What’s your comfort food?

Food & Design.

How can my favorite foods influence my design choices?  Inspiration can come from anywhere, so think about your foods of choice.

Chicken noodle soup?  Choose a low-level twist in a creamy pasta color.   Perhaps a  textured plush bordered in a contrasting band would fit the bill.

Steak and potatoes?  How about tiger-strand bamboo or a dimensional subway tile offset with a horizontal band of graphic deco’s?

Sushi?  Try cork.  Consider a glazed ceramic tile with definitive lines.  How about a subtle floral area rug?

Your preferences can provide a myriad of inspirational choices.  Iron Chef, anyone?

What is the decorating color of 2010?

The color palette of 2010 is all about turquoise.  This blue is calming, reflective, and speaks to a beachy escape—not a surprising choice after the economic woes of this past year.

What does this mean for you?

Consider a turquoise, jade green, and yellow green combination.  This gives you a sophisticated look, buffered with dark hardwood floors, white woodwork, and cocoa furnishings.

Add in a neutral animal print or patterned area rug for extra zing. Have fun with color!

Why is laminate so popular?

Laminate flooring

Laminate flooring offers several advantages to the homeowner looking to upgrade existing flooring:

*It can be installed over most existing flooring

*Laminate imitates the look of hardwood or tile with increased durability at a lower cost

*Glueless installation allows homeowner to DIY, if desired.

Laminate floors get their name because they’re composed of different wood-based materials that are layered, or laminated, together then topped with a wood grain photographic imprint on the face of each board.
