Heating and cooling expert James Bentham is here to provide a couple of pointers, not just on how to integrate a practical element of your home into your design plans, but how those elements can actually become useful accent pieces. *** One element of home decor that is rarely discussed in interior design magazines is the heating and cooling system in use in the home. This vital part of the home’s infrastructure is generally overlooked since the primary element is usually located in a basement or even outside the main building. However, the component parts of the heating and cooling system can often serve as accents to the existing decor or as focal points for living areas, making them a useful element of the interior decorator’s toolkit. Vent covers and air diffusers While most homeowners with a central air conditioning system choose standard wall and floor vent covers by default, designer vent covers and air diffusers can add a splash of vibrant colour to complement the overall room design. Homeowners can choose from a wide range of colors and styles including painted metal, natural wood and elegant nickel, brass or bronze metallic finishes. These versatile vent covers and diffusers can also be purchased in a variety of designer shapes and configurations to suit almost any home decor, from classic art deco to contemporary cutting-edge designs. As part of an overall decorating scheme, these small items can make a big impact on the appearance of any room and should not be overlooked when planning the decor for a new home or redesigning the interior of the existing home. traditional spaces design by seattle general contractor Paulsen Construction Services LLC Electric radiators These unsung heroes of the interior design world can easily blend into the background in neutral hues, but slim line electric radiators can also serve as beautiful and elegant accents to the decor inside the home.
