Consider Your Space

Design ideas and tips written down before hand or drawn out to measurements will help fill your space appropriately.

Color and Balance

Even if you are colorful person you may need to consider how it will look on your walls or furniture. Rainbows are beautiful, but certainly may no flow properly.

Consider not just paint, but the color of your furniture, pillows, blinds and table clothes. You don’t have to apply a large amount of one color to brighten a space. Small amounts of several colors can help blend a focal point with the many parts of your room.
