Do you like what you have but dont like your room? Heres the solution: pull your rooms together so they look finished and professionally decorated by following these techniques to add the wow to your rooms! (Ive used them in hundreds of homes!).

1. Paint the walls and ceiling a rich, warm neutral color or one of the colors in your rooms fabrics. Your furnishings will immediately look more at home. I call it marrying your architecture to your furnishings.

2. Next, move your seating away from the walls and group it around a fireplace, a view window or any logical focal point.

3. Now, add a generous area rug to accent and unify your entire seating area.

4. Fill any empty looking corners with large plants and soft up-lights. Add a decorative, folding screen for a fuller look.

5. Place your lamps to evenly and softly light your seating area. Use additional lighting to accent your artwork, collections and accessories.

6. Create a focal point on the coffee table by elevating one of your favorite accessories on a stack of several books (sans covers). This will give your treasure more presence. Then add a low, full green plant or a blooming orchid and a couple of large, glowing candles. If you like a fuller look, use a decorative tray or runner underneath.

7. Lastly, be sure to decorate the top half of your room (from the furniture up), with tall plants, window treatments, artwork and that wall color. The room will feel considerably larger, more interesting and most importantly finished!

These few changes will make all the difference so you can start enjoying living in a beautiful home!

Product Description

A Salt Lamp will cleanse the air around you via natural ionization. An organic, alternative and natural means of improving health.Air quality is extremely important to our health and happiness. Some call negative ions The Vitamins of the Air? By using Salt Crystal lamps, we can easily improve our environment, not only thorough the ionizing effects of the lamp but through the beautiful light they cast in a room! It is highly recommended to use them near a TV or computer, in a designated smoking room and an air-conditioned room. Modern life is stressful on the body. Just as more and more people are investigating the quality of the water and food we ingest, the quality of the air we breathe is extremely important to health and wellness. It is said we breathe in over 80 kilos of air each day. That is the equivalent of an Olympic sized swimming pool!

This product is awesome. I love and have ordered 3 now. I choose the seller, Black Tai Salt Company and have been so happy with their service, shipping and product. The product is beautiful! I love it and bought 2 more for gifts. Black Tai Salt Company has THE BEST customer service I have ever dealt with. They are a great company. I plan to order another one, even larger soon and I will be sure to use Black Tai Salt Company. I love these salt lamps, they have a beautiful glow, are unique and the have a nice weight to them. Everyone that has seen mine wants one, they are beautiful.

Well I’d say this is definitely one of the oddest things I own now. Neat in appearance the rock itself has a milky pink color to it. Add the electric bulb inside (a decent sized one in mine but apparently random according to the other reviews) and that milky pink turns into a shadowy red. Very unique lighting as 2-3 of these lights a room well enough for activity but dark enough for that special privacy *wink*.

Only issue I had is that the "beautiful" wooden bottom (bottom rung wood poorly screwed to the bottom of the rock itself) which was not exactly easy to detach from the rock. When I took it out of the box the bulb was loose inside of the hollow of the rock and could have shattered during it’s journey. Besides this excellent timely delivery, perfect product… what else do you need right?

This is an interesting all-natural product deep from the bowels of the earth. The light source inside makes this rock salt glow beautifully. It is a very nice touch in any room.

I ordered 2 of these salt lamps…the first one came and is wonderful. The warming glow is beautiful. I had to contact the seller to find out where the second one was. It finally arrived and was NOTHING as expected. Not even the same style. It is cut off on the top and has a tealight type metal cup in it. Which I don’t understand the purpose of since it is an electrical lamp and no candle is necessary for it’s use.

Both lamps are running in my home now and we are hoping to find the results as described.

Home decorating is one of the keys to making the most out of a home. Do it right and you can turn a pedestrian home into a castle.

Really good interior designers interview family members prior to making a plan and recommendations for changes in a home’s interior design and decoration. You and your family can benefit if you take the same approach when you’re in a do it yourself mode. It doesn’t matter whether you are moving to a new home and have a big project or are just freshening up one room. Family interviews are the place to start.

What Activities Need to be Accommodated?

Large project or small, begin by figuring out how your family is going to use the space. Let’s assume we’re talking about a whole house. Meet with each family member and ask them how they feel about an array of things. Don’t forget to answer for yourself, too.

Consider the following issues with family members:

1. Will reading be a popular activity?

2. TV and movie viewing?

3. Playing electronic games?

4. Computer use for homework or business?

5. Sleepovers for the younger generation?

6. Sewing?

7. Furniture refinishing?

8. Carpentry and wood working projects?

9. Dinner parties?

10. Is there something new a family member would like to try if there were a decent spot for it? (I do hope your son doesn’t tell you he’d like to learn to play the drums! The violin was bad enough.)

11. Will the activities be done by someone alone or will a group be involved?

12. Do you or your husband need to be nearby to oversee the activity?

13. Is having it occur within view of (or out of site of) something else important?

Obviously, there are going to be unique questions per the circumstances of your family. If you make a list and ask appropriate questions, the improvements on your home will lead to happy family living.
