Accessories Page Underconstruction
I have decided to step back from the e-commerce business,
so I will no longer be selling accessories online.
Therefore I will continue to focus on the primary aspect
of the business which is interior decorating. However,
I will be providing some information I know you will
appreciate regarding accessorizing. Stay tuned over
the next couple of months for the new change.

Just a reminder that March is around the corner so

Space Planning Tips...
There are two human factors regarding space planning;
physical and psychological. In order for people to
be comfortable, you need to take into consideration
the scale and proportion of the room. This is important
because if the space is too large or too small, you
can feel out of place. When selecting furniture it
should be scaled for comfort, purpose and efficiency.
You must have knowledge of the actual sizes of the
furniture pieces you are considering and the clearances
necessary to move around. Determine the zones for the
room, do you want an exercise area, library, and entertainment
area? Then place those pieces appropriately, meaning
make sure you have room for uninterrupted traffic flow.
Last, keep in mind your "personal space",
most people have a "space bubble", they don't
want to be crowded and demand more privacy. The pictures
illustrate a poor arrangement (left) and the better
furniture plan for that room (right).
