Decorating a Dining Room Sideboard

Start With a Blank Canvas

Clear your wall and the top of the sideboard. If you’re rearranging your furniture, leave at least 3 feet between your piece and the table.

Hang a Mirror and Framed Photographs

Center the mirror vertically instead of horizontally for a more interesting arrangement. Using similar frames keeps the look cohesive.

Add a Lamp and Accessories

Combining items that range in scale and size helps achieve a balanced but not symmetrical arrangement.

Give a Southern Twist
For the finishing touch, bring your room to life with an arrangement of magnolia leaves in a footed bowl.

Decorating Tips for your Bedroom.

A gallery of simple ideas to make your slumber zone dreamy.

Pile on the Pillows 

Pile on the pillows, and don’t shy away from mixing patterns. Combine large prints with small ones, florals with geometrics.

DIY Artwork Hanging 

a graphic quilt is an easy solution to the “big blank wall” issue. Complementary bed linens pull the decor together.

Put Pattern to Work 
A printed bedspread, like this distinctive botanical design, does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to décor.

Incorporate Prints on Accent Pieces 

But prints aren’t reserved for the bedcovers. They’re just as arresting when set on a modern-shaped lampshade.

Work the Walls 

Nightstands and adjustable lamps affixed to walls smartly save space in a small room.

Reveal a Personal Side 

Your bedroom should express your personality (not just design principles), so feel free to go a little off-center, as with the art here.
