OFF-THE-WALL ART

Looking for something a little different? Choose a unique piece of metal art for your wall. The 3D effect adds extra depth to the space.

COLOR GUIDE

What is your anchor piece? A large orange sofa or an ornate Persian rug? Use the hues in this piece when determining the color palette for the space and selecting your other furnishings. Creating a polished and cohesive look isn’t about all of your pieces matching but about repetition, whether that is a color or a pattern.

STYLE CHANGE

Everything in this loft-style living room is ultra-modern, except for the traditional reading chair. Don’t be afraid to intermingle style choices. The effects can be dazzling.

PERSONAL PENCHANT

Fight the urge to match. Throw pillows are an easy way to play on your personality and liven up a room.

PATTERN PLAY

Pick a fun pattern to play up your dining area. These vibrantly colored chairs provide an irresistibly eclectic charm. The sunset colors offset by aqua finishing create a bold statement.

If you are in search of a wo odsy approach to your natural motif, try adding an end table made of tree root. Nothing is as versatile as woodgrain, and it can be added to a study, living area, or front entry.

STATEMENT SEATING

Break from the mold of traditional dining chairs and opt for comfortable wingback or slipper chairs. A secret to mixing patterns is choosing a distinct color scheme. This room is accented by shades of red, pink, and magenta.
