Lifestyle: 5 Easy Tips for Earth Day

KORHANI home — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:35:52 +0000

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!

Home & Fashion: Pastel Pretty

KORHANI home — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:16:01 +0000

As we spring into warm-weather season, it’s officially time to put away those midnight blacks, dark browns and jewel tones, instead, opt for uplifting and soft pastels. Paired perfectly with florals, these two trends are made for each other. Take your colour inspiration from blooming tulips, cotton candy at country fairs and of course, Pinterest.

Home Style: Before & After

KORHANI home — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:00:44 +0000

While some may argue that an all white room is chic, others might say bor-ing! If you agree with the latter, breathe some life into a plain white room by adding playful pops of color.

After: arm chair in Cherry, jossandmain.com; Sandwell rug, KORHANI home at Rona; floral pillow, Zinc Door.

When you have the itch for change, just switch the key pieces with a different accent color. Easily and affordably switch out your rug, throw pillows or vase for something fresh and new.

Home Décor: From Indoor Winter Living to Outdoor Spring Living

KORHANI home — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:09:45 +0000

As the snow melts and the smell of spring is in the air, we anticipate spending more time living outside – on patios, at cottages and in our backyards. When decorating on a budget, it’s great to purchase items that are stylish but also serve you year-round.

Treated seats or tables: These tree stump tables bring a natural feel into your family room but are versatile enough to move into your backyard once spring rolls around.

Two-faced rug: UV-treated rugs can handle weather conditions but are also stylish enough to have inside your kitchen. Pull this rug out to your patio to maximize its functionality – while being assured it won’t fade. Flip-over for an inverse colour combo. korhani.com

Storage bench: Move this wooden bench with wicker storage baskets from your front foyer onto your deck or back porch. Great for storing outdoor toys, gardening tools or pet products. target.ca
