Creating the perfect ambiance for your home can be challenging. For many people like myself, we like a variety of pieces from different styles. Its knowing how to make all of our favorite pieces work that can be challenging. Here's my advice:1. Stick with what you like. If you have pieces of furniture that clash, find a way to make them work. Something as simple as sanding or repainting a piece can make a world of a difference.
2. Add an accent piece. This can give your focus pieces a little more color, adding more attention to them. Accent pieces can be fun, so go crazy! They don't have to necessarily match as long as they fit the flow of your room.
3. Add an area rug. Area rugs can change the entire flow of your room. It can be loud, allowing you to use simple, quiet and 'clean' furniture or it can be simple, allowing you to use bold pieces in your home.
4. Change your lighting. By reducing the wattage of your light bulb, you will be able to create a softer, more romantic atmosphere. If you don't like the lamps you have, simple redecorate your lamp shade with lace, buttons or anything else you have around the house.
To find furniture pieces that wont break the bank, shop at places such as Hobby Lobby, IKEA, flea markets or clearance racks. You can find the same items that are listed in high end stores for a fraction of the price. This is allow you to get the most of your dollar while creating a great look that is sure to impress all of your friends and family.
