Change Your Decorating Style in the Middle of a Room

Add an Element of Surprise in Each Space

A punch of color or texture would add a lot to this stark room.

To avoid a boring look, change your decorating style in the middle of a room. Consider adding one element of surprise in each space.

Sometimes you walk into a room that is perfectly decorated, only to get the feeling that things are just "too perfect." Sometimes all that's needed is a little surprise--something that doesn't really belong but adds a touch of whimsy.

In this type of situation, I like to add the unexpected.

In a perfectly traditional room with matching sofas, matching end tables, matching side chairs, and matching lamps, consider adding something ultra modern. A modern painting, a minimalist chair or table, or a contemporary sculpture could be just what's needed to jolt your eye away from the boring.
In a very contemporary interior with stark white walls, black furniture, sleek and smooth surfaces, try a textured area rug in fuscia, add a bold-patterned pillow on a chair, place a pair of classic silver candlesticks and colored candles or a traditional floral arrangement on a dining room table. Just something enough to break the tedious look of everything matching.
Try it! You'll probably like it.

How to decorate with paint color.

Draw Decorating Color Inspiration from Nature

Effective interior designs are those that command attention and communicate some feeling to persons who visit and live in the design environment. Knowing the basic elements of color and understanding how colors work with each other dramatically improves an interior design. Capturing a feeling with specific colors is a decorating how to that improves with study, practice and much experimentation.

To create an effective interior design using cool colors, bright white is a must. Bright white is seen in painted furniture, in upholstery, on baseboards and is the paint color for trim, moulding and kitchen cabinets.
