(NAPSI)—When it comes to decorating, remodeling or building a home, says leading interior designer, author and HGTV star Cortney Novogratz, there’s an important element homeowners should not overlook: comfort.
“Stylish interior design and superior indoor comfort are not mutually exclusive,” Novogratz explains. “I consider the selection of the heating and cooling system to be the bones of a home and a major part of the design process.”
