Orange & Black Home

A color combination of black and orange can bring style to your home - without screaming "Halloween"! The best way to decorate with these two tones is to bring a few "pops" of orange into a mainly black and white room. And instead of bright pumpkin orange, you can use a different shade such as coral or tangerine. Here are some examples of exceptional rooms that incorporate orange perfectly.

tiny house trend

The "small house" movement centers around houses of less than 1,000 square feet. And a "tiny house"is less than 400! Owning one of these mini homes is a rising trend nationwide. Trading space for simplicity is one advantage of these small houses. Ultimately the tiny house concept is gaining popularity due to lower costs, reduced environmental impact and a simpler life.
