Every room needs Life……..

or at least the suggestion that there is life!

Life…….my No. 1 design must have is Life! OK, before I lose all of you …… every room needs a plant or two. Not everyone is has a green thumb to be perfectly honest when it comes to indoor plant life mine is a black thumb! Fear not folks, silk plants to the rescue!
Even with the warmest color palettes rooms can feel stark, plain and frankly bare. Now by no means am I suggestion that you turn your family room into a greenhouse, but start to soften those rooms with a little life!

Here are few suggestions sure to successfully add that much needed life to your spaces.

· Fill dark corners or empty corners of a room with a tree. Up light the tree to create exciting shadows and patterns on your walls

· Perk up those bookcase with a basket of ivy in the center of a shelf, let it cascade down soften the harsh line the shelf itself creates!

· Struggling with what to do with the center of the coffee table…… punch it up with a bowl of green grass!

· Fresh flowers, a must! Treat yourself once a week to flowers it brightens any room and simply makes you smile………..

· Not sure how to finish off an end table? A little potted plant is sure to enhance any arrangement…and again you can create great shadows with the light coming off a lamp on the said end table!

· There’s always that shelf on the bottom of a table or sideboard that just collects dust. Fill it!

Plant life, silk or the real deal is an inexpensive way to freshen up any room. Now get out there a liven up your spaces!
