Dreá Custom Designs Announces Enrollment of Trade Program
Custom Design Company offers exciting resources to the design trade
NEW ORLEANS – November 23, 2008 – Interior designers, contractors, architects, now have a new outlet for designer resources. Drea’ Custom Designs announces enrollment in new trade program. This program not only saves designers money on custom window treatments, but also offers great resources to increase sales.
“The resources are available to all designers, not just those who join our trade program” said Andrea Reynolds, Owner of Drea’ Custom Designs. Not only are designers eligible, but all professionals who are in the window treatment business. That would include architects, contractors, and buyers for department stores, furniture store owners, and interior decorators who have an established business.
“We offer a generous savings program to designers and other professionals who can verify their business. We have some great resources available now to assist designers when selling window treatments. We also carry an extensive line of designer fabrics from many top vendors. This is especially helpful for new designers just starting out, or who do not want to carry the extra expense of having separate accounts open with different vendors. ” said Reynolds.
One of the great things about Drea’ Custom Designs trade program is there is no cost involved. “With the help of the resources, I can give my clients an actual visual of what their window treatments will look like. This goes a long way from a sketch or a computer program. My clients can see firsthand the quality of the fabric and workmanship on the spot. I have actually increased my sales in window treatments 37% since I joined this program.” Lori Jackson, Skye Industries, LLC.

Warm up your décor this winter with exotic animal prints. Many décor styles can incorporate animal themes. Animal décor can work well with contemporary décor, as well as ethnic and traditional styles. Let’s take a look at how this style can work for you.
Animal themes can be introduced in different ways. You can add animal prints such as different hide designs. A few popular hide designs are leopard skin, tiger stripes, and the most popular zebra prints. You may also choose to add designs with actual animal images. You can find a number of pieces with animals incorporated on them. The most popular animal images found today are monkeys, giraffes, lions, and elephants.
If you are in doubt on where to begin, just start small. Add smaller scale animal items to your existing décor. Throw pillows are a great and rather inexpensive way to introduce the wild side into your home. You may also add small scale figurines to your rooms. Once you feel more comfortable, go ahead mix and mingle prints. Let all of the animals roam freely together in your home.
There is no limit to where you can incorporate the animal themes into your home. Every room from the bathroom to the bedroom can feel this additional spice. Animal print duvets are extremely popular in contemporary bedrooms, and also add an exotic feel to the space. Hand towels with animal print hides are great for your bathroom. A large variety of rugs and designer throw pillows are great for your living room and family rooms.
You’re ready to take that step and put some fresh color on the walls. With all the different choices available, which color will you choose? What shades? Well, before you make that final decision, consider how colors can actually change your space and the overall mood of your room.
Green is another relaxing color. The different shades of green can be used many ways. Lighter shades of green are great for bedrooms, living rooms, and great rooms. Dark greens are more masculine, and are popular in professional offices. Hospitals usually use green to help relax patients. Mid tone greens are great for kitchens.
For many Americans, there is a sincere desire to go green. However there is a strong lacking in knowledge of how to do so. It is easier than you think to go green. Here are a few tips to get you started on your green journey.
There are many things you can do today to start conserving energy. Start by replacing all of your light bulbs with florescent bulbs. It may be a little costly to do so, but you will be happy with the end results. Not only do florescent light bulbs last three times as long as standard bulbs, but they also produce a brighter light. Make sure all of your appliances have the energy star labels before you purchase them. Invest in a tank less water heater. Invest in draperies and shades lined with blackout lining. Blackout drapes will keep the cold air out of your home in the winter time and keep the heat out of your home in the summer time. Make sure your panels extend about six inches outside of your window for the best protection.
Eliminate paper waste. Use cloth dinner napkins and save on disposable paper products. Opt for dish towels instead of paper towels. Recycle whenever possible. Newspaper, aluminum cans, plastic, and glass bottles can all be recycled.
Save on water consumption. Never leave your water running while brushing your teeth or when waiting to get in the shower. If you have a leaky faucet, have it repaired as quickly as possible. You can waste gallons of water in a very short amount of time.
Going green is a gradual process. Make one tiny change every week and before you know it you will be living a total eco friendly life.
