Complete your wall decor with Decorative PlatesWritten by Johann Erickson
Continued from page 1
Match your decorative plates with cabinets, doorknobs, and furniture hardware. With wide variety available, you can also tailor them to table lamps and other light fixtures. Since wall plates come in all shapes and sizes, you can match them to curves of your furniture placement. Matching will cleverly enhance featured pieces in a room without distracting from their appeal.
In addition to decorative plate style, you may want to consider changing switch itself. Dimmer switches are available as dials, slides, touch pads, and combinations of each. The ability to adjust lighting in each room of your home provides you a way to highlight specific room features or set appropriate mood.
Decorative plates, often taken for granted, are a versatile design element. They can be romantic, sophisticated, sleek, or fun. First decide what you need your decorative plate to do for a room, and then shop for it as seriously as you would shop for furniture, wall coverings, or carpet.

Seasonal sun catchers are also fun and easy to decorate with. Choose a sun catcher for each holiday, or change your sun catcher with every season. It's a quick way to bring a bit of holiday decor to a room without a lot of work or dragging boxes of holiday decorations out of storage.
Sun catchers aren't limited to windows. You can find sun catchers for your garden, indoor plants, and even for rear view mirror of your car. Use sun catchers as garden stakes, or to add color to your flower garden in off-season.
While glass sun catchers are most popular, don't forget about crystal sun catchers that reflects prisms of light, and translucent stones such as thinly sliced agate that make gorgeous natural sun catchers. There are sun catchers with pressed flowers, beads, gemstones, and even character themes for a child's room.
Let your imagination run wild, you can find a sun catcher to reflect any decorating idea.
