Lighting tips for your home

     Lighting has the power to change your space design. Before you purchase your lighting, think of each piece’s functionality and the nature of each room’s lighting. Layering light is essential in living/family rooms, where the family engages in various activities such as conversation, watching TV, and reading.

Also, matching styles and lighting color temperatures can help create a comfortable and cohesive setup. Interior lighting can help uplift your rooms and make them warmer, especially if you try low-hung pendants. You can also use recessed spotlights to save space. With the recent improvements in LED lights, you can save energy, help the planet, and light up your room with style.

How do you mix and match frame colors on your walls

     The good news is there are no fixed rules. Ask yourself first what is your style. Modern, classic, eclectic, minimalist…? What is your furniture style? A simple way to start is to choose a color palette that complements the images or art you will display on your wall. You can mix neutral-colored frames, such as black, white, or wood tones, with a few bold colors, or you can incorporate contrasting dark-colored frames with light ones if you want specific frames to pop out. You can start with similar frame styles for a simpler look, but if you want a more eclectic look, you can mix traditional frames with modern ones or mix different materials like wood and metal.

How do you create a good flower arrangement?

     To create a good flower arrangement, start by selecting a variety of blooms with complementary colours, shapes, and sizes. Cut the stems at an angle and remove any excess foliage. Use a clean vase filled with fresh water and add flower food to prolong their lifespan. Begin arranging with focal flowers, then add filler flowers and greenery for texture and depth. Experiment with different heights and layering techniques, and periodically trim stems and change the water to maintain the arrangement’s freshness.
