These 10 rules will make your life easier and your home look better. The post 8 Simple Decorating Rules to Live By appeared first on Andy Schildhorn, PREC.

These 10 rules will make your life easier and your home look better:

  1. 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.
  2. All an entryway really needs is a place to sit, a place to put things (table/shelf) and a mirror.
  3. Use contrasting shapes. If most of your furniture is rectangular, add something round for balance.
  4. 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.
  5. Hang curtains higher than the top of the window to make rooms seem loftier.
  6. Put mirrors opposite windows to increase space and light.
  7. Anchor rugs under furniture such as a sofa or table.
  8. Group ornaments in odd numbers.
