•Enhance the visual appeal of windowless rooms (so they're
not dungeons) •Design furniture arrangements that function
and flow •Style up even the most forlorn kitchens, baths and

dreadful to be made ultra fab) •Brighten up their kitchens
with a can of paint and a burst of strategically-placed
color (location, location, location!) •Figure out which
styles of furniture go together (there is a rule and it's
easy!) •Make their own personalities shine throughout their
homes (because they should) •And oodles more! Design Rules
