Celebrating Home Offers Tip for National Decorating Month

Take Part in Transforming Your Home and Reviving Your Living Space

In recognition of National Decorating Month this April, Celebrating Home is offering the following tips for transforming your living space:

• Allow color to "pop": Bright, bold accent pieces are the perfect way to compliment the softer, more neutral tones of this season's popular paint hues. So try making your statement with artisan vases, throw pillows or lamps. Fresh flowers -- in purples and yellows -- also coordinate with a wide pallet of colors. Try the Tuscan Wall Pocket with Hanger from Celebrating Home to incorporate these elements into your space.

• Bring in nature: All-natural materials such as slate or bamboo bring an eco-friendly feel to your home. End tables, candle holders and coasters are typically easy to find in natural fibers. Additionally, wicker baskets and woven boxes have an eco-friendly feel and also serve as convenient storage options. Celebrating Home offers natural Seagrass boxes and baskets to obtain this effect.

• Set the mood with candles: Strategically place candles in entrance ways, on coffee tables and on mantles. Tall pillar candles placed in groups lend themselves to a more romantic, dramatic feel, while smaller votives, such as those in the Contempo line from Celebrating Home, dispersed throughout the room can bring serenity to the space.

"The trick to revamping your home decor is to focus on accent pieces that can change the overall feel of the room with minimal work and expense," said Heather Chastain, president of Celebrating Home, the nation's largest direct selling home decor company. "Interesting details give the impression of richness and warmth. They are the key to completing your home's theme."

Designers with Celebrating Home provide people with high-quality products such as home decor, home accents, dining and entertainment pieces as well as gourmet foods. They offer these products through in-home parties.
