Choose a statement piece like a bold artwork, a unique piece of furniture, or a large mirror. This will draw attention and set the tone for the room.
2. Play with Color
Use a neutral base (like beige, gray, or white) to keep the space feeling open and airy, then add pops of color through cushions, throws, or decorative pieces.
Stick to a 3-color palette: one dominant color (60%), a secondary color (30%), and an accent color (10%).
3. Layer Your Lighting
Incorporate a mix of lighting: ambient (overhead lights), task (desk or reading lamps), and accent (decorative) to create depth and warmth.
Use dimmable lights to control the ambiance and create a cozy mood.
4. Maximize Natural Light
Use light, sheer curtains or opt for blinds to let in as much light as possible.
Place mirrors opposite windows to reflect light and make the room appear larger.
5. Mix Textures and Materials
Combine different materials like wood, metal, glass, and fabrics to add richness and contrast.
Layer textures with rugs, cushions, and throws to create a warm, inviting feel.
