Bold Color!


One of the simplest ways to renovate and transform an interior space is with the use of color. Bold styles and flashy prints easily express personality and creativity. Good design is about combining successful compositions, making them visually attractive. When using color, you are looking to create this aesthetically pleasing palette through a combination of bold colors, furnishings, and accessories that accentuate the "feel" that you desire to have throughout the space. Bold wall colors make strong statements and can reflect dynamic personalities. Color can be used to highlight a feature wall or to incorporate trendy hues and prints in textiles. BE BOLD, use color!

Let's talk headboards.

A custom upholstered headboard is so eye catching it is involuntarily the focal point of your room. Let’s face it; your bedroom is where you spend a great deal of your time. It’s a room that you want to make yours; make it feel personalized to your desires. Unlike a traditional headboard, a custom upholstered headboard is very comfortable, soft to the touch, and can be made just how you like. Choosing the right headboard creates a finished look for your bedroom that may remain for many years to come or, at the very least, until you are ready to remodel your entire bedroom.

PICK ME!!

Deciding on a type of window treatment can be frustrating and discouraging at times. When making your decision, consider its importance or purpose. Is this treatment strictly for appearance? Does it need to filter out sunlight or is it for privacy? Is it being used to introduce color? Answering these questions will eliminate the wide selection of treatments you had to choose from in the beginning. Of course, you could answer yes to more than one of these. If you want to filter out light while adding color, panels or a roman shade with a bold fabric would be a choice for you. If you want something a little simpler, a valance or cornice can be added to help give your room a warm, welcoming and appealing look.

What about Trim & Fringe??



Trim and fringe tend to be neglected when decorating a room. Don’t let this happen! Choosing the perfect fringe to add to your curtains or pillows could be just what you needed to pull all the colors in your room together. Add an elegant fringe and achieve your goal of a luxurious look for your dining room. On the contrary, picking a less dramatic fringe to coordinate with a bold pattern can help tone it down. Trim and fringe is a subtle way to tie it all together, and carry color from room to room.

"Weight" for me


When choosing a fabric for your room, consider weight; it will have a great impact on your decision. Lightweight fabrics, such as sheers, are rather delicate and wouldn't be recommended in a room where there would be a lot of “wear and tear.” This type of fabric will give a softer, airy ambiance to your room. Medium-weight fabrics are ideal to work with. They are strong enough to withstand tension, but light enough to gather or drape. This weight of fabric is very versatile and can be used for slip covers, bed spreads, panels, or table cloths; making your decorating dreams almost effortless. Heavyweight fabrics are perfect when creating an ostentatious room. They can be used as drapes or upholstery depending on your preference. Heavyweights are rich and lush fabrics that will give your room the luxuriant touch it needs.
