"How to" Guide for Hanging Artwork in the Home.
Artwork is what really brings a room to life. It is such an impactful element that it is often used as a main focal point to draw the eye in.
Sometimes a single piece of artwork can be the source of inspiration for designing an entire room. But even with the right piece of art, if it’s not hung at the right height, or spaced appropriately, it can fall short on bringing the room together. Worse, it can stand out for the wrong reasons.
While there are times where you may deviate from these guidelines, this How to Guide is a no-fail guide you can always rely on!

"How to" Guide for Laying an Area Rug.
Shopping or a new area rug for your living room can be a daunting task. With so many options to choose from, how do you decide?
Most people shop for a rug based on its appearance and understandably so, but ultimately customers want rugs to enhance or at least complement an interior space. The size of a rug, not just its appearance, can change the dynamic of a room.
A 5x8 rug and an 8x10 rug may both fit nicely inside a living room, but if placed properly, the bigger rug actually makes the room appear larger.

Selecting a rug for the living room usually comes down to three choices: 5x8, 8x10 or 9x12. Some size guides recommend that either all the furniture rests on the rug or all the furniture, except for the coffee table, is placed completely off the rug. One exception is the placement of the couch. The front legs of a couch can rest on the rug while the rest of the couch is off the rug.
