Living Easy
Summertime (when the living is easy) is a song that was written by George Gershwin. As the title implies, the summer is a time for casual living and a lot of relaxation time. Summer is finally here and that’s great news for those of us who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors! Whether your prefer sports or leisure activities – here’s hoping the days unfold just the way you wish.
Some of the best summer days are spent getting together with friends, and family for fun, food, refreshments and relaxing conversation.
Here are three furniture items that say “Summer”
A lift top coffee table for eating in front of the television. A place to serve finger foods and chips and drinks around the sofa for everyone to enjoy.
Cloud seating: An unstructured sectional that is like sitting on a cloud, soft and plush!
Reclining chair : Throw up your feet and read a good book and relax. Listen to music and put your drink on a tray.
Whether you are at the cottage or at home, I hope you enjoy the long awaited Summer : My favorite season of the year!

Using Artwork In Your Home Decor
Whether you are a collector of original art or like to showcase your own photographs, displaying artwork is a great way to spruce up your walls, show off your personality, and create a flow of colour in your home decor.
Here are a few easy tips for Using Artwork In Your Home Decor:
- Hang It Low – When hanging artwork, make sure to position it so the centre is at eye level. If hanging it over furniture such as a sofa or table, the bottom of the frame or canvas should be only 8-16 inches above your piece of furniture.
- Set The Mood – As with all things, the colours in your artwork will set the mood in your room. Use soft neutrals for a calming effect and bright colours for a lively, cheerful mood.
- Placement – When deciding where to hang your artwork, look around the room as you enter it and see where your eye lands first. This will determine your focal point and the best place to hang your art to create the most impact.
- Spread The Love – Hang artwork in every room of your home (yes, even the bathroom). There’s nothing more depressing than a blank wall. Wall art is a perfect finishing element that helps pull a space together and make it feel complete.
- Mix Things Up – For a striking display, mix different scaled pieces together. Plan your layout on the floor in front of your wall first and play around with the arrangement until you achieve the visually balanced look you want.
KEEP CALM AND ART ON – Using artwork in your home decor doesn’t have to be an expensive venture. The most important thing is to buy and display what you love and surround yourself with pieces that will provide you and your guests with great pleasure on a daily basis.

How to Mix and Match and Furniture
In the past less used to be more, however today “more is more!” I don’t know about you but designing your space with all natural colors can sometimes look very plain and simple. Buying pieces for your home can be difficult, which is why sometimes most people like to choose natural colors and get matching sets for their space. However I am here to give you some nice easy tips that can help you make your space look more vibrant and interesting, but still elegant.
One of the best things you can do is to start with the main piece in the room, like a sofa in a living room. This piece can be a natural color which will be the main focus of you room. Using this piece you can now add smaller accent pieces that can pop in your space. Accent chairs are a really good way to mix and match furniture because you can make the chairs in a brighter more vibrant color which will create a nice contrast within your space.
Another great way to mix and match your furniture is by choosing some pieces that will complement each other, this can work by making sure that all your pieces in your space “work” together.
- Look at fabric, you can chose the same material but in different colors and patterns
- Keep the style of your pieces the same, for example; traditional legs or clean modern lines, this can tie the room together even if you don’t match all the same pieces from the same set.
These are some easy ways to create a unique and different look within your space by just using these simple mix and match tricks!

Furniture Size & Scale
The proper scale is extremely important when you design any room.
One improper sized piece of furniture can ruin even the most beautiful design.
In order to place your pieces of furniture correctly, it is a good idea to first do the floor plan.
At Decorium we have a special computer program where you can organize the room according to the size of pieces.
When you sketch out a room, you realized the different configurations available for it, as well as the proportion of the items that you need. Once you are aware of your options, you can decipher what is most suitable for your life style. For example, you can choose whether you want 2 sofas and 2 chairs, a sectional and 1 chair, sofa and loveseat, etc.
The whole idea is to set up your space with the right amount of furniture so that you can enjoy your room.
If you feel overwhelmed, you can always contact one of our design specialists and we will discuss your needs, sketch the rooms for you and help you put them together with beautiful furniture and accessories.

Getting Your ‘ZZZ’ – Choosing the Right Mattress For Your Sleeping Needs
For the most part, when decorating our bedrooms, we are willing to spend thousands of dollars to purchase the perfect, beautiful bedroom furniture. But when it comes to our mattress, we opt to shop around for the least expensive choices. And why not? It’s not like anybody’s going to see it, right? Well, they may not see it, but believe me, you’re definitely going to feel it!
Since we spend about one third of our lives in bed, skimping on our mattress is not an option. When we don’t get enough sleep, our bodies are not given the opportunity to regenerate and recharge, which is important to our overall health and well-being.
What we don’t realize is that, over time, we can develop health issues if we don’t choose a mattress that provides proper support while we sleep.
Marshall Mattress understands what makes a good night sleep possible.
Marshall Mattress invented the Pocket Coil Spring Mattress and has been the leading authority in this mattress system for over 118 years.
They build high-quality mattress products without the use of gels or foam encasements and feature natural and man-made materials like New Zealand wool, soy foams, eucalyptus fibers and sustainable lumber in their mattress foundations. Their mattresses are built like furniture; to last, but wear gradually over time.
Marshall Mattress understands that one type of mattress is not necessarily right for everyone and offers many different types and models to choose from; such as ‘Sleepmaker’, ‘Rest Assured’, and ‘Bespoke’ (to name a few). Each includes 4 to 6 models offering something different in “personal feel”, but all have a complete Pocket Spring Coil interior and each are built to offer the best in comfort and support.
Here at Decorium we have a large selection of Marshall Mattress models on display, and invite you to come visit our showroom to try each of them out, to see which one will best suit your personal sleeping and comfort needs.
Take it from me, as a proud owner of my very own Marshall Mattress, I can honestly say that it’s such a pleasure to finally have a great night’s sleep and to wake up each morning feeling rested and refreshed!
