April 2008 Monthly Tip
To keep a room designed primarily with neutral colors from looking boring, add visual complexity with textured accessories, including rugs and pillows.

If you have low ceilings and want to give your room a greater feeling of height, use dark flooring.

Neutral, pastel and warm colors are ideal for restful spaces like bedrooms.

Soap residue is highly visible on dark surfaces. When designing your bathroom and kitchen, keep in mind that lighter colored tiles will require less work to keep them looking clean.

Make a small kitchen look larger by adding mirrored tiles just above the back splash. The surfaces will reflect the other side of the room and help to open up the space.

From a vase of fresh flowers to a new lamp and pillows, adding a few accessories to a room can help to make it feel like new.

With winter just around the corner, switch out light colored rugs with heavier, darker rugs to add warmth to your rooms.

As the nights get cooler, move your favorite outdoor potted plants inside. The foliage will brighten your interiors and keep your plants healthy.

Keeping your fabrics looking new can be a challenge in the summer when there's more foot traffic and windows are frequently open. If your Hunter Douglas window fashions get stained, visit our Care & Cleaning page to read up on how to best clean them.

Look for window treatments with linen fabrics for your summer retreat to create a cool, relaxed atmosphere in any room.

When displaying decorative objects in a room, vary their height to create interesting compositions.

If you have wood floors in your bedroom, consider placing area rugs or mats around the bed so your feet touch something soft and warm first thing in the morning.

When planning the layout of a sitting or living room, create a sense of balance by tastefully dispersing your furniture around the space rather than clustering objects together.

One reward for organizing your possessions during a bout of spring cleaning: you'll surely find some old treasures worth putting on display around your home.

When choosing a dining table, keep in mind that round tables tend to accommodate more people in a small space.

Artfully arranging split wood in the hearth of your fireplace adds a feeling of warmth to your room even if there's not a fire going.
