10 Decorating Secrets!

Pile on the Pillows
One pair of pillows always looks skimpy.  Use two or more pairs, in contrasting patterns, colors and textures.

Leave Cabinets Open
An open armoire is far more interesting than a closed one.  Let people into your secret world.


Go Dark
Dark walls do the opposite of what you'd expect.  They make a small room feel bigger.


Wallpaper is easy
The fastest way to make over sliding closet doors is to wallpaper them.  You can turn a bedroom into an office.


It's okay to skip the sofa
There's no rule that a living room has to have a sofa!


White Works!
You'll never get tired of a white room.


Tuck in your throws
Keeps throws under control.  Fold them lengthwise, then in half, then tuck them into cushions.


Kick your traditional coffee table to the curb.
The most versatile coffee table you'll ever own is an ottoman topped with a tray.


Plants cheer up a lovely corner.
Nothing softens a lovely corner in a big room like a potted tree.

Switch up you're seating
Mix up the seating at you're dining table.  You wouldn't have eight identical chairs in you're living area.
