Home Decorator

The home decorator in your life no doubt has a passion for having their abode in a constant state of staging—prepared to be photographed at any instant or go on the market at any time. The good news is that they can never have enough décor, but the bad news is that not everything will fit with their style. So go with universally appealing items, like an Oxygen Pillow that is personalized to promote better sleep through optimal body alignment, and will also look great when showing off their “where the magic happens” primary bedroom. Local handmade art is also a good bet, such as a suncatcher to accentuate the natural light streaming in through a likely south-facing window. Or go with a psychedelic-looking, locally made acrylic pour painting that is sure to catch the eye’s gaze—and hold it. AS
