Our Favorite Design Tips For Your Home

-
Discover different ways to showcase your home with a few of our favorite design tips. Incorporating different design elements is a way to create a place you love coming home to.

DESIGN TIP: A valance may be a simple touch you need to finish a room.

DESIGN TIP: To create an illusion of a taller window, hang curtains 4-6 inches above the window frame.
DESIGN TIP: Treat multiple windows or doorways as one group to create a cozy, intimate feel. Use one rod that spans the length of the area, and add curtain panels to soften the space but not block the light. This will create a cohesive look to the room.

DESIGN TIP: Not sure what color to use? A great designer tip is to pull some clothes from your closet and see what colors you gravitate towards. It will be a clue as to what to use in your home.







DESIGN TIP: Two story rooms can be difficult to decorate. For added tallness take the window treatments to just above each window's frame for a grand feel.

DESIGN TIP: If you have a sloped ceiling, paint your entire room and ceiling the same color. It can create a uniform, monochromatic look for your room and the illusion of a cozier space.
DESIGN TIP: Create symmetry in a room with your drapery for an elegant and balanced look.
DESIGN TIP: Arched windows are beautiful, but can be difficult when it comes to window treatments. Just because the window is curved, does not mean you need to cover it that way.
