When it comes to decorating your home it is hard to make a real mistake.\u00a0 If it works for you and your family then how can it be a mistake?\u00a0 While there are some guidelines for choosing the colors or products, the final determination of right and wrong is how you and your family feel about the space.\u00a0 However, there are three areas of interior design that should be adhered to in order to avoid creating a space that just doesn\u2019t look or feel right no matter how much money you spent.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Function first:<\/strong> If a piece of furniture or fabric does not meet the needs of your family then, no matter how much you love it, it is not going to work in the long run.\u00a0 You may love those gold silk draperies until Fluffy the cat decides to use them as a tree.\u00a0 That expensive Oriental rug may look beautiful in your dining room until Uncle Harry spills gravy on it at your annual Thanksgiving gathering.\u00a0 Keep these things in mind when making your purchasing decisions.<\/li>\n
  2. Proportion and scale: <\/strong>We have all been in a room where the furniture was so large and over-stuffed you couldn\u2019t move around comfortably.\u00a0 While that large recliner with the cup holder may be what your husband dreams about, if it uses up all the floor space in the room, it is not the right choice.\u00a0 Conversely, a tiny delicate chair placed in a large entryway just makes the space feel cavernous rather than warm and welcoming; which is what an entryway is meant to be.<\/li>\n
  3. Placement: <\/strong> Just because a room has walls does not mean that furniture needs to be shoved up against those walls.\u00a0 Create intimate conversation or task areas in your rooms to make them function better and certainly, look better.\u00a0 A sofa and two chairs placed around the fireplace makes it possible for you to enjoy the fire up close rather than from across the room.\u00a0 Add a game table, a reading chair or a child\u2019s play area in other parts of the room.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Keep these three \u201crules\u201d in mind when decorating your home and you will be happy with the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
