Colors have the power to influence a room’s atmosphere.  They should be your ever-present ally when trying to lighten, make a room look bigger, or simply giving a unique touch to your home. Discover how to use colors to your satisfaction!

No more dark and dull (I would use dull – most people won’t know that word) tones. With summer’s arrival, it’s time to brighten up your interior with a touch of fresh and dynamic color.

From the living room to restrooms, including the bedroom, transform your walls with green, yellow or blue… colors that will always give you a hint of summer.

Change any room:

Energize your living room with a blue-colored wall.

It will bring an exotic touch. In addition, your accent decorations will be highlighted.

Separate the living room from the kitchen.

Use an open red partition with circled gaps: Its bright red color will give a clean touch.  Using wall art will enhance this look and serve as a finishing touch.

A navy-blue ambiance for the best comfort!

Favor a holiday oceanfront atmosphere by incorporating a Mediterranean blue color. Always enhance your room color with accent pillows to bring balance to your bedroom decor.

Beveled glass color: A zen bathroom

Beveled glass gives a relaxing feeling thanks to its enveloping and fresh sensation feel. Favor a white bath and hardwood flooring to bring harmony to your décor.

Remember that a pleasant-colored style promotes vivid colors, circle shapes and several patterns. So let your imagination run wild and let the colors do the talking!

Keep this short summary in mind:

1. Personality: unusual, colored, energetic, creative, seventies, original, optimist, lighten.
2. Main colors: vivid red, purple red, orange, yellow, lighten blue, green.
3. Materials: PVC, wood, plastic, textiles.

Balance Your Home Decor With Vases!

by Towne Home Furnishings

Sometimes we look at a room in the house and we think: “something is missing here! There are too many blank spaces.” A good way to resolve this feeling is to add some accent décor; vases can do a great job! Here are some tips on how to match vases to your homedécor:

For a big space, like in a corner of the living room, using a single big vase is trendy. Add some faux flowers and/or long branches to personalize it!

If you have many medium or small vases and they have a similar look, they will make a bigger impact and seem more important if you keep them in the same area.

For a vintage look, add off-white or beige vases.

To add some punch to a room, colorful ones will do the trick!

Dining Room Camouflage

by Towne Home Furnishings

It’s always useful to have a secret hiding place not far from the table to store tablecloths, paper plates and plastic utensils. These are things that our guests don’t need to see and that don’t match very well with a beautiful decor. Servers, accent cabinets and buffets are masters of camouflaging such things! Take a look at some ideas we found for you:

Be Creative For Memorial Day

by Towne Home Furnishings

Memorial Day weekend is the perfect occasion to gather everyone you love to honor people who died while in the military service. Maybe some of them were in your family circle; take advantage of this special day to remember what they did for your country. Make this day a perfect moment to spend time with your close friends and family. What better way to have a good time with people we love than talking and eating a good meal around a beautifully decorated table, within the theme of the Memorial Day?

5 tips to succeed in preparing a Memorial Day table:

1)   Cook beforehand

Make the most of the time with your guests, get ahead! As soon as possible during the day, cut peppers into strips, homemade sauces ... simmer sauces in bowls and place them in the refrigerator. Also you can make chicken and meat skewers. You will just have to take them out in good time.

2)   Multiply tastes

Forget skewers from the supermarket, as they are bland and uninviting.

Lean rather towards ribs, chicken wings or meat slices, etc.

Just as well, add some sausages and match your chicken or meat with a slice of bacon, harmonized with mashed potatoes or runner beans for side dishes. In addition, make marinades with some spices and herbs such as mint, coriander, basil, oregano, thyme.

3)   Incorporate some marinades and sauces

To provide relief texture and give a good taste to your grilled, mix different marinades.

For example, you can mix soy sauce, honey and coriander.

N.B. honey is cooked with meat sauces, but it is just as good as fish sauces.

Do not forget the cold sauces for meat lovers. Also, add a lighter yogurt sauce and mint to join vegetables. Finally, on the table’s corner, put mayonnaise and ketchup, as always acclaimed.

4)   Don’t forget exoticism

Squeeze limes to make a marinade, use coconut milk to sweeten a sauce and season your dishes with a pinch of pepper.

Do not hesitate to prick your skewers on a pineapple cut in half.

5)   Create your personalized dessert

To end your meal, the dessert has to be light and creative. We recommend some fruit jars with cream or exotic fruit salad and ice coconut balls.

Nevertheless, you have the opportunity to be creative!

Think up braised fruits. Hand out sheets of aluminum to your guests and ask them to make their own selection. Besides it's fun!

Vary pleasures by mixing mango wedges, melons, apples or apricots. Prepare even skewers of fresh fruit. Finally, end your evening with skewers of marshmallow to melt on the barbecue and dip them in melted chocolate for food lovers.

Don’t forget the right cocktail!
