Get Inspired

I love One Kings Lane "Get Inspiration" section. Wonderful designers such as Kenneth Brown and Amy Lau give you great advice on how to improve your home. Here are some tips from designer Ken Fulk on how to re-imagine a space without spending a ton of money.

01- Dimmers - Any light that can turn on should be able to dim. And use them - Everything looks better in softer light.

02- Color! - Life is short. Don't be afraid it's only a coat of paint. Be daring and don't shy away from the dark colors either. One of my favorite rooms ever was nearly black - it was as if the walls had fallen away, and all that existed was a fabulous painting, the view from the windows, and some eclectic furnishings. Perfection!

03- Switch your rooms around – Sounds simple (or perhaps not) - but it really changes the way you experience your house - it's like moving without the big trucks. It will be as if you remodeled the whole house!
