BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO YOUR ROOMS

With just a little time, effort and money, every room in your home can take on a fresh new look. A new accent color is a great way to add a new dimension to your interiors. Make a change with toss pillows and a throw in a rich jewel tone or a vibrant citrus color to add a lot of punch for very little expense. If you are feeling a bit more ambitious, paint one wall in your new accent color for maximum impact. Add a new area rug and you have totally transformed your space.

An addition of green plants and flowers can literally add new life to your space. If you don't have a green thumb, today's silks can look great without any of the care or worry of live plants.

Finally, don't underestimate the impact of art in a space. A colorful new print, a fantastic sculpture or other object d'art can put the finishing touch to your room.
