Mathis Brothers Furniture provides its customers with complimentary personal style consultations, employing a team of professional interior decorators. For those looking to create a room or redecorate an entire home, Mathis Brothers Furniture offers the following tips.
First, follow your instinct and design with pieces and colors that you love. You will be living in the space, so it is imperative that you adore the furnishings. With that, your home should have a general theme common to each room, promoting a sense of balance throughout the house. Ultimately, you want each room to harmonize and produce a rhythm as guests walk through the space.
Second, decoration magazines, events, and television shows provide endless inspiration for new elements of décor. If you are unsure about designs that appeal to you, browse through a few magazines or watch a couple of television shows until a certain style strikes you. Once you identify a style that appeals to you, the experts at Mathis Brothers Furniture can guide you to the ideal furniture. The most popular styles today include casual, traditional, minimalist, regional, rustic, or even period decoration.
Third, after you have chosen a theme, don’t feel restricted by it. While most furniture, accents, and accessories should keep with the theme, a few mismatched items often lend a unique charm to your home. These pieces, however, should still blend well with the rest of the room, unless you wish to make a stark contrast.
Fourth, plan your style around your space. If your home is small, choose only three colors or patterns and vary only between these elements. By adding more colors or design elements, the house may become chaotic and provoke stress and anxiety. Don’t crowd a room or choose furnishings that overwhelm a space. Also, be sure to consider any elevators or stairwells that will restrict the size of your furniture. Especially in smaller rooms, strive for versatility with pieces such as a chest of drawers that doubles as a table.
