Alliteration in Decoration

Interior design strives to make the world a more beautiful place, but you don’t have to be an interior designer to make your mark beautiful in this world. You just have to be fearless. Be courageous with color choices, plucky with picking patterns and audacious when accessorizing art. There are no rules. There needn’t be any rhyme or reason as to why you place an antler chandelier with a Venetian mirror or a Chesterfield sofa with a mid-century modern Danish styled chair. If it speaks to you then it works.

So many people are quite literally terrified of making all the wrong decisions when it comes to decorating their home. Working in the furniture industry I am confronted with discouraged people on a daily basis and I tell them not to be intimidated by lamps and chairs! Of course I counsel them more than that – but anyway, my point is… Those lost souls need to let the interiors below be an inspiration to them!!! Not because they love the purple leather chair or mismatched lamp shades or the peacock floor rug. But because by simply taking notice of how the accessories don’t match or how the homeowners’ style can’t be described in one word, even two or three shows there is a foolproof way of approaching design.

And if that is still too overwhelming then…

Start with one piece you love and build around it. If you love this “one thing” because it’s a family heirloom yet it serves a purpose then shop at thrift stores and take it easy with accessories. If you love this “one thing” because it’s eco-friendly yet it makes a statement then try your hands at refurbishing a piece you already own by painting it a vibrant color and adding new hardware!!!

Just have fun with it y'all!!!
That’s all I ask. :):)
