improvement projects
involve hanging decorative
items, such as photo frames
or shelving. Homeowners
frequently wrestle with
nails, screws and hanging
hardware, perhaps creating
more holes in their walls
than is necessary to get
items level and in the right
spots. Instead of playing a
guessing game of fguring
out where the hanging
holes or hooks are located
on the back of items, use
your offce equipment to
make life easier. Make a
copy of the back of the
item you're trying to hang
with a printer/scanner or
a copy machine, making
sure to copy the item to
full scale. Print the copy at
full size and use it to drill
the hanging holes. If you
don't have access to a copy
machine or scanner, use a
piece of tape to measure
the distance between the
hanging holes on the back
of the frame. Stick the
tape to the wall and then
put your nails or screws
at the ends of the tape.
Did you know?
Just because youre a
renter doesnt mean you need
to settle for bland, boring
dcor. You can make more of
your space in an inexpensive
yet trendy way.
Dont know where to start,
dont worry. Here are ten top
home decor trends online real
estate experts Homes.com
and ForRent.com uncovered
after surveying more than 140
home design experts across
the country on the years
biggest home trends.
1

Ten Home Dcor Trends for Your Rental
(Content from StatePoint)

Go Vert i cal :
Nothing perks up a
room like a fresh coat of
paint. If your rental property
prohibits painting, use
temporary techniques to
create a gorgeous visual
landscape, such as your own
artwork.
3
Fal l i n Love
with Floral: Make
your apartment pop with
floral patterns. If thats
overwhelming, keep it subtle
with an accent pillow in the
den or bedroom.
4
Mix It Up with Metals:
Metallic shades are
not just for appliance nishes.
A great alternative to color,
they can be used as accents,
picture frames, vases, pillows
-- essentially anything youre
inspired to give a unique look.
5
Brighten Up: If
your space is looking
dull, brighten it up with a
splash of color. Whether its
the smallest objects or an
entire wall, color accents can
drastically change a rooms
appearance, giving it that pop
youve been looking for. This
year, its all about purple --
Radiant Orchid, the Pantone
color of the year, to be exact.
6
Organize: The
ki t chen i s of t en
overlooked when it comes to
organization. Storage bins
and labels in the pantry keep
snacks, condiments and other
food items separate and easily
accessible. A command center
at the front of your home
should include a place to keep
keys, mail, sunglasses and the
other things you need most.
7
Bring the Outside
I n: Pl ant s add
gorgeous depth and texture to
a home. Incorporate different
shapes, sizes, and colors for
visual appeal.
8
Cl as s i c and
Contemporary: If
you lean towards a more
contemporary style, include
vintage pieces for an ultra-
updated appearance. These
elements create contrast for
a unique look -- plus, you can
nd a lot of classic pieces for
great prices at thrift stores.
9
L u x u r i o u s
Lighting: Sometimes
rentals can be less-than-
luminous. Add temporary
decorative light xtures so
you arent left in the dark.
10
Pl ay wi th
Textures: Dont
buy all your furnishings from
the same place. Instead, mix
and match different textures
and styles to create an
intriguing atmosphere, rather
than the cold, uniformed feel
of a furniture store.
For additional decorating
tips, visit the Idea Gallery
at Homes.com. If you have
your own dcor ideas, use
#HomeMoments to share
them on Twitter.
Theres no place
like home, so
take it from the
pros -- its worth
the effort to
make your rental
property a great
space.
Upgrading Your Kitchen? Think Electric
(Content from StatePoint)
Whether youre a passionate chef and
a regular host, or you cook simple meals
for just your family, you know that a
highly serviceable kitchen can mean the
difference between easy meal prep and a
headache. A big part of this equation is
your cooking appliances.
If youre in the market for a new
cooktop, oven or range, dont neglect
electric options. Even ardent gas fans will
be interested to learn how new innovations
in electric cooking appliances are making
kitchens more functional and versatile.
With that in mind, here are some things
to consider before upgrading your kitchen
with new appliances:
Easy cleaning: Time spent in the
kitchen crafting meals for your loved ones
can be a pleasurable experience. But few
would say the same for cleaning. Opt for
appliances that offer stress-free cleaning
functions. Electric ovens, for example,
tend to be much easier to clean than the
gas variety with the benet of powerful self-
cleaning at the touch of a button. Also look
for features such as removable glass doors,
that can make cleanup a cinch.
Even cooking: Roasting a chicken
tonight? An electric oven means less
monitoring of your dinner, as such appliances
boast more even cooking with the added
advantage of convection fans. Cooking on
the stove-top? Electric heat can be just as
or more precise and consistent with modern
pot-sensing technology, high power elements
and quality cookware.
Versatility: When shopping for
appliances, keep fast, efcient cooking top
of mind. For example, ILVE offers a range
that features induction cooking technology,
which uses heat generated from magnetics
instead of coils for the fastest heat transfer
of any cooking surface.
The ILVE Induction range is equipped
with child safety features, high power
cooking elements, and pot-
sensor technology. Additionally,
a scope of functions can be
performed with the multi-
function convection oven,
included rotisserie accessory
and full-width warming drawer.
To learn more, visit www.
ilveappliances.com.
Craftmanship: For a more
functional, beautiful kitchen, its
all about nding the intersection
of cutting edge technology and
craftsmanship.
If youre upgrading your
ki t chen don t make t he
assumption that a gas cooktop
or oven is superior to electric.
Explore new models and options
that offer both performance and
exibility.
