Now that you have your new furniture, the next step is arranging it. Where you place your furniture in a room will ultimately set the tone for how you live in it. Here are seven must-know tips for arranging your living room, whether you’re relaxing with family, entertaining friends or watching TV.
The first step in arranging any room is determining just how much space you have to work with. You can use a tape measure to get dimensions or simply measure your foot and walk heel to toe across the room.
To add visual interest to a room you should incorporate a variety of furniture with different characteristics. For example, use an extra-large sectional with small armchairs and side tables to create an energetic vibe in your living room with various volumes.
When furnishings are out of scale you’ll notice that it just doesn’t feel comfortable or right. That being said, make sure you use scaled pieces to create balance. Note that similarly scaled pieces create a more serene atmosphere when used together.
There are two forms of balance: symmetrical and asymmetrical. Decide which you’d like in your living room. While symmetry is very restful, asymmetry adds visual motion and excitement. Asymmetry refers to imbalance, for example to candles of slightly different sizes next to each other.
When designing your home, try thinking like an artist. Look at your space like a painter looks at a piece of art. One trick painters use is ‘triangulation’. In interior design, this can be utilized by placing two end tables on either side of a sofa with a painting above it.
Another trick painters use is the creation of depth in artwork. Paintings often have foreground, midground, background and vanishing point. Placing a chair at an angle can be the foreground. A cocktail table will provide a midground and a sofa with the wall behind it will serve as the background. A window or painting placed above the sofa will give you a vanishing point.
All furniture arrangements should have a certain gestalt, or ‘totality’ or ‘form’. For instance a long, narrow living space can be split in two by creating different zones of function. Create one half for the sofa and the function of conversing, and the other half for a dining set and function of dining. Dividing rectangular rooms into squares according to their function helps to make us feel more comfortable and less formal, which is exactly what we want for our living room!
Simple ways to add curb appeal to your home March 6, 2012

Everyone wants to make a great first impression. So why not make one at home? Your guests and neighbors will want to know what’s inside.
First, add some symmetry to your entrance way. Not only is it an easy way to please the eye, but it’s fool-proof. Whether it’s a light fixture or potted plants, a balanced arrangement will create a welcoming pathway to guide visitors inside.
Replace simple hardware that is outdated or old. Think along the lines of coordinating finishes more than mix-and-match. For example, oiled-bronze finishes suit traditional homes, while brushed nickel suits contemporary ones.
A super easy way to spruce up your entry way is to add some color to your front door. Consider repainting it or perhaps buy (or make) a new wreath to hang.
Install outdoor lighting to add safety and curb appeal. Illuminate a walking path or landscape. (Opt for low-voltage lighting.)
Create an instant graden to liven up your entryway. There are many options at garden centers. You can purchase a ready-made container or create your own with your favorite plants. Staggered, asymmetrical arrangements work best to create a dynamic, garden feel.
Add window boxes to bring color and appeal to your home exterior. Choose any type of box– from copper to wood. Mix and match plants and flowers to create your personalized color scheme.
Although it may take some time, consider replacing gutters and downspouts. Eventually they get run-down and may convey a sense of neglect. You may also want to look into a nicer (but a bit pricier) look by using a copper system.
Tile or paint your doorstep. Find a contrasting pattern or color that accents your porch for an easy, permanent welcome mat.

Brought to you by BHG.com, here are a few ways to give your kitchen an updated new look!
- Add a splash of color! If you have a neutral colored wall, consider adding some red which stimulates the appetite and improves the sense of smell.
- Open up your shelves to show off dishes and glasses.
- Use some chalkboard paint on a pantry door to create a family message center.
- Add an eye-catching chandelier over your kitchen’s island for a hint of glamour.
- Install organizers in drawers and stackable shelves in cabinets.
- Create a tiled backsplash! Choose a simple 4×4 tile, and alternate with a few accent tiles to make it pop.
- Cut the toe-kick off of each corner of a cabinet and add a bun leg in its place so it looks like a freestanding piece.
- Paint or stain them to match cabinets.

Get Organized! Essentials to help you get through the Holidays November 28, 2011

This time of year can be stressful for all of us, especially when you begin to feel guilty about skipping on your not-so-necessary traditions (the gingerbread house became a hassle more than an hobby when your kids hit 16, admit it.) But here it is, a few tips to help you through and to let you know that it’s ok to ditch some habits for the sake of your stress level.
Organization
Food Storage Containers are key, so remember to stock up on all sizes so you can give some leftovers to family or store and freeze for a quick meal later on in the week.
Collapsable Tarp Bins are great for storing christmas blankets and stuffed animals. Regular bins can also store ornaments and decorations to pack away for next year.
Cut Down
Decide whats most important on your To-Do list. Ask yourself what you would be sorry if you missed. This way, you don’t feel like you’re running around wasting precious time during the holiday craze.
Differentiate between obligations and choices. Keeping up with the Jones’ lighting display, for instance, is one thing you can cut out. Going to that miserable company party every year isn’t necessary either. Cut yourself a break once in a while — odds are you’re doing enough already.
Schedule & Simplify
Scheduling prep time is one of the most important steps that people overlook. Schedule time to shop, cook, bake, clean, decorate and wrap. With these items on your agenda, you won’t have to stress by looking for gaps in your busy schedule to squeeze them in.
Simplify Gift Giving. Who doesn’t like getting gift cards? And e-cards are just as thoughtful as pricey, time-consuming Christmas cards mailed from the post office. Remember, setting a budget before getting elaborate will help to give you an idea of whether you’re doing too much or just enough.
Entertaining at home during the holidays November 16, 2011

Plan the flow. From the moments your guests arrive to when they sit down at the table, to when they walk out the door. Try to envision the flow of activity at your home. A good example of what a average event consists of is: guests arrive, welcome toast, hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, main meal, musical interlude, dessert, presents.
Set up a day in advance. It’s best to know ahead of time if you may need extras of something. It never hurts to see your table set up the day before so you have time to make any changes that may come to mind a few hours before if need be. This can also make a huge difference in your stress level that day because you know all too well that you have enough on your plate already.
Stick to the tried-and-true. Stick to dishes you have made in the past that were big hits. For one, you don’t want to have any mishaps in cooking times, under or overcooked food, or not-so-tasty meals that your all-too-polite friends and family feel obligated to eat. And again, you’ll be more relaxed when you have confidence in what you’ll be serving.
Give a parting gift. Whether it’s something small like pretty cellophane-wrapped cookies or a small holiday tchotchke. Something showing you care that they can look back on and remember the holiday spent at your house is perfect to give out to your guests.
Relax. It’s the holidays and your house probably looks great. Just sit back and enjoy the company, food and drink. Also, an added tip is to light some candles. Somehow, candles always have the ability to set the holiday mood. Humans have had a love affair with fire since its discovery – it’s an archetypal symbol of community, heart, gathering, warmth.
Have a great time. After all, if you’re enjoying yourself it will be that much easier for your guests to have fun.

Measurements are key. To make it easier on yourself, you can measure the size of your foot and then take a lap around the room measuring walls, entrances, etc.
Scale to fit. While measurements are important, don’t forget to take the depth and height measurements too. If the items in a room are not on a similar scale, you will notice that the room just doesn’t feel “right”.
Balance. There are two types of balance– asymmetrical and symmetrical. Asymmetry adds excitement and variation by creating a non-balanced atmosphere. Symmetry creates a peaceful and balances feel. Depending on the purpose of the room, you should consider one or the other.
Be “form” conscious. Large rectangular spaces can be divided to “form” the space into something else. A long narrow living space can be split into two by creating two square zones of function. One half could be for the sofa and the other half for a dining set. In other words, a conversation room and dining room.
This helps you battle large rectangular rooms by dividing them into square zones of function. People tend to feel more comfortable and less formal in square furniture arrangements versus rectangular.

Bored of your bedroom? Here’s are a few ways that you can add a little excitement and personality your favorite spot in your home.
Decorate with items that tell stories. Use clocks, lamps, vases, books, or anything that adds that ‘collected over time’ look.
Create an artistic arrangement of photos. On a blank wall, design a layout of frames filled with pictures, or even your favorite quotes to add personality.
Mix and match bedding. This will add a casual, layered look to the bed in a luxurious yet relaxed way.
Add molding. Board and batten style, to add design to walls, however you would like. Molding creates a decorative contrast for cottage-like charm.
Paint the ceiling! Seriously. By painting the ceilings a shade “whiter” than the walls, it will give your room a deep, exciting new feel.
Set the Mood with Color! March 29, 2011

Colors in a home have the ability to influence our moods although we may not realize it. For example, red stimulates activity while blue is calming. Black is the color of mourning, and white creates a fresh impression. Yellow is energetic, while violet relaxes the mind. We can learn to use colors as a psychological tool when it comes to decorating. Sometimes it’s best to base your color schemes on the purpose of the room. Below, we will explain which colors can be applied to each of your rooms for the most effective “mood” setting. If a color seems too bright or vibrant for your liking, remember that there are hundreds of shade variations for each color family.
Living Room. Warm and earthy is what will create a cozy environment, so think tomato or terra cotta.
Dining Room. For a high energy level and hearty appetite, the colors of ripe fruit can get the job done. Apricot and peach hues do the trick.
Kitchen. The activity center of the house should embrace a bright color like sunflower to emit cheerfulness.
Child’s Bedroom. To promote imagination and creativity, a zesty shade of lime can work in both a girl’s room or a boy’s room.
Bathroom. Cleanliness and relaxation are the moods you want to set in the bathroom. Aqua colors conjure up the relaxing feeling of the ocean.
Master Bedroom. To create a tranquil feeling for a good nights sleep, use the purples and blues of nightfall. Some people are afraid to use vibrant colors, but remember that you want your house to feel like home, not a hotel room.

Treating Scratches on Leather March 9, 2011

We love our furry friends, but when they want to claw and jump up on our new leather couch, it’s hard to keep an eye on them at all times. We can discipline however we want, but the scratches remain. Here’s what you will need to fix those unsightly scratches at home if you find yourself without a leather repair kit handy.
You’ll need:
- Leather touch-up pain, leather dye, watercolor paint, or a marker pen
- A fine-tipped paintbrush
- Straight pin
- 3 toothpicks
- Craft glue
- Rag
- Hair dryer (optional)
- Apply the paint or dye to the lighter-colored areas of the scratches to match the color of the leather finish. You can choose to use the fine-tipped paintbrush or toothpick.
- Use the pin or a clean toothpick to hold back the tiny edges of the scratches. Apply craft glue, using a toothpick or paintbrush, under the edges of the scratches.
- Press the edges of the scratches down gently, using the opposite end of the paintbrush. Don’t apply too much pressure, or the glue will push out from under the edges of the scratches.
