LIGHTING PLACEMENT...ONE LAMP OR TWO?

In a previous blog that discussed the mood lamps create in a room, we didn't get into the discussion of where you should place these mood provoking objects.  When I am designing a room, I make sure we create light diagonally across the room.  On one side of the room, you could place a table lamp on a stylish side table and place the matching floor lamp diagonally on the opposite side of the room. 

Take a look at these hot pieces found on http://www.pinkdoordecor.com/. Both sets of lamps provide a feng shui element to any room...water and metal.  We will discuss elements in a room in upcoming blogs.

                       

Until we blog again, have fun changing the light placement in your living space.

WHO SAYS PICTURES MUST BE HUNG ON A WALL?

There are many ways we can display wall hangings.  Limiting your displays to just the walls can become monotonous. Why not utilize the center window molding to hang a picture? This effect gives you a sense of bringing the outside into a room.  You also create a floating effect with your hanging.  I have a clock and a picture hanging from the window frame in my office.  Everyone who enters my office ask, " How did you hang that picture?" This has surely created interesting conversation.  Just a word of advice when you try this technique.  You must mount the top and bottom of the hanging to create stability.

Another place I found interesting to display art is in a non-functioning fireplace.  Yes, a fireplace!  During summer months, people place candles in the fireplace.  Why not art?

The pictures below will definitely make you feel like you are bringing the outside into a room. Give it a try.  The next time you want to hang a piece of art, try the center molding of your window.

 You can find these beautiful hangings on the website of www.pinkdoordecor.com

Beautiful from the inside out

Have you ever awoke with crisp white linen sheets wrapped around you?  The windows opened just a crack to let in a soft breeze and a peek of sunshine.  All around you are delicate objects that have been placed purposefully on tables and on the walls hang photos framed in works of art.  You especially love the way the wall mirror adds space and dimension to your room.  You look around and think to yourself, "I don't want to leave this room."  If you have then you know just how wonderful a beautifully accessorized home can make you feel.

Well it just so happens that I'm in the business of helping people accessorize their homes and making their homes beautiful from the inside out.  Accessorizing is important because it gives it that finishing touch and fills the voids throughout.  By adding small touches you can create a beautiful room filled with conversation pieces.  (We'll talk more about what a conversation piece is in my next blog.)  Adding a vase with flowers to your accent table can brighten up a drab corner and give it life.  Decorative bookends help organize and keep your library of books in order while adding a bit of character to the shelf.  the bottom line is when it comes to your home the most important thing is that you love it and are comfortable in it. Take the time and make it beautiful from the inside out.

Warm Regards,

Effortless Transformations

 It doesn't take a lot to transform a boring and uninviting room into a room with warmth and style.  It could be as simple as changing out throw pillows to add more color or swapping out old lamps for newer more stylish ones.  You can replace old window treatments or add a large wall mirror to give a room a more open look.   Think about all the clutter that ends up on coffee tables, try to use a decorative tray for your magazines or decorative box to house your remotes.   Remember you don't have to replace everything all at once in order to create a warm and inviting room.  Start with a few little things a little at a time and you'll be on your way to an effortless transformation.

You can find a few of those "little things" at PinkDoorDecor.com, visit us today.

Happy Decorating,

LAMPS....MOOD AND ART

Whatever happened to the use of lamps?  Lamps can kill many birds with one stone (just a figure of speech for bird lovers).   First, the lighting from a lamp provides a soothing mood to any room.  I personally do not like bright overhead lights, unless I am cooking in my kitchen.
You can also find some hot looking lamps that can change a drab room to something fabulous.  The lamp serves as a piece of art.                                                                        
Finally, if you need to fill a space or provide height to a corner, add a lamp.   I personally cannot live without them.
Here’s a couple of my favorite lamps you can find at www.pinkdoordecor.com
