Room Redo

[Melinda Stone CBC]

Budgets are often the biggest concern when a homeowner contemplates redecorating. But an option currently gaining popularity is called "Redesign" and it both affordable and accomplished with a minimal amount of time. A credentialed interior redesigner takes existing furnishings,art collections, mirrors,decorative objects, etc and improves the room with traffic flow, color, and placement. Room arrangements can typically be completed in a day. Redesign works with the homeowner's own style while adding the needed pizzazz to one room or an entire home.

A professional redesigner knows how to provide functional space planning, architectural enhancement, the highlighting of proper focal points, visual balance and harmonious light placement. By using what the homeowner already owns and loves, an environment is created that says "home".

Here are some tips from Interior Redesigner and Stager Ellen M. Hassler

Pull furniture away from walls and into the room.

Mix several textures together for visual interest such as a nubby wool throw on a leather chair.

Hang a mirror where it will reflect a beautiful view.

Hang art for a reason such as to extend a piece of furniture.

Group collections together for visual impact.

Mantlescapes can be dramatic with a few large scale items and try layering or leaning artwork.

Rooms come alive with something fresh such as flowers or bowl of green apples or even an aquarium.

A coffee table is the most important table in the room for adding visual interest.

You can never have too many lamps in a room. Consider adding a small lamp to a bookcase.

Add punches of color with colorful accessories, art, and floral arrangements.
