Five basic “Decorating Tips”…
- “LESS IS MORE” always try to keep it simple and only use the minimum number of pieces you really need – be ruthless!
- Place accessories such as scatter cushions, vases & ornamental pieces and artworks in groupings of one, three or five. Odd numbers will always be far more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
- Don’t overcrowd your room with large bulky pieces – If you’re game, choose a mix of different pieces that work together and use them in the one space. This will create visual interest and character and allow you to put your own style to the finished product. Remember to always measure your room to check sizes are appropriate for your space and only use the pieces what you really need.
- Large bold patterns on fabrics will make a piece of furniture look larger than it really is, so only use these patterns in larger spaces or on accent pieces, or use them in smaller amounts on items like scatter cushions or lamp shades.
- An easy no-fail decorating tip is to keep your colour scheme very simple. Use neutral colour tones on walls and larger furniture pieces and then add your own personality and style with accent pieces and accessories.
Happy Decorating!
