10 Designs We Love!

Beautiful, innovative home design concepts don't have to be costly.  Just ingenious.  Here are 10 that the editors of Better Homes and Gardens® shared that we love too!

1.  Rearrange Your Furniture (it's FREE):  Start with the biggest piece toward a focal point, such as a fireplace or window. Or angle a sofa, chair or bed that's currently hugging a wall.  If you don't like how it turns out, try it again!

2.  Paint Your Front Door: A warm color at the entrance of your home makes it seem more welcoming.  Just pick a fun color, get a quart of Glidden exterior paint...you can transform your home in an afternoon. Learn more about color choices and tips at www.glidden.com

3.  Ungroup Matched Sets:  Identical end tables, nightstands and lamps can make your home feel like a furniture store.  Swap out one of the pair with something in another room.

4.  Add a Folding Screen:  Not only does a screen add visual interest, it helps define open rooms and hide excess clutter.

5.  Dress Up Your Drawers:  Replace ho-hum cabinet pulls with colorful artsy knobs that coordinate with the rest of your room's decor.

6.  Warm Up Your Walls:  Give your white walls an instant glow with a coat of neutral beige paint.  It won't overwhelm you with color or compete with brightly colored furnishings.  Glidden Paint has a great online room visualizer where you can actually select a color and put it on the wall.  Check it out here:  www.glidden.com/color/color-visualizer.do

7.  Rethink Your Accessories:  Create a whole new look - with home decor you already have!  Just gather your accessories in a room, then try items in new spaces.

8.  Use a Big Basket:  It's perfect for collecting shoes and magazines...plus, if you love it, you can keep it out in the open for the world to see.

9.  Get a Big Look From Small Pieces: Gather different sizes and shapes of paintings, plates, and mirrors to make a collage perfect for hanging above your sofa.

10.  Fall for Pricy Fabric - Guilt-Free:  Just pick up a yard - it's all you need to whip up your pillows or a tablerunner that's guaranteed to make a bold splash in any room!
