Basics of Home Decor:

Function

Determine the Focal Point of the Room
The focal point is what your entire decor will be based on. Accent off the focal point of the room to draw the main attention back to this point. Your focal point can be a number of things - a rug, a statement furniture piece, a wall hanging.

Assess Your Current Furniture
Does your furniture fit your space well? Is there too much going on in your room? Take a minute to think about your current pieces and ensure they all fit together well and have a clear purpose.

Think About Flow
Each room should have a distinct traffic flow. If the flow your space right now doesn't work, it's time to rearrange your space to make it work with your unique layout and needs.

Balance

Incorporate Symmetrical Balance
You can achieve a symmetrical balance by ensuring your room is visually balanced. Add items in twos when it comes to creating symmetry.

Add Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical balance adds symmetry with two different types of items. A heavy item on one side balances out two light items on the other. Think about counteracting the size and attention drawn to various items in your space.

Character

There are a number of ways to add character to your space. Accessories like a lamp, rug, home decor, and unique furniture pieces are a great way to increase the character factor of your home. If you have a family heirloom that goes with your decor, be sure to include this item, as well. It's a great conversational piece and showcases your family - which is what your home is all about!
