Does anyone know great websites that have contemporary interior design tips like Extreme Home Makeover? I am looking for a website that has a lot of "how to" tips on how to decorate the interior of homes. Lots of pictures of rooms, paint color options that look good together, etc. On the line of design... such as that of Pottery Barn or like that of how they design on the show Extreme Home Makeovers. I am sick of looking at white walls. I like contemporary, unique and cozy. We are a young couple, so we would like our home to look cool. I live in a small town, so the closest store for decorating is Walmart. I need something that will help me add style and coordinate. Otherwise I buy a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't make a whole lot of sense and I can never come up with any colors I like, that I won't want to change! Please help!

Which home-study interior decorating/design should I choose? I'm interested in taking a home-study (preferably an online or web based) course in interior decorating or design and I've narrowed it down to three but I don't know which one to pick! one is offered by Penn Foster (www.pennfoster.edu/decorator/index.html), one by PCDI (www.pcdi.com/courses/hh/index.html) and the other one by Sheffield School of Interior design (www.shefield.edu). They are very similar and I'm trying to get a course that would actually teach me something about decorating and I'm afraid that I'll pay the money and end up with a gimmiky heap of rubbish!! I'm not very much concerned with accreditation as I live outside the US and I don't think I'll be looking for a job there as a decorator. I want a course that would be informative, fun and challanging while teaching me some worthwhile principles of interior decorating/design. If anyone has any idea about these courses, I would love to hear thier feedback on this.

computer 3D home design / interior design? I want to design some interiors using a 3D package for the pc. I have tried several home design programmes but I find these very limited for what I want to acheive, The choice of furniture and appliances are limited and the renders are poor. I would like a programme that allows me to design unique peices of furniture and finish with quality renders, textures and lighting effects. Programmes I have considered are turbocad 11 and 3D max but these look complicated I am a complete begineer with this sort of programme and wouldn't have a clue where to start. Can anyone recommend any programmes that will help me acheive what I want that would be fairly easy for a novice to pick up and preferably one with a printed manual rather than an online manual.

Looking for Web Sites to Assist/Inspire with Home Interior Design? After nearly 29 years of marriage, I am finally divorcing and striking out on my own. That is a tale onto itself. At any rate, I be buying a home (detached single family) in the very near future in the metropolitan Washington DC area. While I may ultimately hire an interior designer, I would prefer to explore the possibilities of style and color. So, I would appreciate recommendations for websites that present a variety of styles, and ideally allow manipulation of furniture, rugs, accessories, and of course color. I want to avoid the "bachelor pad" look but am not looking for something too fancy or contrived. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Would you buy a customised computer case that fits in with your home interior design? This is for my A-level business studies research. If you don't mind please put a yes or a no, and your age and gender. The basic concept is producing custom built computer cases to fit YOUR interior design. The case is the bit that houses the internal components of the computer. So not necessarily something geeky and pimped out, perhaps to blend nicely with your furniture. The business aims to produce high quality, stylish cases, something apple mac seems to have captured pretty well. Don't need to take price or nething into considoration, just simply if you like the idea or not. Thanks
