Before you start to redecorate a room, be sure you make those decisions with whoever will live in that room. When deciding on color-ask yourself what color makes you feel happy. That color will dominate your closet. Blue works in bedroom, yellow in bathrooms, red in the dining room and green in the living room. It should always be balanced.
Rosettes can help add a stylish touch to valances, swags and tiebacks.
When setting pleats in curtains, use a damp cloth rinsed in white vinegar and water. You won't have to worry about the pleats being set for life. If you want a piece of fabric on a rod to be truly unruffled-cut the fabric just slightly narrower than the width of the rod. By just changing the pillows, you can change a room.
