Look at the ceiling inside that area. Cool
If you've been stuck in neutral for too long, a great way to boot yourself into the world of color is with a glossy new lamp — it adds as much pop as a pillow but has staying power.
New art on the walls can do wonders!
Change your table shape. After we live with the same large pieces of furniture for many years, they almost become invisible to us. Try swapping out your dining or kitchen table for one with a different shape — round instead of rectangular or vice versa. In the living room, try using a pair of small square tables instead of one large rectangular one, or a large upholstered ottoman instead of a fussy glass-top table.
Experiment in the stairwell. The poor, neglected stairwell is a great place to play with new decorating ideas. Try papering the wall (with either a print or something textured, like grass cloth), adding cool geometric carpeting or painting the risers in shades of one hue.
Hit on a vibrant hue that makes you happy. Pay attention to your emotional response to color everywhere you go. Did the lush turquoise of the water on your Caribbean vacation make your heart sing? Run with it! Focus on updating one room that has been living in mostly neutral colors up till now and add several healthy doses of your happy hue.
Try a typographic print. Want to bring a fresher, more current vibe to your house? Tag along with the typographic trend and pick up a wordy print or canvas (try searching on Etsy) in a statement-making size. Some artists will customize prints for you, working in favorite quotes or meaningful names and dates. Or you could always pick up some alphabet stencils and paints, and make your own.

Modern and dramatic in Florida. This entryway is all about drama. Houzz users loved the texture of the stone accent wall and the way it contrasts with the sleek stone flooring and glass railing.
Wrapped. After pricing leather-wrapped doors, interior designer Brandi Hagen of Eminent Interior Design saved money by mimicking the look with imitation crocodile. "This faux crocodile pattern is a wall covering, and standard paste was used. The wall covering was ordered to have tiny (unseen) holes that allow for proper ventilation from the walnut substrate through the wall covering; the wall covering is vinyl, which accepts this process," she writes.
Stenciled. A door like this will take a little more sweat equity or a professional; the stenciling is by artist and interior designer Alison Cosmos.

I'm loving this outdoor glass fiber–reinforced concrete cube with moss insets on the top surface. It's would be be great for either indoor or outdoor use, as it's lightweight and the moss needs no upkeep except an occasional misting.

Beige, tan and ivory work great with light and dark shades of wood. Here is Mesa Verde Tan AC-33 by Benjamin Moore. Notice the wood floors are a contrasting color to the trim. The contrast is nice with the trim, while the darker colors are highlighted again in the rug.
Gray is a winner with soft, blonde or weathered wood tones. Here the cabinets under the stairs and tread color are Bedford Gray by Martha Stewart Living, a perfect choice with the weathered wood ceiling.
Greige" is a great neutral with wood trim. The trick is the right shade. Go toward a warmer greige if you have red-toned trim or cabinets, like cherry or mahogany. This one is Benjamin Moore's Pismo Dunes AC-32.

Grat idea to paint the post with rust oleum hammered paint...Covering or relocating the structural elements in a basement is always a design challenge, but Conroy decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. The columns on the right are structural, and the ones on the left are faux. The nonstructural posts are PVC piping covered in a matching hammered-finish Rust-Oleum paint. They add architectural language and a rhythm to the space, and their metal finished look matches the metal ceiling.what a great way to hide the duck work!
LED tape is a flexible circuit board with attached LED chips that can be cut to size. The chips are dots of light spaced approximately every 5/8 inch; they come in different levels of brightness. The strips have a self-adhesive backing, making them easy to install almost anywhere.
White-light LED tape placed under the counter and cabinet in this kitchen creates a glowing silhouette. When considering tape for kitchen and bathroom applications, it's a good idea to go with coated tape. It is more durable where chips are exposed to heat, moisture and food spills. Noncoated tape works best in areas such as inside cabinets where the chips aren’t exposed to damaging elements. The cost of a decent-quality LED tape is about $8 to $10 per foot plus the cost of a driver to power it, which starts at $150.
