How to Decorate Your Home Online

Whether you're hanging a picture or replacing your rec room's '70s vintage orange rug and tacky paneling, sprucing up the house involves decision-making and skill. You can find help decorating your home page on the Web, so why not your home? Living Home, for instance, offers tips on how to hang art, tools to help you estimate how much paint, tile and wallpaper you'll need and forums where you can seek pointers on laying out a room and making the most of the space you have. HomeArts has built a gallery of idea-filled dream homes and a place where House Beautiful editor Peggy Kennedy tackles design dilemmas. Decorating a new home on a limited budget? Peggy suggests you "buy the biggest pieces of furniture first, and the rooms will begin to feel inhabited immediately." Find more advice on slip covers and faux finishes in the decorating forum. If you've "smeared the walls with yogurt so that over time, a natural-looking greenish mold will grow, giving your home the fashionably distressed look of an ancient Greek temple," then you must be an acolyte of domestic goddess Martha Stewart. Martha -- who probably wields a blow torch as deftly as she does a needle -- has made herself at home on the Web at www.marthastewart.com. For more from Martha's world, explore the unofficial Web Guide to Martha Stewart or join other boundlessly creative types at the Craft Corner just after Martha Stewart Living airs on Lifetime TV, Monday to Friday at 12:30pm ET. And if you get discouraged, don't worry -- you can always turn to an interior designer.
