Every month, we ask our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram fans to share their design questions with us. Then we ask one of our stylists to help you out! Here’s what we’ve got for you this month…
How do I create a gallery wall? – Tina
We make the whole gallery focus on one subject such as your family, best friend, sport or something that you are passionate about. We like to mix and match posters and paintings with 3D wall letters such a monogram or words and/or a small shelf with a pretty vase or object.
How do I choose a paint color for my room? –Stacy
A great place to start is with a color that compliments your bedding and rug but does not over power the space. If you have plenty of natural light from windows and very little wall space you could choose a strong color because you may not see a lot of it between the window treatments and windows. If you have a lot of wall space then pick a nice complimentary color in a pale shade such as a light grey or a color that matches the bedding/rug but is a pale version of that color.
How do I know what rug size is best? – Kara
There are a couple of ways to do this. If you have a wood floors then choose a simple design, larger sized rug that extends beyond your bed to almost 10” from the wall. This will give you warmth and coziness and make the room cohesive, especially if the color relates to the wall color. If you prefer a bold statement rug, then make sure that you don’t cover it all up with furniture! A bold pattern on a smaller rug can make the room look larger and can make a nice transition between your desk and your bed.
Can you mix prints in your room? – Talia
Totally! We like to mix something easy like our Dottie sheets with a fun print like Swirly paisley duvet or the Peyton sheets with the Anna Paisley Duvet. An easy rule we follow is to mix something simple (like a two color print) with something more multi colored and complex.
How do I make my bathroom fun? – Jill
Add artwork to the bathroom! That’s a quick way to add personality and humor and is easily changeable. A set of colorful bath towels and a matt helps a lot too.
