5 home styling tricks to try...

The Decorista July 2, 2014

As I have been browsing around for inspiration, Ive found a few decorating accent tricks I like.

Let's start with the bed here, I love a high canopy bed with ample storage space underneath. What if you have nothing to go there? Books. I totally love the way stacks of books makes this home seem sophisticated.

art with glass

I'm obsessed with this style of room. Very midcentury modern with bits of hollywood glamour. The best part? The wallpaper, its a tricky look. It's such a neutral color, you can barely see that its paper, but the almost invisible pattern gives movement, layer and texture. This translates to simple yet so luxurious.

Even something as simple as brass strips on a door can mean mega style. Paint something like this on a door for a completely glamorous revamp.

There is something about greenery in the home. It breathes life into a room. I've always been loyal to orchids because I think they are the perfect flower for the home. They last long and they are gorgeous, but adding plants is so essential. It gives life.

So, lets say you can't paint a room or put up wallpaper, you're living in a rental. My advice, add curtains to the wall. Fabric is the first way to bring that cozy feeling into your domain. It's an easy trick and white breezy curtains will do. I love how these create a great headboard look, and for little cost you have a cozier space, which we all love. I also feel like if you need to add some color to an otherwise boring, or neutral room. Curtains are the way to go!

decorating ideas: mirrored screens

The Decorista June 24, 2014

As I  decorate my clients home, I'm going to try to give you all more decorating ideas as I come across things I need to tackle. One thing that really stood out to me was finding a solution for a bare corner in the home. It's a bachelor pad but yet still needs to be elegant and sometimes you just don't want to put a chunky piece of furniture in an empty corner. My favorite solution for a forgotten corner? A mirrored screen. It literally works every time.

I love the one we chose for ProjectB. It's an antique mirrored finish so its really soft and beautiful, but not a super stark glare mirror. This is the one I chose. It's heavy and very tall so takes up ample space and reflects natural light in the most beautiful way. Here are a few more looks you can achieve with a mirrored screen...

I absolutely love these screens, the one is black is so chic and modern. I think the antique mirrored look is probably my favorite. It looks fantastic in an all neutral room. Aren't they just glamorous? Now to make it a little easier for you, I've rounded up a few I really think you will love.
