4. Slip into something a little more
comfortable!
Slip covers often get a bad rap but they are truly
wonderful things. They can serve as a means of
changing your furniture’s look to reflect the sea-
sons. These easily removed coverings allow you
to have a sophisticated look without constantly
worrying about people dirtying or spilling on
your furniture. Slip covers are ideal for rooms
used frequently by children. Above the white
slip-covered couches gives the air of a casual,
comfortable, easy yet sophisticated elegance.
5. Wicker baskets
Wicker baskets are an economical and elegant
way to add storage to any room. Baskets can be
used to store and display books, architectural
and decor magazines, toys, towels and blan-
kets to name a few. Place a couple of small
wicker baskets on the counter-tops in your
kitchen to beautifully display and store your
fruit and vegetables.
6. Use what you already have to decorate.
We all have items in our possession, probably
packed up in boxes somewhere and haven’t giv-
en them a second glance. Your home needs some
accessories. Instead of running to the store, take a
good look at what you already have. Trays, wood-
en, acrylic, metal or silver can be placed on top
of luggage racks, tea carts, trunks, bedside tables
and coffee tables for extra texture and dimension.
7. Add a hanging pot holder to your kitchen.
Kitchens are meant to be warm and inviting. We spend
much of our time in them whether it be for preparing
meals, serving meals or entertaining. A hanging pot
rack is useful elegance. Kitchens are meant to feel as
though they are in constant use and a hanging pot
rack certainly makes one feel this way.
