TOP TEN Decorating Tips

1. Start with a Plan

Before decorating, define your style and color palette to create a cohesive look. Whether you love modern minimalism or cozy farmhouse, consistency is key.

2. Use the Rule of Three

Grouping décor in sets of three (or other odd numbers) makes arrangements visually appealing and natural.

3. Layer Your Lighting

Combine ambient (overhead), task (reading lamps), and accent (wall sconces, candles) lighting to add depth and warmth to your space.

4. Choose a Focal Point

Every room should have one standout feature—like a fireplace, an accent wall, or a statement piece of furniture—to anchor the design.

5. Mix Textures for Depth

Combine different materials like wood, metal, glass, and textiles to create a rich, inviting space.

6. Don’t Be Afraid of Color

Even if you love neutrals, add pops of color through pillows, rugs, or artwork to bring life to a room.

7. Incorporate Nature

Plants and flowers breathe life into a home, improve air quality, and add a refreshing, organic touch.

8. Make It Personal

Display meaningful items like family photos, travel souvenirs, or heirlooms to tell your story through your décor.

9. Invest in Quality Staples

Spend wisely on key furniture pieces like a sofa or dining table, while saving on trendy accessories that can be swapped out easily.

10. There Is No Place Like Home

Your home should be a reflection of you, so decorate in a way that makes you feel comfortable, happy, and at peace.
