Tuesday's Top Ten PLUS Ten: Decorating Tips

I love to decorate rooms! In fact, every time I set foot inside of an antique mall, hobby lobby, TJ Maxx or anything alike..I find myself wishing I was an adult with a house, because I'd have more rooms to embellish! And you definitely don't want to miss BecKyle's list this week, because she is a master at this kind of thing. You will be inspired for sure.

1. Don't be afraid to widen your color pallet! A room does not have to be just black and blue, instead try different shades or colors entirely! Things will fit together much more nicely than you might think.

2. Also along the lines of your color pallet..if you're starting fresh, consider this: Don't just go for favorite colors, but for colors according to the mood you'd like that room to have.

3. One thing I have learned, and had much fun finding out..is that print on print is NOT a sin! Have fun with those patterns and you won't regret it! Take these colorful patchwork cushions for example..

4. Give a room character by adding some dimension. My favorite example of this is a multi-dimensional wall collage. Love them.

5. If you have a fairly plain room, add a pop or two of color, it will bring everything out! Just like a black and white outfit with red shoes will make a statement, so would a room with a bright piece or two!

6. Make sure the space is functional. Any room can look nice, but if it has to be "just so" to make an impact, you may want to rethink your plans. Whether it is clever storage, or simply traditional ideas, make sure your room is livable, otherwise, what's the point? You'll constantly be fidgeting with it.

7. If you're bored with a room, rearrange it! Sometimes a more genius design is staring you in the face! You don't need any new pieces, and it can freshen things up more than you might think! 

8. Use candles, wax warmers, or just a pie in the oven to make any room feel more homey and luxurious. Not only does the brain associate memories to scents, but it can spruce things up with little-to-no effort! 

9. Paint that thing. You know that thing. The one that you don't want to get rid of but just doesn't quite fit. Or maybe paint the thing that could use some freshening. Or paint the thing that could be your pop of color. Just paint the thing. It will transform the room.

10. If you don't already, try your hand at thrift shopping and DIY! I find the hunt and the challenge fun, not to mention frugal and unique! There is something for everyone if you search for it! That is-in my opinion- the easiest way to personalize a room and really make it yours.
