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.

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.
