-Buy the bigger rug!! Having all your furniture sit on top of the rug will make your room feel larger and more unified.


-Hang your artwork at “Eye Level” which is on average 66″ on center…..adjust the height depending on the size of artwork and how it fits on the wall. (taller walls and larger artwork may need to be hung a little higher) Pay attention to the composition of the peice and the viewing distance……having more detail in a piece of artwork means it needs to be seen up close, use less detailed and larger compositions for items to be hung on two story walls or with further viewing distances.
-For those who like to change the style of their rooms often…….buy quality neutral colored furniture that can be accented with colorful pillows, throws, rugs, and accessories so you can change your space every season, holiday, or just to show off current color/style trends.
-Use dimmer switches!! Layered lighting is key to any successful design. Adjustable controls give you the ability to best use each fixture to their full potential and intended use. For example, can lights can be used for all purposes -general, task, or decorative lighting, but if the only setting is full bright light (used for a task purpose), it will wash out or cause glare because it is too bright when using it as a general/ambient light or decorative light.
