3 tips to make your space your own

While playing it safe will keep you out of trouble, it also gets boring quickly. Even a little fun can change your whole perspective. Same goes for design. Neutrals are all well and good, but a pop of color, texture, or an unexpected element wakes up your space.

Eclectic is in. It doesn't have to be discombobulated eclectic either. It's really more like one step beyond transitional style. Mix and match designs, styles, and objects until you find a combination that makes you happy. Creativity makes your design one-of-a-kind.

If you believe in yourself, you can pull off just about anything. Don't rely on other people to tell you what you like or don't like. If you like it, go for it.

Bright greens, vibrant blues, contrasting black & white - there are many ways to incorporate great color and bold variation into your design without making it feel overwhelming. A feature wall, décor accent, or piece of furniture will do the trick.

Remember that the best color is the one that makes you feel at home.
