FIND YOUR OWN PERSONAL STYLE

Ask yourself what you want to achieve in your room or space and if you want cool and serene effects or you want to create lots of energy. Is it a place to retreat from the hectic pace of the day or an active energetic play atmosphere. Cool colors such as light blues, greens, yellows and pastels create more of a serene tone, while reds, blacks, dark greens, royal blues and vibrant hues lend themselves to a more energized space. Sort through various magazines and go to a model home. Take photos & make notes of the styles and furnishings that appeal to you most. Take what you like and leave the rest.

GET THAT HOMEY LIVED IN LOOK

For that lived in look that is unique to you, incorporate your keepsakes and mementoes from all the trips you have taken and the family photos you have saved. Get Grandma’s quilt out of the drawer and create a new look for your room by making it into a focal point on the wall behind your bed. You can attach it to a backing of felt and attach it directly to the wall. Use those unique items and place them where they can be seen on tables, mantles or in curio cabinets. Collectibles and antique items can be placed in shadow boxes and framed as pieces of art. Use old decorative fabric & tapestries to hang from a unique decorative rod with finials on a wall to ad color and style to your room.
