CAN I AFFORD A DESIGNER?

The real estate market has made many of us re-evaluate our priorities.  Some of us are asking, "Do I really need a new house or will this one do, if I spruce it up?" If you don't know where to start, why not hire a designer or decorator.  You can find a designer who works by the hour and pay the designer for a consultation.  The designer can help you pick out a few paint colors or rearange a room. 

The few dollars spent on a designer could save you a mint later.  Rearranging your place is a lot less than buying a new room full of furniture.

DECORATING USING HOT SUMMER COLORS BY POSH INTERIORS

It is time to spring clean the house and give your rooms a quick makeover.  The best and least expensive way to make any room look refreshed is to add a few new accessories.  As a designer, I love throw pillows.  Pillows can change a drab sofa or chair into something fabulous.

Two hot colors this summer is Honey Suckle and Citrus or Gold.  In my personal space, I have used a lot of warm colors.  I am going to purchase the gold pillows for my family room to brighten it up.  You can find these pillows and other accessories by going to http://www.poshinteriorsllc.com/  and clicking on the accessories button.

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 meet again, have fun changing the light placement in your living space.

UNCONVENTIONAL WAYS TO HANG A PICTURE!

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 my accessories website at www.pinkdoordecor.com
