Except that the setting, located near the Toronto International Film Festival’s new Bell Lightbox, is neither a private residence nor an event space. It’s a presentation sales centre for Bisha, a forthcoming hotel and condominium development.

The connection benefits everyone. Event organizers will get a beautifully designed party space. The developers get to promote their product to hip, affluent potential buyers – and any stars who show up lend their cachet to the development.

A perfect way to start would be to analyse the theme of your house and try to match the bathroom to the rest of your house but at the same time making it stand apart. Sound confusing?

Tips to decorating your bathroom

Make sure you firstly consider theme and colour, the two broadest yet important categories when decorating. Try and keep the theme the same as the rest of the house but change the colour for the bathroom.

]]> Tilt-top tables were the rage in England http://HomeHues.com/article.asp?articleid=93308 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:44 GMT http://HomeHues.com/article.asp?articleid=93308 Tilt-top tables were the rage in England.

Recently a friend mentioned she needed a table on which she could place a lamp and some antique “smalls” (collectibles). She didn’t want a reproduction, but she had no clue what type table she wanted. Visiting her home, I saw the furnishings were more in the style of the 18th century, so I showed her pictures of tilt-top tables that were common in that period both here and in England.
   
I advised her to look for a functional table that had character, nice lines, was in good condition and crafted of either walnut or mahogany, the more desirable woods when searching for period furniture. The two also are more expensive than, say, oak.

]]> Advice on decorating your home http://HomeHues.com/article.asp?articleid=92622 Thu, 8 Jul 2010 07:18 GMT http://HomeHues.com/article.asp?articleid=92622  When people don’t feel at home within their own four walls, trendy accessories, designer furniture and the newest lifestyle trends can’t do much to help. When decorating their homes, people should recognize that only those who consider themselves and their needs are happy when they return home.

“What is good for a person and what isn’t is played out to a large extent in the subconscious,” said Uwe Linke, a life psychologist and author from Munich. Linke said in order to find out why people don’t feel well in their homes, they need to do an honest assessment and the decisive question is: “Which decorative items fit me and which don’t?” People who are insecure feel better, for example, when their need for security is taken into account in the design of their homes.
