Hello all, as promised I'm returning with a ReDesign update! I was perusing through one of my favorite online sites called “Tréndir”. Tréndir is an online home decorating magazine filled with superbly designed images of trendy décor must haves. Anyways, I came across an immaculate, yet skillful way to display ones flat screen TV.

These decorative TV frames from Must Italia gives a triple effect to any given room by providing space saving capabilities, organization as well as an added piece of art to the décor.
It is best described as a flat screen TV frame with an eccentric sense of style along with elongated corners.

If you are looking for a spectacular way to display a flat screen TV then consider this exquisite option. Most flat screens fits neatly in the center and is surrounded by shelving that is ideal for books, Cd's, DVD's and decorative frills. You have the option of choosing from natural wood or a crisp white finish. Be sure to check Must Italia for coordinated shelving unit art frames to create a stunning and complete look.

ReDesign Hiatus


I hope everyone is having a great summer. It's true I have been on some sort of ReDesign hiatus. I have to admit my creative ReDesign efforts have slacked a bit. I could try to blame it all on the Georgia's scorching Summer heat but, I won’t. I have however, noticed some interesting style elements in both the fashion and interior design scene that I am excited to share with all of you in the upcoming post. I just wanted to give a quick update for all to stay tuned for what’s to come. Ciao, for now and happy sunbathing and cool lemonade sipping by the poolside!

Creating Your Personal Redesign Energy


When redesigning your home there are some things to consider when creating that inviting ambiance that you've so been yearning. Choose design elements according to the energy and feel that key elements give off. Every room and its contents should have a meaning a purpose and feel. When you walk into your space you should almost feel like you are being transcended into another realm. A realm filled with all the pleasantries your heart desires. Frank Fontana has written an excellent article where he explains a design concept called "Quantum Design" that hopefully will help you do just that.

Think before you decorate

BY FRANK FONTANA - Special to the Sun-Times

When I was a kid (waaaaaay back before I earned my design stripes), my dad gave me a little pearl of wisdom that has become central to my low-cost, high-style approach to decorating, or what I like to call "quantum design."

He told me that to really appreciate anything to its fullest, you must first understand it thoroughly. Apply this rule of thumb to your decor and you're using quantum physics to save money on decorating.

If quantum physics doesn't seem so simple, let me use your stuff to explain:

Most of us are living in a space where the decor consists of things we call our stuff; material possessions that we can clearly see as tangible objects. Each item is made up of atoms, molecules, light and energy; each is organic, just like you.

Design With Exspansion In Mind


Is there a room in your home that is too small and causing you to have decorating woes? Expanding your space with a home renovation can easily solve that problem. However, if you can’t afford that renovation project just yet there are a few things you can do to increase your space.

In order to visually increase the appearance of your living space use color schemes that are lighter in shade. Lighter colors are excellent for creating the illusion of a larger room. Dark color do the absolute opposite. Dark colors lessen the space. Color schemes to consider are neutrals, pastels and white variations such eggshell or bone white.

Another important element to creating an open space is lighting. Introducing light that literally bounces of the ceilings or installing recessed spot lighting is a perfect way for small spaces to quickly expand. Creating a seamless feel from ceiling to floor is the key. Avoid dark flooring. Seek lighter colored flooring for a endless appearance. Examples of such flooring are the lighter shades of carpeting or the lighter tones of oak wood flooring. These simple enhancements invites the open feel.

As mentioned in a previous post; the use of a single color scheme with items such as furniture, rugs and wall art help in creating that uniform yet expanded illusion. However, in order to spruce things up a bit introduce variances in shades as well as textures of that same color grouping.

Adding wall mirrors or mirror tiles to a focal wall in the room also gives the illusion of increased space. Mirrors do a superb job of reflecting light and color.

Here are a final few things to remember when creating space:
Don’t over accessorize with too many furniture pieces. Instead of opting for a the traditional 3-piece furniture set consider a love seat and 2 outspokenly designed sitting chairs. Remember less, light and bright is more when creating added space.

Recession Proof ing your Décor

Wanting to redesign your space however, is left with the feeling that perhaps now is not the right time to do so? Are the constant warnings to cut back due to the state of the economy leaving you a bit hesitant? Honestly, with a little creativity and the ability to give a few key pieces a second life it can be done for a fraction of the amount. It’s truly about the ability to expand on your ideas and come up with keen ways to make your space look like you spent a great deal when you really didn't. When it comes to colors it’s always best to choose a color that is most appealing to you. Consider supplementing that color with several related colors in the same group for a nice harmony of hues. Choosing monochromatic shades is classic yet trendy. Adding accent color items as finishing touches like silver, bronze, black or white will boost your color scheme perfectly

Use existing items within your home. Visit your garage, basement and other rooms of your home and consider grouping similar items by them or color together to make a room have more a designer collection feel. Remember everything does not necessarily have to always match. Diversity brings a little something to be reckoned with.
