Affordable venues for parties, receptions or proms need a few special touches. A tulle wall drop provides romance while it conceals the less-attractive features of a school gym, church social hall or hotel meeting room. Over-the-door wreath hangers and curtain tiebacks prevent damage to the walls and ceiling while keeping the tulle far enough off the floor to prevent anyone from accidentally pulling it from the walls. Add strands of twinkle lights and you create instant fairy-tale magic. Does this Spark an idea?

Decorate a Wall With Fishnet and Shells
Hanging a fishnet from your wall is an attractive way to give the room a nautical or tropical look; handing seashells from the netting adds to the nautical appeal. This look is particularly effective if you hang or paint a mural of an ocean or lake scene on the wall before adding the fishnet and seashells. Other options include painting the walls an ocean blue shade before adding the decor or hanging an inexpensive poster depicting a seascape. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate Walls With Brick or Rock
Decorating an interior brick or rock wall can be challenging. Unlike with typical walls constructed of drywall, you can't simply hang a picture and call it a day. With a little creativity, however, you can use that brick or rock wall to your advantage. Since brick and stone are fire retardant materials, consider hanging a sculptural candle holder.

Contrast Colors for Interior Decorating
Avoid boring rooms by creating interest with contrasting colors. On the color wheel, contrasting colors are opposite from one another and while it doesn't seem like these colors would go well together, they can. In fact, when you choose the right contrasting colors, your rooms have energy and balance. Once you understand how to use the colors together, it's easy. All you need is a color wheel and a general idea of the colors you want to use. Does this Spark an idea?
