Cushions are the budget-consious decorator's friend, allowing him or her to add sumptuous
touches, vibrant colours and deep textures easily and without being forced to change the
entire decor of the room. Cushions work particularly well in bedrooms, as well as
living rooms, adding an overall appeal and sense of comfort to every bedroom.

Let's Talk about Sofa Beds

There’s a kind of stigma attached to the idea of sofa beds; when you were young, you may
have spent an uncomfortable night at a friend’s house, trying – and failing – to get to sleep
on a hard, creaky, bumpy bed, but that simply isn’t the case anymore. Sofa beds have come

improvement. When not in use it retracts back into the wall. Isn't that a smart idea?

It was found at Lowe's for about $40.00

Well it's true...It's All in the Details!

How many times have you heard that it's all in the details? You may fall in love with a room
not realizing at first glance what details make it outstanding. Frequently most people when

fabric pattern. They don't realize the impact of one's room architectural details or interior
design and how these speak to the overall design. Here is a set of examples for you.

Keep Calm!

If  by any chance you are about to be working this weekend, let it be in an office like this!
