How to Pull a Room Together!
Before starting any decorating adventure, ask yourself, “What do I like?” Think about what patterns, colors & style stops you in your track! While inspiration is all around, honing in on a few key areas can help make gathering ideas easier…
*Look at your wardrobe for inspiration
*Look at what your already have in the room and decide what to keep & what to get rid of
*Consider bringing in pieces from other area of you home
*Don’t be afraid to change things up & move things around or remove them altogether
It may take months for you to get your decor exactly how you want it and that’s OK. Letting your look change and evolve over time will create a room that has personality and depth rather than a space that looks like it was thrown together in a weekend, or worse doesn’t look like you live there because it doesn’t say YOU!
As I have said you need to get inspired by something, and as you can see fashion is the number one influence, if you love to dress a certain way, why not pull that into your home decor. This palette of patterns and colors make a perfect combo to work with.
Grays and Yellows make a nice combination together, here the yellow is not over powering because is is paired with many shades of gray.
You can start with a simple table vignette using items you already have, some or your favorite books, paired with some treasures you have collected and a simple jar with some flowers you picked from your garden, think out of the box.
Here is a beautiful mix of color, texture & style all in one room. Don’t you just want to sit and enjoy this room with a group of friends? It’s easier than you think!
Remember it all about you & your lifestyle!
