Do you like what you have but dont like your room? Heres the solution: pull your rooms together so they look finished and professionally decorated by following these techniques to add the wow to your rooms! (Ive used them in hundreds of homes!).

1. Paint the walls and ceiling a rich, warm neutral color or one of the colors in your rooms fabrics. Your furnishings will immediately look more at home. I call it marrying your architecture to your furnishings.

2. Next, move your seating away from the walls and group it around a fireplace, a view window or any logical focal point.

3. Now, add a generous area rug to accent and unify your entire seating area.

4. Fill any empty looking corners with large plants and soft up-lights. Add a decorative, folding screen for a fuller look.

5. Place your lamps to evenly and softly light your seating area. Use additional lighting to accent your artwork, collections and accessories.

6. Create a focal point on the coffee table by elevating one of your favorite accessories on a stack of several books (sans covers). This will give your treasure more presence. Then add a low, full green plant or a blooming orchid and a couple of large, glowing candles. If you like a fuller look, use a decorative tray or runner underneath.

7. Lastly, be sure to decorate the top half of your room (from the furniture up), with tall plants, window treatments, artwork and that wall color. The room will feel considerably larger, more interesting and most importantly finished!

These few changes will make all the difference so you can start enjoying living in a beautiful home!

Area rugs can play an important role in changing an entire room. An area rug placed on a diagonal in a room can give the illusion of spaciosness. In a large room grouping furniture around an area rug helps “ground” your furniture, and define a specific space. Place an area rug under your dining room table to add warmth to your space, but be sure to place a large enough rug so your chairs slide in and out on the rug without going off. About two additional feet on all sides should be sufficient. Another interesting idea is using a smaller area rug in your bathroom instead of bath mats. This can add continuity and interest to a large or small space. These days area rugs come in all shapes, sizes, patterns, and materials.

All weather rugs can be brought inside for homes that have multiple children and or animals. Simply take them outside and hose off to clean, allow to dry, and return inside. For a more durable rug choose a hand-tufted wool rug. These rugs hold up to high traffic well and you can spot clean with your favorite rug cleaner when nessassary and have it professionaly cleaned once or twice a year. Wheather you want a dramitic change to your space, or a subtle added warmth, and area rug can help get you started in the right direction.
