Tips for Decorating Confidently

I recently was asked how I decorate so confidently or with ease. To be honest I never really thought of it, it just comes naturally to me. I tend to know what I like and naturally can style things together. However, if I were to share some tips here’s what they’d be…

  1. Be true to yourself, decorate with what you naturally gravitate towards versus going after trends. A well collected home of stuff you love looks lived in and makes a happy home
  2. If you want to try color but don’t know where to start then try green. I learned awhile ago that green goes with just about every other color on the color wheel.
  3. Mix old with new. Shop at vintage and antique stores to mix with new or big box retailers. This keeps your space from looking like a showroom. Also, the old stuff is generally made better!
  4. Window treatments and rugs can transform a space. They are worth splurging on.
