Modern films are among the best ways to deal with sun and light issues in your home. Good-quality solar window films, like those by Vista, 3M or Lumor, reject 99.9 percent of the sun’s harmful rays. Solar window film (this is Night Vision 25 window tint) can reduce 50 to 87 percent of the sun's glare, while allowing you to enjoy the outside views.

Bold blue-green. My long-running love of lime green has recently given way to a passion for peacock greenish blues, and I’ve been using them in any and every place I can get my hands on. Jennifer Ott Design This option is definitely vibrant and eye-catching. I feel you can go a bit bolder with blue, because it’s a color most of us find desirable and soothing due to our association with blue skies and bodies of water. If you too are a fan of greenish blue but find this hue a bit too bold, go for a shade that is lighter and has more gray in it. The gray will tone it down while still giving a refreshing, watery vibe. For a similar look, try In the Tropics from Benjamin Moore.

Tōrō smart self-watering planter by MiMOKO Low- and No-Maintenance Botanicals Bringing nature into the home in ways that work with today’s busy lifestyles and shrinking living spaces was a theme found in the botanical-inspired designs at the show. Monique Skelton, founder of MiMOKO, showcased her new Tōrō smart self-watering planter at the prototype exhibit. The planter has a floating water level sensor connected to a micro-controller computer in the wooden stand. The sensor sends out an LED signal once it hits the bottom of the water reservoir. MiMOKO is developing the second phase of this product, which will be an app. Eventually, the device will send information to the app notifying the homeowner when the reservoir is low.
