			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Touches of red in interior design go a long way, when used in small quantities. In feng shui red in interior design signifies richness and luxury.;</p>
<p>Red is bold and beautiful.</p>
<p>Red is highly visible and often indicates danger. It is also the colour of importance &#8211; the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs.</p>
<p>Touches of red in interior design</p>
<p>Not all reds are the same either. There the &#8216;hot&#8217; reds, &#8216;warm reds&#8217; and the cool &#8216;reds&#8217;.</p>
<p>Hot reds</p>
<p>A hot geranium red is a great colour to cheer up your kitchen.</p>
<p>Hot red looks very striking with white and is great colour for a celebration.</p>
<p>Warm reds</p>
<p>Nature provides us with such beautiful red colours. . . . Warm reds also include the dusky colour of a red tomato.</p>
<p>Scarlet red is the most insistent of all colours.</p>
<p>If you are adventurous there are a few colour combinations that compliment warm reds.</p>
<p>· A combination of warm reds and oranges also add pizzazz to a cool colour scheme.</p>
<p>Cool reds</p>
<p>Touches of Red in Interior Design</p>
<p>Generally, each chicken needs 4-5 quare feet inside the coop for optimal health, egg production and individual space. Predators can attack your chickens from sky, ground and under ground.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a business consultant for the industry, I constantly witness designers, vendors, showrooms and even design centers thinking technology is just a tool that enables them to type, search and email.</p>
<p>who has time?</p>
<p>Social Media is not only a valuable tool, most of it is FREE advertising!</p>
<p>Does the Interior Design Industry REALLY Need Social Media?</p>
<p>Stylish table lamps are the key to a well furnished room and a major key to the stylish table lamp is the Chinoiserie style, a French term, pronounced &#8220;shin-wahz-ree&#8221; signifying &#8220;Chinese-esque&#8221; or &#8220;anything reflecting Chinese culture: Chinese artifacts, designs, artistic styles, behavior&#8221;.</p>
<p>For a classic or eclectic interior, fine antique table lamps of Chinoiserie style will quickly &#8220;pull the look together&#8221;, adding interest and an overall sense of high style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The elements of design include space, line, form, color, and texture. The principles of design are balance, emphasis, rhythm, proportion and scale, and harmony and unity.</p>
<p>Principle #1: Balance</p>
<p>Visual equilibrium in a room is called balance. Balance also refers to how and where you place the elements (line, form, color and texture) within a room. To maintain balance, try to distribute the elements throughout the room.</p>
<p>o Informal balance uses different objects of the same visual weight to create equilibrium in a room.</p>
<p>Principle #2: Emphasis</p>
<p>Emphasis is the focal point of the room.</p>
<p>Principle #3: Rhythm</p>
<p>Rhythm is created through repetition of line, form, color or texture.</p>
<p>Size relationships in a room are defined by proportion and scale.</p>
<p>Principle #5: Harmony and Unity</p>
<p>A well-designed room is a unified whole that encompasses all the other elements and principles of design. The ultimate goal of decorating is to create a room with unity and harmony and a sense of rhythm.</p>
<p>There is no one size fits all paint.</p>
<p>If you want a room to be full of energy, then pick a paint colour that shows that. You need timbre paint at a right price.</p>
