The follow­ ing are trade tips offered by award-winning designer Janet Rosenberg, design-efficiency consultant to Minnetonka: • Clear the Room--Remove all loose items and evaluate the basics. What fixtures or appli­ ances must you work around? • Establish a Goal--How much of a change do you want to make? Decide how much or how little you want to spend. • Be Patient--Designing takes time. Shop supermarkets, drug stores, hardware and de­ partment stores for new prod­ ucts that are functional as well as esthetic. Change the knobs on cabinets and you've changed the mood. Softsoap's decorator packaging eliminates a messy soap dish. A grouping of inexpensive framed minors are wonderfully effec­ tive. • Add Color--A little bit goes a long way in small spaces. Use solid-colored instead of pat­ terned towels; semi- or high- gloss paint instead of patterned wallpaper. Before buying any wallpaper, get a large sample and live with it awhile to avoid an expensive mistake. • Focus on Lighting -- Soften the effect with incandes­ cent rather than fluorescent lamps when possible. An energy-saving dimmer switch changes the entire character of the space for under $10. Lighting is a very important feature of design--it shows off what you've just created.
