Light Up Your Life This Winter

Illuminate Your Décor with Effective Lighting

Lighting is one of the most important elements in making your home environment function effectively and look beautiful. Sometimes lighting works best when you don't even notice it, and other times it's the focal point in a room. Selecting the best lighting is part science and part fashion.

New lighting can completely change the look of a room, and lighting strategies are quite different for kitchens, foyers, home offices and living rooms. Lighting can work to set a romantic mood, provide a spotlight in a specific area, or furnish an overall wash of brightness.

There are so many lighting elements to choose among: floor lamps, table lamps, chandeliers, sconces, recessed lighting, even candles and lampshades. It's often optimal to include several lighting sources in a room, and all should work together in a layered way to enhance the mood and maximize functionality.

Think about updating your lighting to add beauty and function to your home.


Think Pink for Winter Decorating

Update Your Home with a Touch of Pink

Pink is not just for Valentines Day - although that special day is coming sooner than you think. Pink is a fabulous color for interior design all year long because most shades of pink make people's complexions look rosy, healthy and young.

Magenta, dusty rose, bubble gum, shrimp bisque, and even darker shades of fuschia and cranberry. Pink comes in so many choices that it can provide almost any look and feel. Pink can be feminine and romantic, refreshing and playful, or bold and bright depending on the shade you choose and how much pink you add to your décor.

Color experts say that pink has a calming effect. It's associated with love and tenderness, and is a healing color. Pink goes well with gray, black and white, shades of green, and gold or silver. It's perfect for upholstered furniture, bedding, rugs, wall paint, window fashions, artwork and more.

Get in the pink this winter. Add this beautiful shade to your home environment.

Winter Decorating
To-Do List

  • Add candles to your lighting plan for extra illumination and a romantic touch.
  • Display beautiful bulb flowers, like tulips, paper whites and hyacinths, to bring the colors and smell of spring into your winter home.
  • As a quick pick-me-up, replace lampshades on your existing lamps.
  • Buy energy efficient window fashions that will keep your home warmer in winter, saving on your energy bills - and cooler in summer too!
  • Think soft and cozy for fabrics, bedding and upholstery - cashmere, velvet, flannel.
  • Go online to a gardening website and purchase items to get your garden ready for spring - bulbs, seeds, garden tools or outdoor furniture.
