1. Edit Your Space - Pull furniture away from your walls. Get rid of old, dated pieces and integrate items from different rooms.
2. Color Your World - The trend for 2010 is to integrate neutrals (browns/greens) with global colors (yellow, rich plum, vibrant violet and even a touch of orange.) Grey also is making a strong showing. Try painting one wall an accent color and add a piece of art with similar colors to add some energy to that space.
3. Nurture in Nature - Add plants and florals. Plants add a touch of newness and calm to any room. Think about adding a silk tree in a beautiful pot.
4. Mix it Up! - Don't feel confined to a specific design style. Let your personality shine by mixing items that appeal to you. This goes for furniture and accessories. Ask a designer for help if needed.
5. Add Texture - Add natural materials and texture in furnishings and accessories.
6. Make it Personal - Incorporate family photos with coordinating frames. Group special items from your travels.
7. Light up Your Life - Mix and match lamp bases and shades for a hip new lighting solution.
8. Live in Comfort - Change pillows and throws seasonally.
9. Entertain with Style - Create unique centerpieces and spend a little extra time thinking about the little things that will make your event special.
10. Take a Risk - Be bold and try something new! Perhaps you would enjoy damask wallpaper to add a little glitz. Remember color adds a sense of optimism...and optimism is always in style!
