Top Design Tips For Home Decorating

Are you ready to give your living space a fresh look?  Use these design tips to guide you through your next design project.

Choose a Color Scheme: Create a feeling of continuity and coordination in your living space by choosing a color scheme.  For maximum impact, follow the 60/30/10 rule. Choose a dominant color for sixty percent of your space; a complementary color for thirty percent; and an accent color for ten percent.


Pick a Point of Interest: A lack of a focal point, or too many points of interest, can make a room feel cluttered and busy. By choosing a feature or two to stand out, you can anchor the room and create a sense of order.


Incorporate Texture: From richly-colored drapes to plush rugs, utilizing texture in your living space creates a warm and inviting environment.  In a monochromatic color scheme, texture can be used in place of color for a visually interesting space.


Lighting: Choose a feature in the room that you want to accentuate, and plan your lighting accordingly.  From chandeliers to floor lamps, there are many options for choosing the right lighting for your space.

Little Changes have a Big Impact: Maybe you don’t have the time, money or desire for a massive design overhaul.  By switching out accent pillows, adding a rug or window treatments, you can give your room a whole new look.
