Home Decor & Interior Design


A Work of ART
Create a flooring masterpiece with the new Crossville® Color Blox, a dazzling new porcelain stone® tile that’s all about color and creativity. With a choice of over 20 evocative colors — like “Yellow Brick Road,” “Caboose” red, bluish-black “Night Night” and silvery “Slinky” — you can mix and match, create patterns or even accent a neutral floor; the combinations are endless. And because Color Blox is a Crossville® porcelain stone® tile, it is more durable than natural stone, slip-resistant, easy to clean and maintain, never needs sealing or waxing, and is environmentally responsible.

Add some Spice
Revamp your interior with the popular Nepal area rug from the HomeDecorators Collection. Geometric shapes and striking colors give these wool rugs a non-traditional flair. Like a piece of art for your floor, contemporary rugs enhance any decor. It's meticulously hand carved and specially crafted to produce the look of hand-knotted wool at an affordable price.

Affinity for Color
Benjamin Moore is ushering in a whole new era in paint history with the introduction of Aura waterborne interior premium paint. Extremely environmentally responsible paint, Aura’s very low volatile organic compound (VOC) formulation meets the country’s strictest VOC regulations without compromising on quality. Created to coincide with the advent of Aura, Benjamin Moore has also added an all-new color palette, The Affinity™ Color Collection, which is comprised of 144 versatile hues that work on their own or are uniquely harmonious with one another.

Beam me up
These polyurethane beams offer the look of real, richly grained wood at a fraction of the cost and weight and are easy to install. They add warmth and are so realistic that even designers will be fooled! All styles are light, three-sided and open-ended, allowing installation over existing structures. You can use these on the interior or exterior, with no maintenance. They are delivered paint-ready or already finished. Accessories, such as matching corbels and decorative straps, are also available.

Color galore
No matter what color inspires the beauty of your home, American Tradition paint (found only at Lowe’s) has an impressive selection of reds, blues, greens, yellows, whites and every other imaginable color. American Tradition makes it easy to select just the right color and coordinate an entire palette of colors through online photo galleries, color design center and interactive color wheel. American Tradition paint is easy to apply with guaranteed one-coat coverage. And no worry if you have small children — it stands up to even the most frequent washings. No wonder it’s the only paint rated a “Best Buy” for the past four years.

Environmentally Friendly Fire
Most notable among Heart & Home Technologies green pursuits is its invention of the direct-vent gas fireplace in the mid-1980’s by Heat & Glo®, which revolutionized the hearth industry by permitting safe gas fireplace installation anywhere in the home. Now, Hearth & Home Technologies introduces the Heatilator brand whole hearth system. Direct-vent gas fireplaces expel 100 percent of the fireplace’s exhaust, moisture and odors outside the home. Add electronic ignition and homeowners save $8 -$12 a month over the cost of a standing pilot. Building practices like these are found in national green programs like NAHB’s Model Green Home Building Guidelines, LEED® for Homes, ENERGY STAR’s Indoor Air Package and the American Lung Association’s® Health House® program.

FAN-TASTIC
“We love our Hampton Bay ceiling fans because of the height of the ceilings throughout our house and the convenience of the remotes,” Tim Donovan said. Hampton Bay offers the most current and stylish fan designs at prices significantly less than lighting showrooms. Their fans come in a variety of designs and finishes and work with all decors. They offer pewter and brushed nickel, bronze and antique copper finishes, blades from canvas and palm leaves to natural wood and glass.
