To compensate for the lack of sunshine in northern-exposed spaces, especially since certain paint colors seem to just disappear on the walls, a great hue to use is a peach or an off-white with peach undertones. This color mimics the sun’s rays and will make your space feel as if it’s drenched in warm natural light.
Picture rails. A picture rail lets you change your art display whenever the mood strikes, with no need to hammer a new nail every time you want to move a photo. Installing picture rails is relatively easy. All you need is a screwdriver and a level. In a tight foyer or hall, these ledges also can act as a place to set down keys, mail and other small items instead of having to squeeze in a full-depth shelf or console.
While kilims and their Native American counterparts were traditionally used for applications as diverse as saddle covers and winter bedding, today you’ll see them in Western households as accent pillows and rugs. Beautiful handmade pillows by rural women’s co-ops and international artisans are a great way to bring these goods into your home.
