10 Home Decor Styling Tips a la Happy Haute Home
Styling Tip #10 – Pillows
Use pillows and lots of them! Different shapes, sizes, colors, patterns and textures. Add in a karate chop at the end to give it that little “je ne sais quoi” 😉
Pillows make a room feel homey and comfortable, a place where you want to hang out. They are so interchangeable too…one of the best and simplest home accessories ever.
Styling Tip #9 – Style in groups of three
This just means that objects look better when styled together in a group of three. You can use similar objects or different objects for the styling. I prefer to use different objects. I also suggest if you use more than three objects, make sure you have an odd number, like five, seven, or nine.
Styling Tip #8 – Wall Art
Wall art, pictures, plates etc should be hung at eye level, which is approximately 55-60 inches off the ground. Use colors you have in the room for your wall art as well to coordinate and make the space feel cohesive.
Styling Tip #7 – Pattern
Bring pattern into the room with pillows and throws. Maybe you aren’t ready to commit to a patterned wall paper or floor tile, that’s ok. Patterns can be scary – they seem so….permanent! Start small, and bring in things that can be changed out such as fun art or vases.
Styling Tip #6 – Scale
I have talked about scale a lot in prior posts. Hugely important in designing any space or structure. The furniture, lighting, fireplace, mirrors all have to be proportionate to the room you are designing. You can’t place a small vase on a big mantel, it will get lost and look out of place.
Styling Tip #5 – Color
Adding color to a room can completely change the look of the space. Whether it be by painting walls a dark color or bringing in a colorful piece of furniture. I added this blue cabinet to the room and it makes the space feel “finished”. The pop of color is perfect and it blends beautifully.
Styling Tip #4 – Lamps
Adding lamps finishes a room. Whether it be floor lamps or table lamps, the glow and the look make a room feel complete and lived in.
Styling Tip #3 – Add Black
I like to add at least one black item to every room. In this case, the black marble around the fireplace was left in place when I painted the mantel years ago. I find the color grounds the room, it’s striking and draws your eye to it immediately. Whether it’s in the furniture, fabric, artwork or fireplace – every room needs black.
Styling Tip #2 – Balance and or Symmetry
So incredibly important in a space. I love symmetry but it’s not necessary – if you don’t love it that’s fine. But balance is super important in making a space look right to the eye. If you have three large items on the left, you can’t have one small item on the right of the room. You have to balance the space with proportionate looking items and pieces.
Styling Tip #1 – Plants
Every room should have plants…period. Live or faux…every room needs greenery. Our fiddle leaf trees are live and so easy to care for…water once a week and done! Simple! Great for the environment and they look beautiful too.
I hope you enjoyed reading my 10 tips to style any room. Some of the tips seem so easy and basic. Many people follow these in their homes already, it’s just when you add them all together into a room – that you get the lived in, stylish looking space we all desire.
