April is National Decorating Month

West Chester, PA, April 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- April is National Decorating Month, the perfect time to update or brighten your surroundings. Galla Studio in West Chester, Pennsylvania is celebrating by offering a free color planning consultation to new clients.

Galla Studio owner Jean Gallagher sees color planning as just one facet of creating the space of your dreams. Other considerations include the arrangement of your furnishings, the elimination or repurposing of items to make your space less cluttered and more enjoyable, and the selection of finishes to give your space the look and feel you desire.

Colors play a major role in any room. With the help of an interior designer and a color plan, you can make a room look larger or smaller, create a feeling of warmth or coolness, draw the eye to fantastic features and away from trouble spots, unify a collection of pieces, and add personality. Using color in decorating also allows you to change your space in large and small ways without depleting your savings.

“When decorating, don’t be intimidated by the word design,” encourages Ms. Gallagher. “Design simply means determining the most pleasing use of your belongings and suggesting additions to create a space that reflects your personality and serves your needs. A design plan will save you time and money in the long run.”
