These 10 rules will make your life easier and your home look better:
- Use this formula when painting/decorating a room. 60% of the room should be one colour, 30% of the room should be your second colour and a third, brighter colour should make up the rest.
- All an entryway really needs is a place to sit, a place to put things (table/shelf) and a mirror.
- Use contrasting shapes. If most of your furniture is rectangular, add something round for balance.
- A good rule of thumb when choosing a coffee table is that it should be two-thirds of your sofa’s width and an inch or two lower.
- Hang curtains higher than the top of the window to make rooms seem loftier.
- Put mirrors opposite windows to increase space and light.
- Anchor rugs under furniture such as a sofa or table.
- Group ornaments in odd numbers.
