Grouping together items that have something in common and things that we love is a great way to decorate...... theme rooms are a way of "over-decorating." I always felt theme rooms were strictly for kids bedrooms and family/recreation rooms and way to restricting. I am much more comfortable in a room that is themed "me."

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Seriously, you are doing the right thing by collecting the things you love and tastefully arranging them. I hate houses in new developments that look all the same, and they're all decorated the same from catalog stuff because the owners have no imagination. My favorite houses of my friends to visit are the ones that are proud to have their collected beach glass in a glass on the windowsill, and family photos, and a piece of family-inherited furniture that doesn't quite match the other stuff. That kind of house is much more welcoming, trust me. Good luck. My decorating theme for my whole house is: Early American Yard Sale.

Different things -- even different styles can be brought together by a color scheme, textures, materials, and the way they are arranged in the room -- can really show an eclectic, unique flair that's not "catalog" or showroom looking.

Themes are not necessary and often come across as tacky, actually. Nothing is wrong with collecting things you love and tastefully arranging them. Just try not to overdo it with thing because then your rooms will look cluttered. It's your house - do what you want :) NO! Themes are not necessary and often come across as tacky, actually.
