What is the most inviting color for a room? I know this is partially personal preference, but we have a "room" in an antique/coop mall which is now a worn white, we can paint it as long as the color is fairly neutral. I think there is research about colors and moods, such as red in a dining room, it makes you hungary. What is warm and inviting that will help people to enter and "shop" in our "room"? ...

home decor advice? My husband hates floral prints and any sort of floral decoration. I'm so sick of stripes, plaid and squares. Our house is a blank canvas other than the square themed area rugs (none of them match) and our stripe shower curtain. We have a black leather couch that we're still paying for...so have to keep it. I want our home to feel inviting and put together...like a model home. But his taste is horrible. I make only $8/hour and he makes $30/hour. His attitude is that since he makes more...what he says..."goes". ugh. ... (Asked by 30yearold)

You need to go to stores like Home Goods and Marshalls. They have so much stuff and the prices are second to none. You can really find original pieces there too. You have to find what style calls your name, I love Tuscan. My husband isnt into the floral either. This style is old world, but not "girlie". There is Asian, Moroccan, modern, - you can always go modern with a few pieces from another style and make it eclectic....(Answered by julie j)

It depends on the style of your decorating and the color of the room. If it is a red or deep color, I would say Oak or Cherry Wood, but if you have an asian inspired home, definetely cherry wood. If your more of the country clutter look, use a rich oak or pine. Keep in mind, you an always stain something to make it darker if it is a natural wood....(Answered by honoluluhoney13)

A.
The terra cotta tiles have more to do with the available raw material for roofing. Years ago before man-made materials like asphalt shingles, roofing materials were made from local material. Terra cotta is was made from clay mixtures and baked in the sun outside originally. The design was easy. As time went on they learned to bake them in ovens, (in ground ovens, like the indians). Terra cotta is still a cheap and long lasting material in many countries. You need asphalt plants for making the typical roofing shingle. You'll find these plants few and ...(Answered by tillerman58)
