To provide the best solutions for your dilemma and to increase the likelihood that your question is selected, please read and follow these guidelines carefully:
SEND US YOUR PICTURES AND QUESTIONS HERE: HK-NowEditors@Outlook.com.
-
Include your name, city, state.
-
Include floor plans, if available, plus photographs of rooms, furniture, samples of tile, fabric or existing room features (see Photo Tips below). We can receive emails including up to 10 MB in digital attachments.
-
Include measurements of rooms and/or furniture you are asking about.
-
Include website links to products you might be considering or already own.
-
If your question refers to an existing paint color, please include the color name and manufacturer, if available.
Photo Tips
The brighter, clearest and most in-focus your photos are, the easier it is to answer your questions more effectively.
Here’s how to get great “before” shots so that we can help you get them worthy of “after” shots. Use natural light whenever possible! So turn all the lights off. If you can use a tripod. Try to keep your lines straight. Photographing on an overcast day is the best.
And even if your question is not selected, you can pick up a tip or two that might apply to your design ideas as well. And your question could be answered next month!
