor but yours can be different. Look for silver tones with oversized silhouettes. You could also have an entire collection instead of the basic set of two.</p>
<p>4. Lamps<br />
A timeless lamp would have a white or black shade. The base can feature basic leaf or circle details. You change up the classic silhouette with a buffet lamp which is tall and narrow. When going with a taller table lamp, it&#8217;s important to make sure that you can still read by the light.</p>
<p>5. Metal Wall Decor<br />
Metal wall decorations can combine several basic accessories. This could be a basket that hangs directly against the wall to hold flowers. You could also add more importance to a welcome sign with an iron material. This will coordinate with any black furniture that you have in the room. Other timeless motifs of this type would include a tree or just scroll work.</p>
<p>6. Area Rugs<br />
If you want an area rug with a lasting style then look for natural motifs. This includes vines and flowers. Damask and Oriental patterns are traditional and elegant. Almost any color palette can be traditional depending on the tone, material and pattern. This means that you can choose a rug that compliments the rest of your decorating colors.</p>
<p>7. Jewelry Boxes &amp; Storage Containers<br />
Jewelry boxes and small chests add in stylish storage. Find heirloom pieces with embossing. Make sure that the wood tone matches the rest of the furniture in your space. Books are a staple in decor and it can also be a secret hiding place. Find a hollowed out faux book with a storage container on the inside for a unique decorative accessory.</p>
<p>8. Canister Sets<br />
You can use canisters in the kitchen to store food and spices. It&#8217;s a basic countertop decoration but there are all different styles. A canister set can have several pots on one wrought iron stand. You could also add shimmer to the room with mother of pearl jars.</p>
<p>9. Sculpture<br />
Sculpture can be an investment piece or just purely decorative. Equestrian statues and globes are lasting silhouettes. You can also invest in a grouping of antique or reproduction finials.</p>

Some of these sofas are convertible and Corner sofas. There are benefits related to having these sofas in your home. The benefits of having convertible sofas include; they utilize the space in the room. Convertible sofa beds perform two functions of sitting and act as a bed at the same time.</p>
<p>They help you manage the space you have and can accommodate more guests and visitors who may need sleeping space. It can be used for relaxing, study, watching TV and sleeping at night. It also helps to transform the décor in your home. They are convenient since they can be transported to any place where you need it to be.</p>
<p>Convertible Sofas are easy to store since you need to deflate them and reduce the space they accommodate in the room. They can be stored safely since they accommodate little space when they are folded and provide maximum comfort. These sofas have a wooden frame and extended legs used to support the mattresses, and cushions that can be folded to support the head. Most sofa beds are available in different designs such as contemporary, classic, and country styles. Sofas now come in a wide range of different materials and colours to suit any room&#8217;s décor. The most luxurious choice is undoubtedly leather since they blend well with other furniture in the home and are durable so they are expected to last longer.</p>
<p>The other unique type of sofa is the corner sofas; these are built with multiple configurations which can be arranged to suit your needs. They have benefits of being longer in size and work well for corners in a room. These corner sofas have become increasingly popular in larger rooms as they can not only fill the open space but can still be situated in the corner of a room without taking over the entire floor space. Many people will purchase corner sofas when they need a lot of seating or perhaps want more space when sat on the couch.</p>
<p>When you have limited space you can decide to remove sections of the sofa. When you get a bigger room you can place the sections you removed back in to position, they are flexible and therefore allow for arrangement in a design that you see fit for your room.</p>
<p>These sectional sofas are easy to move since you can carry the sections and they can enter in a room with ease through doors where you may have had trouble with traditional 2 or 3 seater sofas. You may spend a lot buying them but in the long run you may not incur extra costs adding more corner sofas when you have a large family or many guests.</p>

<p>The spiral staircase has the great virtue of occupying a small space does not occupy more than one square meter, the site will occupy the ladder so you can measure by multiplying the width of the steps.</p>
<p>A spiral staircase would not be the best choice in a classic and very refined, though no doubt when it comes to saving space this is an excellent choice in another type of environment because you can win instead, admits the transition from light through the steps which a fee is more than light in the house itself is very small and this effect did not get with a regular ladder for example.</p>
<p>These are people allow placement in any square or circular hole of any size.</p>
<p>In the choice of material is the most varied of the wood. It is a natural and warm, the wood can combine metal, concrete and stone etc.</p>
<p>A good ladder should combine technical, functionality and creativity in addition to harmonize with the space where it will be installed in either case at the time of decorating is important that the elements combine with each other.</p>

<p>For example have a field of study room and a rest area could help you become more productive in your daily work.</p>
<p>The most classic of separator could be a shoji panel, are very old from China, although it was in Japan where it gained prestige in the emerged many variations with the passage of time, among which there are panels with sliding doors of cedar or translucent paper, these panels can give your floor a refined oriental air, some people believe that convey a sense of peace, because the soft light that passes through the panel.</p>
