How to Decorate with Neutrals
01.21.16
Design by a Chameleon
We love those beautiful white rooms, however it can be tricky decorating with only neutral colors. Here are some simple ways to keep the design of your home interesting and beautiful while using only neutral colors.
Hues
Using varying hues of the same color gives your neutral room personality and depth. Using a broad range of shades from the same palette keeps the look cohesive and ties it all together if used throughout the whole house.

Texture
The more textures that you add, to walls, couches, beds, tables, the more interest you add to the design. Layering textures with pillows and blankets adds a rich element. You can also add textures with ceramics, rugs, and accent pieces.

Metals, Woods and Plants
Plants, metal and wood elements serve as a great way to mix up the style while still staying in a neutral zone. Adding live plants to your décor can give a nice pop of color to keep things lively.

Architecture
Accentuate architecture or find furniture pieces with tasteful lines and architecture. If your house boasts beautiful architectural features, make sure that you highlight them by styling around them to make them stand out.

Stress Free in One Hour
01.20.16
Feeling stressed out from work or life, and as a result suffer from aches and pains? We have a secret tip that we haven’t wanted to share for fear it will become too popular: we adore Olala Reflexology in Westminster.
This no frills reflexology studio is where you can go for a full body, deep tissue type massage for just $20 an hour. Here’s the thing: you’ll be in a room with a bunch of people, you’ll keep your clothes on, and some people fall asleep and snore, so there’s that.
The rest is heavenly. In one hour, they will massage your head, shoulders, arms, hands, calves and feet, shoulder blades and back. They can even crack your back so that you feel so much better. It’s best to wear yoga type pants, a tank top and shoes you can easily remove.
You’ll be expected to leave a tip, and it’s well deserved. They work hard. Call ahead to make a reservation and they stay open late—until 10 p.m. nightly, so it’s easy to get in.
Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
9950 Bolsa Ave., Suite F in Westminster. 714.775.8588.
