Make Sure Your Sofa Talks to Your Chairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of a hotel lobby: The furniture is arranged in groupings that invite conversation. When you place the furniture in your living room, aim for a similar sense of balance and intimacy. Think of a U-shape or H-shape. One common mistake to avoid: Pushing all the furniture against the walls. Having the furniture in space will actually make the room look larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anchor Rugs Under Furniture Feet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Follow these basic rules for an area rug: in a living room, all four legs of the sofa and chairs in a furniture grouping should fit on it. It should serve to define the space. Just make sure the rug size is proportional to the room size. If it’s too small for the space, everything will look out of scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let The Sun In <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the kitchen, naked windows can look better than heavy drapes. Ideally, window dressings should be functional and elegant: Think sheers paired with full-length panels. If your room gets a lot of sun, opt for light colors that won’t fade. The most recommended lightweight fabrics for panels are cotton, linen, and silk blends because they tend to hang well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hang a Mirror in Every Room<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mirrors can make a space feel brighter because they bounce the light around the room. They will also make the room look larger! Put mirrors on walls perpendicular to windows, not directly across from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scale Artwork to Your Wall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take scale into account; for a large wall, go big with one oversize piece or group smaller pieces gallery-style. If you\u2019re going for gallery style, don’t space the pictures too far apart. 2 to 4 inches between items usually looks best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layer Your Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every room should have three kinds of lighting: ambient, which provides overall illumination and often comes from ceiling fixtures; task, which is often found over a kitchen island or a reading nook; and accent, which is more decorative.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
