What Are Your Home Design Elements?

I've been watching design/organization shows on HGTV all afternoon while rearranging my living room in an attempt to figure out where to put my Christmas tree...and I thought of this question:

Q:

You just won a makeover on one of those HGTV design shows...the designer asks you what your favorite design elements/inspirations/colors are...what are your answers?

A:

- African/Asian inspired

- Bamboo

- Natural Elements

- Animal print (in tasteful doses)

- Colors depend on the room

Of course, my living room already has all these elements. It's my bedroom that's due for a makeover...at least paint-wise. I have a red & black Asian feel envisioned for it.

This is when we first re-did it...the couch and chairs are flipped now, the two spherical paper lanterns are now in the bedroom, and the bamboo plant is in a different spot. We like to re-arrange things occasionally.

And for those who are curious...yes, that is Monsters Inc. on the TV.
