Balance Your Home Decor With Vases!

by Forschler's Home Center

Sometimes we look at a room in the house and we think: “something is missing here! There are too many blank spaces.” A good way to resolve this feeling is to add some accent décor; vases can do a great job! Here are some tips on how to match vases to your homedécor:

For a big space, like in a corner of the living room, using a single big vase is trendy. Add some faux flowers and/or long branches to personalize it!

If you have many medium or small vases and they have a similar look, they will make a bigger impact and seem more important if you keep them in the same area.

For a vintage look, add off-white or beige vases.

To add some punch to a room, colorful ones will do the trick!

Be Creative For Memorial Day

by Forschler's Home Center

Memorial Day weekend is the perfect occasion to gather everyone you love to honor people who died while in the military service. Maybe some of them were in your family circle; take advantage of this special day to remember what they did for your country. Make this day a perfect moment to spend time with your close friends and family. What better way to have a good time with people we love than talking and eating a good meal around a beautifully decorated table, within the theme of the Memorial Day?

5 tips to succeed in preparing a Memorial Day table:

1)   Cook beforehand

Make the most of the time with your guests, get ahead! As soon as possible during the day, cut peppers into strips, homemade sauces ... simmer sauces in bowls and place them in the refrigerator. Also you can make chicken and meat skewers. You will just have to take them out in good time.

2)   Multiply tastes

Forget skewers from the supermarket, as they are bland and uninviting.

Lean rather towards ribs, chicken wings or meat slices, etc.

Just as well, add some sausages and match your chicken or meat with a slice of bacon, harmonized with mashed potatoes or runner beans for side dishes. In addition, make marinades with some spices and herbs such as mint, coriander, basil, oregano, thyme.

3)   Incorporate some marinades and sauces

To provide relief texture and give a good taste to your grilled, mix different marinades.

For example, you can mix soy sauce, honey and coriander.

N.B. honey is cooked with meat sauces, but it is just as good as fish sauces.

Do not forget the cold sauces for meat lovers. Also, add a lighter yogurt sauce and mint to join vegetables. Finally, on the table’s corner, put mayonnaise and ketchup, as always acclaimed.

4)   Don’t forget exoticism

Squeeze limes to make a marinade, use coconut milk to sweeten a sauce and season your dishes with a pinch of pepper.

Do not hesitate to prick your skewers on a pineapple cut in half.

5)   Create your personalized dessert

To end your meal, the dessert has to be light and creative. We recommend some fruit jars with cream or exotic fruit salad and ice coconut balls.

Nevertheless, you have the opportunity to be creative!

Think up braised fruits. Hand out sheets of aluminum to your guests and ask them to make their own selection. Besides it's fun!

Vary pleasures by mixing mango wedges, melons, apples or apricots. Prepare even skewers of fresh fruit. Finally, end your evening with skewers of marshmallow to melt on the barbecue and dip them in melted chocolate for food lovers.

Don’t forget the right cocktail!

DECORATE YOUR LIVING ROOM WITH AN ORGANIC STYLE

Friday, 1 May 2015

by Forschler's Home Center

In 2015, trending living rooms are mostly oriented towards a refined and natural style.

This year, neutral color palettes and organic materials are favored. Indeed, exposed wood, stone walls or a warm fireplace at the heart of the room are decorations that keep modern comfort.

Adopting an organic style living room doesn’t mean a less luxurious lifestyle. It’s just about embracing aesthetics that are unpretentious, elegant and closer to nature.

Your home is your haven; a place to rest, nest and simply relax. When you have a natural connection to your home, you feel immediately comfortable.

How to create an organic style?

With a more “organic” approach to home decor, you can establish a subtle yet notable flow between your interior space and the great outdoors. More than that, you can show off your naturally good taste and personal style in a way that looks effortless and feels right.

Two main ideas to incorporate organic elements at home:

1) You can mix some materials:

One of the main keys of organic style is mixing elements. Think rustic wood slab tabletops with earthy metal bases. You can add a piece of wood furniture, maybe something with a highly distressed finish incorporates rich, to give an organic character. Feel free to mix wood and metal with leather accent pieces, too. In addition, you can incorporate natural plants highlighted with a simple home accent urn.

2) You can pile on the textile:

Blend seagrass baskets in the corner, a wool poof, a braided rug that’s perfectly imperfect, textures and even in the most subtle tones.

Bright idea: The latest in area rugs and poofs offers a new spin on organic style by incorporating hair-on-hide leather, cowhide patchwork designs and more. The look is rich, the feel decadent and the mood: home on the range.
