ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Decorating a home doesn't have to mean a life-long commitment to the same look. Even novice designers can make small changes that make a big difference. With changes to window treatments and accessories, your home can express your personal style.

"Refreshing the look of a room is as important as refreshing your wardrobe," says Laura Day of the popular television show Trading Spaces on TLC and New York-based Laura Day Design. "The look of a home should change with your life -- by the season, by the mood and by necessity."
Day recommends that decorators on a budget keep design simple to maximize their investments and be creative -- think beyond fabrics and paint. Windows and glass surfaces are an unexpected place to create a custom look.
"Window treatments, especially window film, can have a powerful impact on a room," says Day. "GILA(r) Window Film offers simplicity and streamlined design that make for a sophisticated interior. GILA allows home decorators to personalize the look of a room on a budget."
Another tip from Day is to tap into creative juices to transform the look of everyday items around the house. Picture frames don't have to stay on the wall; they can be converted into attractive centerpieces or placemats in a pinch.
"By adding window film to the glass of picture frames, a room can take on an entirely new look and feel. With a roll of window film, a plain glass table can be transformed into something unique in just minutes," adds Laura. "With the great price point and availability of GILA Window Film, decorators can change the look of their home to fit their evolving lifestyle."
Ideal for the home decorator who wants to express themselves, GILA Window Film is an easy and inexpensive product to use around the home. GILA Window Film applies easily for a simple, quick change for most clean glass surfaces, and is available in an assortment of sizes, patterns and textures. And when another creative idea comes along, GILA Window Film removes cleanly.
GILA Window Film is available nationwide at leading home improvement retailers for approximately $1 a square foot. A list of creative uses for window film can be found on the GILA website at www.gilafilms.com.
