When it comes to decorating the living room, many of us struggle. We can visualize in our mind what we want but it doesn’t always look that way in the end. Whilst most people can decorate their walls with pictures and then hang pretty curtains on the windows; it is our floors that get neglected. We choose long term flooring and then forget about them. This is our mistake. And the Dynamic Rugs Brilliant Rug Collection is the perfect solution.

Changing the look of your wall is easy; just move your pictures around or add a splash of color. And windows are just as easy to change with some new drapes. Flooring on the other hand is expensive and that’s why most of us just stick with carpeting or hard wood flooring that lasts for ever.

But it you want a balanced living room that reflects your personality then you are going to have to address your flooring. And it’s easy; if you use rugs. If you want your living room to be warm and inviting then you need to look for a neutral earth tone color for your floor. The Dynamic Rugs Brilliant Linen 7211-820 area rug is perfect for this situation. By using a beige color on the floor you will bring focus to your walls, where you can add interest with bright prints and images.

You can add a rustic look to your home by placing the Dynamic Rugs Brilliant 72240 Oriental rug down in your living room. The main color in this rug is red, which is usually a bold choice but for this rug it is only an added highlight because the red is not overpowering but soft. You can add a neutral color or earth tones on your walls and curtains to allow the red Oriental rug to stand out in its own way.

The most popular favorite color of people is blue. And it’s easy to incorporate blue into your living room with the Dynamic Rugs Brilliant Blue 72284-920. This Oriental style rug brings a splash of pale blue to your room. The accent of brown in the rug team well with the blue and ensures it brightens a room without making the space feel too cold, as blue often does.

The most important thing when it comes to decorating your living room is to remember it is an expression of your taste; so don’t be afraid to display what makes you happy. Use color wisely on the walls and then add to it with curtains and rugs. Have fun and experiment with your own favorite colors and styles.

Other than a fresh coat of paint, there is just no easier nor more cost-effective way to completely change the look of many rooms in your home than to add some new cushiony comforts with a few casually tossed and thoughtfully selected decorative pillows.

I have had three couches in my life over the last decade or so, but you’d think I redecorated my living room monthly. What’s my secret? Among my collection of personal home décor items are about 40 fabulous decorative throw pillows that suit my changing moods, changing seasons, and ever-changing mind! Whenever I get bored with the look of my room, which is about as often as I get bored with my wardrobe, I just change it all up super-quick by rearranging my decorative throw pillows and by playing around with the different colours, textures, shapes, arrangement, and styles available at FashionWindowTreatments.com.

My sofa is definitely a one-of-a-kind conversation piece, like a chameleon. It’s the cozy center of our home’s comfort and the place for all of us to come together, talk, play Scrabble, or snuggle up under a coordinating blanket. Your sofa, too, can add sparkling new life to the same-old-same-old whenever you redecorate this easy way. I like to call it “pillorating”. Allow me to elaborate upon my easy schemes.

I have been collecting decorative throw pillows for many years now. It’s much cheaper than buying new furniture, and it’s so much fun! Some of my good stand-bys are in solid colors that coordinate easily with all sorts of patterns. I have several classic damask prints, some in silk, some with fancy beaded borders, cottons, satin, and even a leopard print one that is reversible with solid black on the other side. I mix new with vintage, and the latest patterns with Granny’s floral cross-stitch. It’s an eclectic masterpiece! This same concept can be used in other areas of the home, such as the dining room using chair seat cushions or the bathroom by changing the patterns on your long shower curtains.

My favorite decorative throw pillow of all is in gorgeous black velvet, appliquéd with red roses and bright green velvet leaves that set off the red and draw the eye as a good work of art will do. This throw pillow adds so much texture to our otherwise ordinary, somewhat drab sage green velour sofa. And it cost a fraction of the price of a new piece of art!

I move my pillows from sofas to chairs, and even throw them in pile on the floor for some extra fun seating! Sometimes I use the sofa pillows upstairs in our master suite. And when guests come to stay, I dress up the guestroom, getting creative by designing a haven of delight for our houseguests. All with decorative throw pillows! I try to choose colors and styles I know will suit the tastes of our guests, and it always works!

I get excited just thinking about all the possibilities of looks that are achievable by simply adding a few new decorative throw pillows to your home’s collection. When you tire of them, simply store your decorative throw pillows in plastic until it’s time for a change again. And then, when you bring them back out later, you’ll love all the looks they offer all over again!

Recently I have started thinking about decorative throw pillows yet again, because I bought a mid-century Danish modern, low-riser sofa in turquoise and teak. Sounds like a hard thing to work into your room’s décor without having to start from scratch, right? Nope! All I need is ONE colour to tie it all together, and I can achieve this by finding decorative throw pillows with turquoise beads, piping, or fabric. Voila! A completely new room that’s all tied together! It’s going to look so designer chic. I can’t wait to find that next perfect decorative throw pillow at FashionWindowTreatments.

So, you want to live harmoniously with the world and your environment and you want to attract good fortune and do away with the bad energy? Well, there’s an oriental answer for you and it’s in Chinese and it’s called Feng Shui. Feng Shui, when translated in English verbatim is “wind-water” and is pronounced as “fung shway”. For centuries, the Chinese have used this method to sort of “determine” where to create human settlement and have positive spiritual energy or Qi and have harmonious relationship between the person, his abode and everything around them. Think of the Star Wars films and the use of The Force and you will exactly know what it means. It has the same principle but you can’t float objects with it or strangle someone to death. That would be the Dark Side of the Force. Seriously speaking, Feng Shui has now reached the shores of the Western World and is being accepted with open arms.
