Where do you go for inspiration? Where can you find great home decor ideas? There’s a sea of resources available – books, magazines, TV shows, online articles and of course – blogs!!! I recommend that you check out lots of different sources and keep your mind open – creativity is everywhere! Never be afraid to try something different. Rigid decorating rules are gone…

Be Eclectic!

Today, we blend styles and make our homes a true reflection of who we are. It’s so fun and easy! Designers call this the Eclectic Style – but what it really means is that the furniture and accessories you love don’t fit into a standard decorating genre like Country, Traditional or Southwestern. Good for you!

By bringing together a mix of furnishings, fabrics, finishes and objects from any number of periods and countries, it’s possible to create a totally unique environment. Just keep in mind that you may need a neutral wall/floor palette to support your diversity. And of course, in order to be successful, keep scale and proportion in mind. Dare to be original – but never go to extremes – you still want a put-together look.

Be Inspired!

The folks at Stoney Creek Furniture know design. They can help you find inspiration no matter what your decorating style. What’s more, they offer great seminars on all sorts of home decor topics. They bring in experts in everything from blinds to flooring and beyond! The sessions are free – and conveniently located at the store on Lewis and South Service Rd., Stoney Creek.
