4. Your furniture isn’t balanced by your decor
Designer Dana Wolter believes that you should pay as much attention to your decorative accents as you do to the furniture pieces. She said that these tiny details can make a room appear complete and gleaming. They are just like jewelry for a plain and boring outfit, as she says.
Stacks of coffee table books are essential, in conformity with Wolter, to add splashes of color and give a room a collected feel. She also recommends bringing in plants or flowers to instantly liven up an area.
You don’t have to completely change your decorating style, but adding a layer of your personality to a place is always a good idea. You just have to make sure you don’t go over the top. Begin with items you’ve gathered over the years, such as a vibrant vase or a fun bust sculpture, and let your creativity and inspiration flow.
I liked the tips, especially about furniture proportions and lighting. Thanks.
What a good variety of ideas.
I hadn’t really realized I had a themed living room. I thought SW, but it’s more AmerIndian. Plans to change it out slightly.
The first 3 ideas are the ones I’ll be implementing first. I never think I have enough pillows. They and my artwork are the “color” in the living room. But, I’ve noticed my guests always moving them off of the furniture.
You hit on the things that I’ve been taking for granted/not noticing.
Thank you.
Kitchen flooring. Vinyl or tile??
I have never heard of scones lighting before. I am assuming you mean sconses. Found most everything interesting though.
