If you want to create a cozy space in a
large room this is what you do...
BEFORE
AFTER
1. Move the furniture away from the walls.
AFTER
2. Create a conversation area by placing
the furniture closer together, it is always nice to
add a rug it anchors the furniture.
BEFORE
The couch looks a little lonely on that big wall,
even the large artwork feels isolated
in the middle of the large space.
AFTER
3. Bring the artwork down so that it
fits with a group, the table, lamp and chair.
AFTER
4. Add a lamp or two, this creates a
warmer more intimate atmosphere.
AFTER
5. Add a few patterned pillows that use
the colors you have in the room.
This helps tie the room together.
See what a difference it can make!
Now you have a warm inviting room.
Go and see what you can do in
your own space with these simple tips!!

In this redesign, my camera battery just gave out---
but I was able to give you a quick before and after.
Here it is:
BEFORE
AFTER
See what changes we made:
1. Putting the furniture a on an angle,
creates a conversation area
2. Added fabric, the rug, the throw blanket and pillow,
soften the space and make it cozy
3. The pot of twigs on the side table, adds height
as well as a natural element.
4. The three owl prints hanging vertically,
fits the scale of the room better.
5. A lamp in the corner,
creates a warm glow to the room, as well as height.
And this was all done using what she had in her home already... Sooo Fun!
What can you do to change up your space?
p.s. I will show you the other half of the room soon!

So what can you learn from looking at this great
Great room?
Let's to go through the space and talk about
what design principles you can use from this example.
In the above photo the furniture is gathered around the
center of the room facing the fireplace which
is the focal point of the room.
It creates a wonderful conversation area.
1. Converstion Area (the furniture is balanced in the space)
2. Three Lamps in a triangle pattern.
3. Similar Patterns and Colors throughout the space.
4. See how the Rug anchors the furniture.
5. Natural Elements
(flowers, apples)
6. Notice the Different Textures on the table...
wicker basket, the wooden boxes
as well as the shiny glass candlesticks.
And of course books...I love books in a room.
7. Fabric
(the different toss pillows)
8. Staggering the heights of the items on the coffee table
makes it more pleasing to the eye.
See how you can take ideas from this beautifully designed
Dream Home and use a few in your own home!!
Try at least one in your house today!

It snowed at our house last night!
Finally it feels like winter.
So this morning I went around the house
turning on the lamps.
It really creates a warm inviting atmosphere---
So nice on a wintery day.
Today I have posted all kinds of different decor styles
and rooms, just so you can see that turning on a lamp
in any space makes it feel more inviting.
So...go ahead and turn on a lamp... you will FEEL Better!!

This time of year I especially love to turn on the lamps.
The extra lighting creates a warmth that makes your home so inviting
when it is cold and dreary outside.
It works in every room---
Now take a minute and turn on a few lamps!
You will be amazed at how good it FEELS.
