Let Nature's Changes Inspire You

The days are getting longer, temperatures are warming up and soon there will be leaves on the trees again. You know what that means - time to redecorate. Every change of season serves as inspiration to make what's old new again. This time of year, magazines are filled with articles about the latest trends in decorating. The experts say bright, brilliant reds and oranges complimented with grayed-out neutrals will be hot for Spring 2006. There will also be a major change in furniture styles. Overstuffed sofas are out; eclectic couches and other pieces featuring modern shapes, luxurious fabrics and down-filled comfort are in. But you don't have to change your furniture or paint the walls to make a dramatic seasonal change in your home. All you have to do is switch out the accessories. A good place to start is in the room where you spend the majority of your time - the bedroom. If you're like most people, you either keep the same comforter on your bed all year round, or you've been using a dark colored one all winter. Start your home's spring transformation by investing in a new one. Not sure what design you want? Log on to the Olivier Desforges Web site, www.olivierdesforges.com some ideas.
