Exotic Decorating Has Staying Power

Just like a fine quality spice in your favorite food dish, a little Exotic influence in your decor goes a long way.  Exotic is one of the 7 Styles we feature on My Design Secrets and it can be incorporated into virtually any other style.  It features fresh colors and striking designs from faraway places including locales such as Asia, the Middle East, and South America; to name a few.  Today I will run down some Exotic tips that will bring zest to your nest.

  • Modern interiors come to life with vibrant animal-themed artwork.
  • An old leather chair ups its hip factor with a painted Moroccan side table.
  • Light and airy draperies add romance to your bedroom.
  • A colorful lantern makes an indoor or outdoor conversation area warm and cozy.
  • Intricate wood work on a headboard (or room screen hanging above a bed) adds interest and a focal point for the bedroom.

Exotic design comes in many forms; from hand carved and inlaid woodwork to vibrant textiles and unusual accessories.  Introduce a bit in your interiors and I bet you will never turn back.
