Indoor Green


A houseplant will introduce living color and warmth to any room. Create the feeling of sitting in an outside garden in each room in your home.

Offices are often air-conditoned and dry, which does not suit all plants, however it is not difficult to create a small oasis of leafy green on or near your desk. You can plan an architectural grouping on a table or by mixing different greens shapes and textures.

Touches of Luxury



For sensual indulgence and relaxation, your haven may contain items chosen for the delicacy of their textures. These luxuries may change with the seasons or your mood, a little richness goes a long way, be selective and choose a few favorite pieces, rather than accumulating clutter. Glamour does not prelude praticality. Fresh linen or cotton sheets are the ultimate indulgence.

Sumptuous brocade, intricate embroidery, and delicate lace evoke times gone by, silk throws beaded or tassle trimmed pillows add romance and an elegant touch.

Harmony in Texture


Exposed or painted brick walls or slate used as flooring or work surfaces, gives the uncluttered look of elegance. This is simplicity soothing in itself, while others prefer to soften hard edges with rugs of silk or wool. The rugs seem even more luxurious on a plain background.
Window treatments can add a tranquil effect. Less is More, however, accent with soft sheer or frame a window with simple top treatments. This room was designed by accenting the stone fireplace. The stone surrounds the bar opposite the fireplace as well as an accect wall in the entrance. Simple elegance is tranquil and relaxes the mind.
