Design Tips:

  • Incorporate texture using items like rattan and bamboo baskets to add a tropical and warm feeling to a room. Natural elements have a lightening effect so consider using bundles of bamboo as curtain rods. Small rattan boxes can be used to hold anything from socks to scarves to CDs.

  • Use trendy colors for accessories. They add interest and are less expensive to change than the larger items in a room.

  • Try rearranging furniture and accessories for the easiest, no-cost way to freshen a room. Why not be unconventional and float a bed in the middle of the room?

  • Add color and brightness to a window by pinning scarves in two different colors over a rod instead of curtains. These create an airy feeling since the light can come right through.

  • In a bedroom, mix and match old and new floral and striped sheets for an entirely different look each time you make the bed. Be daring and use bold colors for a dramatic spring change.
