If we look at what your curtains say about you, you might be surprised at how much can be told from the fabric you have hanging at your windows. (And it may just make you pay more attention when you choose window curtains in future).

For example, if you have just not got around to getting curtains at all you might be seen as someone who does not care about appearances (or, more worryingly, as someone who is too bone idle or poverty stricken to go out and buy window curtains!)

If you have played it safe with very simple neutral curtains you may be seen as someone who is calm and unruffled (or someone who is too timid to show their true personality). Only you can decide which one you are and whether you want to change your curtain choices as a result.

If your curtains are dusty or otherwise grubby, then that says a lot about your standards of hygiene and to present your best face to the world, you need to get your curtains cleaned or replaced pretty quickly unless you want the world to think the worst of you.

There is no one right set of curtains however, in the same way that there is not a perfect personality. There is only a perfect set of curtains for the room you are decorating which match the style of the room, the style of your home and your own personal taste. If you pay attention to all three however and don’t just pick up the first set of curtains that “will do” because the price is right then you will get on a lot better than the majority of folks buying curtains.

Stickers are different from decals because they often leave a mess or damage paint if taken off their initial surface because the adhesive on them is very strong (as they are meant to be permanent). Wall decals won’t damage your paint as long as the paint itself is of average quality.

Vinyl decals and wall quotes are popular home decoration items and exist in an endless variety of models that will fit in any room of the house. They may be placed within a child’s bedroom in the form of a favourite cartoon character, for example, or even as a quote that provides an educational message. If the decal no longer pertains to that child’s tastes, the vinyl material can simply be peeled away and stored for later use. Add them to the walls of your bedroom, living room and dining room to create a personalized ambience.

If you do not find what you need in vinyl decal catalogues and websites, simply submit your own custom design to have it made into a decal that you can add to your existing room décor afterwards.

These decorations can also be used in schools and even buses. Many colleges use decals to mark rooms that lie in large buildings, providing new students with a sense of direction. Large and small businesses produce their own designs and logos, which can be made into a vinyl decal. Vinyl is used by sports teams that place logos and decals on helmets and other equipments.

The Romans had the right idea with their mosaic tiles. The mosaic floors looked beautiful, were extremely hard wearing and yet they could be easily cleaned. Other ancient civilizations used marble which was equally effective and looked especially majestic in public buildings with wall to wall marble. These days you can buy marble flooring material for halls in the form of tiles but it is very expensive and only for you if you have a large budget. This makes it more likely to be found in top public buildings and corporate headquarters than the average home.

Other effective flooring materials for halls are wood and laminate wood flooring with laminate having the edge as it is more resistant to the water which might be brought in from shoes and wet umbrellas. Quality laminate (which would be required to give a hard wearing surface) and solid hardwood are not cheap when it comes to flooring either however so these may be beyond a limited budget too.

There is one solution to flooring you hall which does not cost the earth.

If you are looking for cheap flooring for your hall which is also attractive take a look at vinyl tiles. If you lay alternate black and white tiles in a checkerboard pattern you will have a very attractive floor which is hard wearing and easy to keep clean. Alternatively use vinyl tiles all in one color and then brighten up your floor with an entrance runner or mat.
