Holiday Season Decor
Holiday Season Decor
Christmas might be over, but the festivities shall carry on! This Holiday Season, feel free to ditch the traditional red-and-green colour scheme. Decorate your home using this season’s unexpected elements such as gold, glitter, mirror, and even feathers, for a modern, glamorous look.
Give your tree a fun, rustic look by using ornaments made out of burlap. It’s minimalistic, but with a touch of personality and texture. A fun note to remember is that your Holiday Decorating should not be limited to only the living room. Let the decorations overflow to every nook and cranny of your house such as the entryway, staircase, and dining room table. When decorating your home for the Holidays, you have the liberty of showing off your creativity and quirkiness.
So, whether your holiday decor it neutral and minimalistic, or you choose to ‘Glam-it-up’ with sparkle and colour, just remember to get into the Holiday spirit and HAVE FUN!!!

Winter Sectional
Winter is here and what better way to make your place to look cozy than with a beautiful sectional in your family room. Providing a place where the whole family can relax and watch a movie, having a sectional with a micro fiber cover – which is very durable and easy to keep clean – will soften the area and give you and your loved ones a place to snuggle up to.

How to make the best out of your living room space
Ever thought your living room is missing something? Consider these factors when shopping for your ideal living room.
Firstly, having movable seating is key. Who doesn’t love a swivel chair? It can face the sofa for a more social setting, the TV, or even looking out a window. Another option is a small ottoman that can be placed under tables or desks; great for bringing them out just when you need them.
Next, what is your focal point? Arrange your furniture around the focal point to create conversation areas.
For example, a decent sized area rug can be a great center piece, where furniture can be placed all around it. This way, your sofa doesn’t always have to be pushed up against a wall or squished in a corner. The focal point can also be a fireplace, big screen TV or work of art. If possible, try to accommodate the room to seat at least 6 people.
Also, the more you mix and match geometric shapes with organic ones, the more interesting the design of your space will turn out! Come up with a creative solution for your home with these selections from Decorium!
Lastly, don’t forget about lighting. Stray away from sticking to one pot light overhead. Add select lighting for reading, watching TV and parties.

Space Planning Solutions
When we are talking about proper height and furniture spacing we need to know the acceptable measurements for the furniture layout in the space. These are as follows:
Dinning room
Ideally, the distance between any walls and the dining room table, or any other furniture in the room, should be at least 36” apart to allow furniture to slide in and out easily. To improve the flow of traffic in the room, provide at least 48” distance between any furniture and the entrance. The ability slide chairs, with or without arms, easily under the table makes the dining experience a whole lot better for everyone. To guarantee you’ll achieve this with your dining table, provide about 7” vertical space between the chairs and table’s apron.
Distance between chandelier and dining table depends on what look you want to create in the room. Low hanging chandeliers create a modern look, but be careful! If you hang it too low, you will clutter up the look or interfere with ability to convers. On the other hand, hanging a chandelier too high will reduce the integrated feel it brings to the room. The acceptable distance is to hang the chandelier between 24” to 32” from the dining table. To allow chairs to be pull out without any obstruction a rug should be span about 36” past all sides of the dining table. If you have the space, 24” distance between dining chairs will allow them to slide in and out effortlessly.
Living room
The distance between your sofa and coffee table should be around 18” to give enough room for legs or to be able to reach out to the coffee table with no strain. The best distance between any seating furniture should be between 3.5” to 10” to allow people’s conversation to flow. Ideally, side tables should be the same height as the sofa’s arm, so the people can reach to the side table with no strain. Distance between TV and sofa depends on the size of the TV. Check out a TV size to distance calculator online for the best results. Distance between the wall and rug should be 24” in a large room and 12”- 18” in a smaller room. At least the two front legs of the sofa should rest on the rug.
Bedroom:
Side tables should be placed no more than 6” away from each side of the bed. 30”- 42” clear space is preferable around the perimeter the bed.
In conclusion: Do not over crowded the room with furniture. Do not aligned the furniture to the walls. Group the furniture together and put them away from the walls.

Velvet
This season the most popular and trendy fabric is velvet, believe it or not!
Velvet is a very luxurious fabric, mostly made out of polyester, and has a very soft and silky feel to it.
Of course, it comes in different colours, so you can use it for different types of furniture; as well as accessories, like pillows, throws etc.
Velvet also has different textures, like smooth, railroaded and crushed.
That fabric brings softness and luxury to any room in your house.
