Our designer secrets, when designing your room use the 60-30-10 rule - to select colors. Your wall color would be the 60%, 30% for upholstery and fabrics and 10% accent color. In re: pattern - every room needs 3. A geometric - like your great rug, a solid and an organic (flowers, leaves, doggies, whatever).

These are gorgeous, but we still love to see TV's as an accessory, rather than a focal point... Check out a few ways to do that - in addition to these micro skinny's. The Slimmest, Thinnest Wall Mountable Home Theater Speakers |

An easy color palette consists of 60% wall color, 30% upholstery and fabrics and 10% accent color. I agree, black goes with most everything...so that is your 30% color. Take this Stylefinder Quiz to define your design style (traditional, modern etc...) use the 2 (your style and your love of black) to select the right, complete color palette for you.

Treat them as if they are 2 separate windows, The trick is to use the same width of drapery in the middle as is used on each end. That is, if the draperies on each end are say 10" wide when open, try to achieve approximately 10" of fabric in the middle. With that said, you also need to decide if you need draperies and/or blinds for privacy. Doing w/out might not be an option. And, we very much believe in taking the eye away from something weird in our homes...we all have those - perhaps a great arch lamp and fun chair in the corner will minimize your angst with the drapery situation.

Professional help...(don't we all need that:) Kidding aside, the goal of good design is to amaze your guests with your beautiful patio/outdoor space to the extent that they are not interested in that bland nothingness beside you...Bring their eye in to the beauty of your space with a well-defined color palette and style. Outdoors bright reds, yellows, lime greens and orange make great accent colors (just pick 1ish). The greenery will also be part of your palette. And define your style - thinking asian? modern, traditional? You can better define your style ....with this quiz How To Screen from Looming Duplex? Good Questions |
