Decorating Tips

11 Decorating Tips
Rules that create a space you want to come home to.

1.  Choose a color palette and use it in all the common areas of your home. 
  
Sasha Emerson's Home in Country Living is a great example.

2.  Each room should have a focal point: fireplace, armoire, TV console, art...

(Country Living)

3.  Hang pictures at eye level when not hung over a piece of furniture - eye level for a person approximately 5'7".  Otherwise, hang the pictures 4"-8" above the furniture.


4.  Every room should have at least a touch of black.

note the chandelier

5.  Each side or corner of a room should be lit (table lamps, floor lamps, sconces).


6.  Remove anything that is not beautiful and/or practical (William Morris).


7.  All seating should have an easily accessible place to set a glass.

8.  Benjamin Moore's White Dove (semi-gloss) is the perfect trim color.
