Common Styles of Interior Decorating

The Mediterranean style of decoration is very old and people have been adapting it for a very long time. Because of this it is available very easily. The Italian style is the most copied one.

The Moroccan is the latest in fashion as far as decorations are concerned. This style is mysterious and charming and magical in the true sense. Then there is the Tropical style, Swedish and the African style and also the Asian style

Other influences are drawn from the colors that are coordinated in the decorations and some of
them are blacks and whites. Then there is the Rustic and the contemporary styles and the casual style of decorating. Next is the influence from the Vintage styles and the Retro style of decorating your home.

The Arawak, Carib, and Taino Indians were the first inhabitants of
the Caribbean islands. These first inhabitants occupied the present day
islands of British Virgin Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti,
Trinidad, and Jamaica. Their daily diet consisted of vegetables and
fruits such as papaw, yams, guavas, and cassava. The Taino started the
process of cooking meat and fish in large clay pots.

The Arawaks
are the first people known to make a grate of thin green wood strips on
which they slowly cooked meat, allowing it to be enhanced by the flavor
of the wood. This grate was called a barbacoa, and the word we know
today as barbeque is taken from this early Indian cooking method.

The
Carib Indians added more spice to their food with hot pepper sauces,
and also added lemon and lime juice to their meat and fish recipes. The
Caribs are said to have made the first pepper pot stew. No recipes exist
since every time the Indians made the dish, they would always add new
ingredients. The Carib had a big impact on early Caribbean history, and
the Caribbean sea was named after this tribe.

Then the Caribbean
became a crossroads for the world . . .
