Newsletter2009 The concept of green design has expanded to include new ways to recycle. The recent strain in our economy has raised consciousness not only to clean up our planet but to decrease wasteful spending in our homes and practice financial caution. Now that the internet can provide any information or product we desire, the possibilities can be overwhelming not to mention time consuming. This justifies the use of design professionals more than ever to avoid costly mistakes. Loma Home Designs can help streamline this process with our new pre-approved Resource List to get you started. We can share many creative ideas with our clients to refresh their space without needing a bailout plan.  Rearranging the furniture plan and adding some new accessories can add new life to a tired room. Take out all of the accessories you own and decide which ones you love. The rest can be stored or given away. A theme will emerge from your favorites and if placed properly you will be amazed at the results. A print you forgot about from a previous vacation can re-emerge with a new frame. Murals Your Way has over 5000 images to pick from and comes many sizes. You can provide your own image or even add the family pet into a mural from the collection for fun. Just because your old furniture may be dated or shabby the simple act of reupholstery can create a new look. This is a great way to recycle and having the guidance to select the right fabric that is durable and cost effective is critical. Our friends at Willow have worked hand in hand with us over the years to provide the highest quality coupled with outstanding customer service for our clients.
