Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I incorporate the use of color
in my home?
A: Actually, I responded to this in the "10 Tips for Beautiful
Comfortable Interiors." If you're not accustomed to color in your
home, the step forward to color will actually feel like a leap! Try
the small color samples available in most paint stores. Paint poster
board and hang it in your room. Watch the color change in differing
lights. You'll then know if you can live with a certain color.
Q: How do I select wall-to-wall carpet
throughout the home when the colors of rooms differ?
A: Find a unifying neutral color that will marry the
varying color schemes.
Q: How do we mix the styles of two
previous marriages?
A: Whew, that's a tough one! This may require counseling. Actually,
I think compromise is the only answer here. Good luck!
Q: How do I place furniture in the room
when considering dimensions, windows or doorways?
A: First you need to determine if this furniture actually fits.
Next, conversational groupings of furniture always work.
Q: How do I accessorize to give the room
a completed look?
A: First go with what you love. For a completed look think of the
main colors in the space, then accent those with accessories in
contrasting colors.
Q: How can I decorate a new lower level
of our home when the rest of our home is French Country? We are more
comfortable with the warm look of traditional furniture.
A: Actually, I think the traditional look is a gentle and inspired
transition from the French Country look. I think you're on the right
track. Follow your heart.
