| Shake up Your House Setting Posted: 08 Feb 2014 11:34 AM PST 
Are you bored of the same old look? Is it about time you shake up a few items? Spice does not have to be added by a complete, long, expensive decor procedure but you can simply alter the setting of your house from time to time by simple techniques that will definitely result in a huge different! What more can one want!? Whether it is the living room, bathroom, kitchen or bedroom, here are a few think you could always easily do:
• Hang a Statement from Overhead
The importance of lighting can never be toned down and it's even better and seductive when it comes from an attractive lamp or gives out an effect. For modern touch add lighting to your ceilings and pendant lights make this easily, cheaply and gorgeously possible. You can go for something simple or lavish; it completely depends on your style and the room. A simple small light will do for a small bathroom or kitchen while if large hang a couple in line or one oversized one! Opt for unique designs for important places such as the living room. •Switch the Drapes
Are the old drapes dreary or are they allowing too much sunlight to pass through? For a change alter the curtains, switch from fabric curtains to blinds or vice versa, which ever will provide a productive change. Even simply changing the pattern and colour of the drapes can have a huge necessary effect. Its advisable to go for something that blocks light thus when privacy is required close the shades and when brightness is needed roll them up! •Add Some Hints of Pattern to Plainness
Go graphic, polka, geometric, flowery or whatever you prefer for a dose of character. Any plain sofa can pop up with patterned pillow and bring out your living room. A simple neutral bedroom will yearn for a graphic bed sheet or canvas print for an empty wall. A patterned rug is an excellent example and will do just as a great job to add character plus style to any room. •Items Which Are Tall and Chic
For a contemporary look purchase some contemporary items and there is no better accessory then elongated decoration pieces. The market is full of long vases that can either be placed on their own or be filled with tall, fresh flowers. A table is not required to hold these small vases; any empty corned can easily be filled up. Even if they can't be equipped with flowers a bunch of them, especially in different sizes will make a noticeable chic different. Length can even be added to photographs or canvas pictures or mirrors on the wall as well as L shaped sofas for the living room. Source : Sent by Serven wilson  |
| Buying Furniture Online – Here Are the Things to Consider! Posted: 07 Feb 2014 11:34 PM PST When buying anything online you can never be too cautious. You do find many good deals online but you can never be too sure of the product you might receive. Furniture is a big and expensive buy so consider a few key points before placing your order.
 Valid Phone No:
Make sure the number given is valid. You can never be too careful so check up on the number by calling a couple times. Make sure the number is company registered and valid. Physical location:
The physical location of the place you're getting your furniture from matters. It will have a direct effect on the price of the delivery as well as the time it takes to reach you. If you're shipping it from overseas then you need to be extra cautious about your buy. A nearby location or local delivery however is easier and can be dealt with ease. Quality of goods:
You can never be sure of the quality of goods. Pictures can sometimes be deceiving. Make sure that the product being delivered to you is in a good condition and of good quality. Make it clear to the selling company or party that if the product is not as per the pictures you will be returning it. Payment method:
Discuss the method of payment. There are many ways of payment; cash, credit card, online payment, cash on delivery. Discuss and come to a decision on a method both parties are comfortable with. Privacy policy:
Be sure on what the privacy policy is of the selling party. Ask if need be and make sure that no personal information is leaked or abused. Your address, phone number and credit card number etc. are at their disposal so be positive they have a strict privacy policy. Delivery time:
Find out about their delivery time before making any decisions. Different companies take different amount of time to deliver goods. If they will be able to deliver the furniture within a reasonable amount of time only then should you place your order. Reputation and reviews:
Make sure you are aware of their reputation before placing your order. The best way to know how well a company works is by reading the reviews of previous clients. They will give an unsolicited, unbiased and honest review. Money back guarantee:
When buying dining table, chair or any other product, ask if they have a money back guarantee, in case the product is defected etc. This will ensure that you are not robbed of your money incase such a problem were to occur. Online shopping can be a huge risk so make sure that you are careful on who you decide to buy from and what things need to be checked up on before buying. The online world can be deceiving at times and with countless sham companies out there you can never be too careful. About the author:
