International Magazine features 32 Decorating Den Interiors’ Room Makeovers

Easton, Md.—The just-published winter issue of the international consumer art, architecture and design magazine Arabella contains 28 pages of award-winning room makeovers designed and furnished by Decorating Den Interiors design professionals from throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Titled Beautiful Interiors and a Beautiful Business, the article can be viewed at http://arabelladesign.com/a_sliders/2015/d%20winter/Decorating_Den_Winter2015.html.

“What makes these makeovers relatable to more people is that they are real rooms for real people with real budgets. These are not staged photos in which furnishings have been brought in to show a design concept. They are rooms that are actually lived in by families,” the magazine states.

The room designs were among the top three award-winners in each of 11 categories in Decorating Den Interiors’ annual International Dream Room competition judged by interior design journalists from U.S. and Canadian publications. The competition had more than 275 entries.
