Basic Rules for Decorating Your Home | December 9, 2011

Basic Rules for Decorating Your Home

Decorating your apartment is never an easy thing to do. There are so many aspects to take into account (like the size, the number of people living there, whether it’s a rental, etc.), and there are too many things that can go wrong… But it’s also an amazing opportunity for you to express your own personal style, taste and aesthetics. Decorating your home is a continuous process that never ends. You can’t pull a room together in one day, nor you can find all you need in one quick trip to Ikea.

But there’s no need to be afraid of it. … Read More »

How to decorate in fall colors | November 14, 2011

How to decorate in fall colors

I’ve always loved the idea of seasonal home decorating. It can make season shifting much more enjoyable, and it makes you seek out the best in each and every time of the year. The nature represents an unlimited source of inspiration, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of everything it has to offer. This being said, there’s so much more to fall decorating that pumpkins and spooky Halloween accessories! Fall’s color palette composed of spicy oranges, rich yellows, rustic reds, forest greens and chocolate browns presents countless opportunities when it comes to home decor. All these … Read More »

How to Bring Glamour to Your Home | November 8, 2011

How to Bring Glamour to Your Home

When I hear people talking about glamour, I always think of old Hollywood, circa 1940′s and 1950′s. And this applies equally in fashion and in home decor. There’s something so special about this bold and intriguing style, with all its rich details, crystal accessories, upholstered sofas and mirrored furniture.

Glamour is characterized by intricate textures, luxe fabrics and all that shimmer and sparkle. Color palette is quite simple: white or beige backdrop, accessorized with soft touches of black, silver, gold and pastels. Then again, too much glamour can kill the glamour, so use it with caution and light hand, especially in … Read More »

Excuses, Excuses. What’s Holding You Back From Your Dream Home?

Over the years I’ve realized that making a room look attractive requires much more than just knowing which chair to put where. There is a significant amount of psychology that goes into great design and any decorator worth her fee knows how to combat her clients’ fears and misconceptions, helping them overcome whatever is holding them back so that they get the room they really want. Today I would like to cover a few of the most popular fears or misconceptions that may be keeping you from hiring a professional decorator to finally achieve the design you deserve.

1. Decorators are too expensive. I … Read More »

New Flavored Crystal Lite! | February 7, 2011

New Flavored Crystal Lite!

I’m not sure which I like best, the reclaimed wood mirror, the salvaged wood console or this cool table lamp chandelier. Luckily, I don’t have to choose and neither do you. Now you can have it all.

This mirror is big and it’s made from reclaimed wood, actually old boat wood. It shows the wear and tear of the high seas and that makes it all the better. Weighing in at almost 200 pounds, this wood mirror can handle a big wall and a big space. And so can this console. Also made from salvaged wood, this console is … Read More »
