Give Your Home a Red Carpet Makeover

Give Your Home a Red Carpet MakeoverThe Oscars have everyone talking about red carpet fashion, and which celebrities did and didn't pull off their looks. To make sure your home stays on the best-dressed list, keep these words in mind: glitz, glamour, and luxury.

Crystal and mirrors are two high-impact ways to instantly transform your space.  Light fixtures dripping in crystal, cut glass candle holders, and reflective surfaces are a surefire way to add that sense of drama to your home.  Groupings of mirrors hung in a thoughtful way can add depth to any space and send light traveling to make the room seem larger—or was that just the flash of the paparazzi?

Rich and saturated tones can make any room feel like the VIP party. Look for plum tones and deep grays that have blue or purple undertones. Even rich browns can add glamour. Fabrics should have a luxurious feel to them—think faux furs, cashmere blends, and silken velvets. You don’t have to go overboard with them, either. It can be as simple as a throw over an ottoman, table runner, or some throw pillows to create the effect.

If you follow these decorating tips, you'll have an Oscar-worthy room for entertaining--no gold statue necessary!
