Get it together in your home

By George Home

Darting down the aisles of my local Wal-Mart, I found GEORGE. It wasn’t that I was looking for a new home style, it just happened. And it all started with something quite small. For me, it was the Hurricane Lamp (who knows what piece will inspire you). The rest just fell into place and my home really came together. With practical design solutions like decorative storage baskets, I learned you don’t have to spend big to make a big difference. You can stylishly stash away everyday clutter and have money left over. With inspiring colours, fabrics and accents, the entire collection is designed to coordinate all the different looks in your home. GEORGE makes it easy to bring out the best in your bedroom, bathroom and dining area — transforming houses full of individual pieces into fully coordinated homes.

To get that refreshing, tranquil look in the bathroom, start with a clean slate and set the mood right. Step one — choose a style. Whether your space calls for a nature-inspired design or a more contemporary look, GEORGE’s bathroom collections come suited to taste. Add a splash of colour with new towels — GEORGE’s oversized bath towel comes in 15 mood-enhancing tones, choose from Sky Blue to Chocolate Brown. And because they’re at Wal-Mart, you know they’re a great price (that means you can accent with primary and secondary colours too). Then, experiment with the practical counter-top accessories to create the ultimate bathroom oasis for you.

A dream bedroom starts with the bed — the centerpiece of your room. Create a focal point by coordinating your throw pillows, duvet cover and sham. Layer it up and make your bedroom pop. You choose the style and from there it’s easy to pick up all the accessories that match. The designs are arranged by colour, from Tan-Chocolate to Blue-Grey. Start with the full comforter set, throw in the accent pillows and finish it off with the matching area rug. The new GEORGE line comes with the freedom to start as big or small as you like.

You know the gorgeous tabletop design you want, the one with matching plates and colour-coordinated settings. It’s the one right off the cover of Home Magazine. Now, it doesn’t take a whole crew to set up a center-fold table spread. Just replace your jumbled placemats and old dishware with some sets and symmetry. A GEORGE 16-piece dinner set can start things off nicely. And you can follow it up with the coordinated coasters, placemats, runners and servers. Make all the individual pieces work together so one thing compliments the next. This new GEORGE line makes it easy to show off your great taste.

Whether you’re entertaining or living day-to-day, the idea behind a cohesive home is simple. It’s about style solutions that work for your life. And it’s empowering to know that great design ideas are closer than you think, right at your neighborhood Wal-Mart. Experience the new way of decorating — GEORGE can show how with just a few affordable pieces and some creativity, your home can really come to life.
