Each person's fingerprints are different. Fingerprints are often used as identification and as a way to solve crimes. Put your fingerprints to more creative use than matching criminals with crimes -- transform them into works of art to hang on your wall. Frame your child's fingerprints in his room, or create an entry hall art piece to spark conversation.
Decorate Walls With Drapes
Decorating your walls with drapes not only brings color and texture to them, but it also helps hide flaws or cover walls when you're not allowed to paint them. There are many ways you can use curtains to decorate. The method you choose will depend on what visual motif and materials you use. It can also be influenced by the decorating constraints placed on your living situation, as in the case of a rented apartment. Limit your efforts to just the walls or extend the idea so it includes all the wall structures in your space, including false ones. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate a Wall With a Large Screen TV
Large-screen TVs pose an especially difficult design challenge, simply because of their large size. When placing a large-screen TV into a room, it immediately becomes the focal point. However, a wall-mounted TV can look out of place if it is not balanced with placement of the remaining furniture. It is important to use specific pieces around the TV in order to balance out this large size. By using one large piece and a variety of smaller pieces to decorate the wall with the large-screen TV, you can provide balance, without distracting from the TV. Does this Spark an idea?
Make Large Decorative Hanging Plates
Your redecorating is nearly complete. What would make it even perfect are some of the large (and expensive) decorative plates similar to those in the country inn that gave you so many great ideas for your new decor. To create a similar look at a fraction of the cost, make your own plates. They may only be decorative or suitable for an arrangement of artificial fruit, flowers or holiday ornaments on a special occasion. They will also work perfectly as hanging wall decor.

Decorate Around Wood Stoves
Wood stoves aren't found in most modern homes. While used to heat homes before the dawn of electric and gas furnaces, wood stoves are still featured in many older homes. Though they may not be used anymore as a primary heating or cooking source, they add an old fashioned design element to the room. Tie into this design when you decorate around the wood stove. Consider the rest of the room when working with décor so the wood stove design matches the overall look and feel of the room. Does this Spark an idea?
