The words “paint” and”personality” aren’t often used together but they could be, according to one website. For instance, red is known for energy and increasing blood pressure, while packing a punch while orange tends to warm a room but in a more welcoming way. Blue, because of its tranquil effect, is said to be the best for bedrooms and green, more versatile than blue, is also supposed to be calming. Violet is considered tricky, psychologically speaking.
Rudi Nino, one show expert, advises that those with asthma and allergies be aware when remodeling that all the dust stirred up during such projects can make their symptoms worse. So, those with such medical problems should notify their remodeling contractor before a project is started.
Show exhibitors have gotten a lot out of showing their wares at the very-well attended event.
“For the past several years we’ve been doing home and garden shows and have reached thousands of well qualified customers interested in our product lines,” says Nina Hu, an exhibitor, of Fefco Fine Furnishings.
