Lifestyle: 5 Easy Tips for Earth Day

Posted on April 22, 2013 by KORHANI home

April 22 is International Earth Day. It’s an annual reminder of how our actions directly affect this planet we live on. It’s our job to take care of this world and with several small actions, together we can all make a positive difference!

So what are some easy things we can do that over time can cause change?

1) Reduce carbon emissions: Walk, bike or car pool to work.

2) Use natural cleaning products that are environmentally friendly – Green Works has effective cleaners that are safe to use around children and animals.

3) Buy EcoLogo products: the Canadian government has developed a program with stringent environmental standards. We have several stylish Eco-certified area rugs available at RONA.

4) Go vintage shopping: buying second hand items is fun, trendy and reduces manufacturing waste of new products.

5) Ditch the plastic water bottles and use a reusable one! The stats are mind-boggling about water bottle waste. Read more at National Geographic.

Happy Earth Day! Help keep it clean! Share your Earth Day tips for a healthy planet!

Spotlight: Edie Sedgwick the ultimate femme fatale

Posted on February 7, 2013 by KORHANI home

When I think femme fatale, Marilyn Monroe, Edie Sedgwick and Angeline Jolie all come to mind. Tragic and seductive, these women often charmed their lovers into compromising situations.

Actress, model & socialite, Edie Sedgwick

Our Belle du Jour Collection is also called the Femme Fatale Collection because it was inspired by sexy and captivating women, dark reds, lace and lingerie. Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol’s muse in the ’60s, projected that allure to the tee. With her destructive death at 28 – unsure to be either accident or suicide – Sedgwick’s femme fatale lifestyle got the best of her.

All lace patterns are from KORHANI home’s Bell du Jour/Femme Fatale line.

Beware the Black Friday

Posted on November 22, 2012 by KORHANI home

Every year, the day following American Thanksgiving, stores open extra early and offer shoppers wild sales to kick off the Holiday season. It has become the busiest shopping day of the year with people waiting inline the night before for stores such as Walmart, Target and Macy’s. No one is sure of the original reason the day is called ‘Black Friday’ but many people have reasons of their own why the title is appropriate.

Will you be scouting KORHANI home products this Friday?!

Beware the extra traffic, long checkout lines and scrambling shoppers when visiting your favourite shops this weekend. Stay safe and enjoy the shopping extravaganza!

The Power of Neutral

Posted on November 20, 2012 by KORHANI home

Colour tends to be the first design element considered when decorating. A neutral pallet, though thought to be colourless and dull can actually be the pillars of a most striking and inviting environment! Neutral colours give you a wide open canvas to play with powerful furniture, bold art work and cool accessories! Take a look at these examples of how powerful a neutral pallet can really be!

Elegant, striking and classical, neutral has a hidden power!

KORHANI home has an ongoing number of rugs to match any neutral decor pallet!!

A Fine Balance: Elements of Design

Posted on November 18, 2012 by KORHANI home

Design elements are crucial to the development of a beautiful home. These elements are the back bones to any great piece of artwork, allowing you too, to make your home masterful. Balance is Sunday’s feature design element; symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial.

Symmetrical balance is typical of traditional interiors. Signifying features such as objects, colours and patterns are arranged around the room based on a mirrored vertical axis. This creates tranquility and steadiness.

Asymmetrical balance is more common in interior design today. Asymmetry is achieved by arranging dissimilar objects, colours and patterns, equal in visual weight around the room, while feeling balanced from all sides. Asymmetry suggests movement, and leads to more lively interiors.

Radial symmetry is when all the components of a design are organized around a central point, radiating outward.
