Great Ideas for Your Home

Give your home a colorful makeover with different hues If comfort is the goal, then color is the key. Color is the most dramatic and fun part of designing, according to Julie Blackley, designer for Steve Peterson Interiors. "Does your family room need a lift? Try some color. Paint your walls a rich, deep black cherry red or go one more step and put some glaze on it to give it more depth and texture. Red demands attention. It's color for those striving for success and a desire to experience the fullness of living," Blackley says. Blackley says that after homeowners have defined their personalities, they can more easily reflect their personality by choosing the right colors for their home. "Create the perfect mood for your home," Blackley says.
