HGTV’s Property Brothers: Buying + Selling selected Klaffs to film, shop and procure products at its home design store, which houses five distinct showrooms under one roof.
Buying + Selling, a highly rated home renovation show, follows twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott as they transform clients’ houses into dream homes while staying within budget. “We loved having the Property Brothers here,” says Klaffs chairman Joe Passero. “Drew and Jonathan really know what they’re doing when it comes to home design.”
The show chose Klaffs specifically for its one-stop shopping experience and wide range of quality products and services at every price point. To celebrate its TV debut, Klaffs held a sales event this summer and reintroduced their Chef Tastings during the duration of the sale. The Buying + Selling episodes featuring Klaffs aired in July. Klaffs has showrooms in South Norwalk, Danbury and Scarsdale. 203-866-1603; klaffs.com
HGTV OFFERS EXPERT TIPS ON CREATING A SPACE WITH PERFECT LIGHTING
GOING GLOBAL
Consider replacing formal chandelier flame bulbs with globe bulbs to add a modern touch. Opaque white is the best option for more diffused light.
WATCH YOUR WATTAGE
Although most fixtures are equipped to handle 75-watt bulbs, for decorative purposes the experts recommend 25- to 40-watts.
GETTING SHADY
The color and material of your lamp shades have a big impact. White shades made from organic fabrics like cotton or linen are best to cast a flattering glow.
GLASS ACT
If one room gets a tremendous amount of light, say a sunroom for example, consider installing a glass-paned door to allow the light to cascade through.
DIMMERS
Put them on everything. ’Nuf said.
