When you go to visit someone, chances are good that you immediately notice how their home is decorated, because the decor of our homes say what kind of people we are. Also whether or not we want to admit it, the decoration of our home can show others what kind of personality and character we have, and gives a strong indication about the things we like and dislike.

A good example might be the way our more practical sides show up in the way we design storage space in our kitchens. At the opposite end of the emotional spectrum are individuals who desire nothing more than a restful night after a hard day's work, and it is likely that their lounges will be decorated in warm and neutral colors.

Satin sheets and a red color theme in a bedroom will also give insights into a character, though likely a side that few people will see. When deciding on decor for our home its a good idea to separate public areas from private ones. A family throwing a party, in all likelihood, will attempt to keep certain areas of the house off limits due to their private nature.

Bedrooms, because they are seen only by a few select individuals, are good places to splurge extravagance when decorating. When picking your floor decor, much will depend on how many people travel across your floor daily. Both the quality and color of a floor gives a good insight into what kind of character you have. Busy traffic areas like the hallway or kitchen are great for hard wearing laminates, whereas a soft carpet material such as wool is better for the bedrooms.

Your personality will also be evident in the accessories you select to complement your decor. Lighting can make a big difference to how each room is perceived. A tool that you might want to use is the spotlight, which can either be used to give a nice warm glow, or light areas that truly need it. These tips are easy to apply to the majority of your home.

When you wish to highlight specific items - such as treasures that matter the most to you - spotlights are helpful, as are single light fittings. Mood lighting may fit the needs of a minimalist decorator better, however. Remember, when you are choosing the decor for your dwelling, you are giving a great insight into your mind and character to the outside world, so pick carefully!
