Many home offices are boring, bland, and not really decorated. They often have either large traditional stained wood furniture that is too big for the room and doesn't accommodate technology very well, or cheap discount store wobbly furniture that could topple over at any minute. Electrical and data cords are typically laid across the floor in an unorganized fashion and papers are stacked because there are not filing systems in place. There is no reason for a home office to be sterile and purely utilitarian. Here are a few ways to make your home office more happy. ClutterStart by cleaning up your home office because clutter makes everyone unhappy. Invest in a paper shredder and get rid of outdated paperwork. Find a permanent spot for the items you have to keep. Remove items from your office that belong elsewhere. Create a system for how to purge or file paperwork as it enters your home office. Consider hiding ugly file cabinets in a closet or behind a decorative screen. Either hide your electrial and data cords or go wireless. Find creative ways to hide your router and other technology items. FurniturePurchase furniture that actually works for you and your home office necessities instead of furniture that only looks pretty. You may only need a small table to rest your laptop when it is not on your lap, or you may need a full blown computer workstation to accommodate your 3 monitors, 2 desktop computers, 2 cell phones, headset, landline phone, and a printer. Also make sure that you get a comfortable chair to sit in. If you plan on sitting for long periods of time, choose comfort and ergonomics over aesthetics. Consider purchasing quality commercial grade office furniture from a used office furniture dealer for a great price and professional installation. These dealers buy office furniure from companies that no longer need it, and will make sure that the furniture has been properly cleaned and is in an as-new condition. Make sure to consider getting a sit-stand desk #ad so you are not sitting all day. You might need to have your office furniture custom built to fully utilize a small space or to accommodate your specific needs. It might be custom built freestanding (like a table) or attached to your home (like kitchen cabinets). Make sure to consider electrical and data outlet placement when selecting furniture. Desks floating in the middle of the room often have a problem trying to hide electrial cords. Grommets (holes in the top of the desk for electrical cords to reach an outlet) should be considered. Don't forget to consider modesty when selecting a desk that faces the door. Many desks offer modesty panels that go on the front to partially cover the legs of the person sitting at the desk. Make sure your office is functional before you attempt to make it happy and pretty. ColorNow that everything is in place and functional, we can work on making your home office happy. FIrst, find a starting point to create the happy design for your office. The starting point could be colorful artwork, a fun rug, graphic wallpaper, beautiful curtains, or the fact that you love the color pink. Next, build your overall home office design off of that starting point. You may want to be surrounded by bold color, or maybe you prefer a more serene environment with just a little touch of color. Select complimentary items that coordinate with your starting point item. You can get a colorful decorative pillow, some pretty file boxes, an elegant lamp, or some beautiful curtains. LightingGood lighting is essential for a home office. Natural lighting is best, so let the sunshine in. Having a view out your window will make you happier and let your eyes occasionally rest from staring at a computer screen all day. Most home offices have an overhead light source, but also consider getting a decorative lamp so you can change the light level as needed throughout the day. Also consider replacing your basic overhead light or ceiling fan with something more decorative that compliments your design aesthetic. If you have an overhead cabinet or shelves, consider adding under cabinet lighting so you have plenty of light on your worksurface. TextureAdding texture to your office makes it feel less sterile and more happy. Consider using wicker baskets, textural looking wood elements, shiny items, soft items, glossy items, and mirrored items to add texture. Other SensesConsider your other senses when decorating your happy home office. Do you want music in your office? Would you like an essential oil diffuser #ad so your office smells nice? What about a place for snacks or a small refrigerator to hold beverages? Remind Yourself Why You WorkTo stay happy while working, try to continually remind yourself why you work. Are you working to support your family? Are you working to afford an amazing vacation? Are you working to save for a new home? Surround yourself with items that remind you why you work so hard so you can be happy putting in the long hours. You can decorate with family photos, paintings of far away places, or souveniers from past travels. AccessoriesFinish off your home office design with meaningful accessories. Make sure you don't clutter your home office with cheap mass-produced accessories that just take up space. You can use artwork from your travels, figurines that were a gift from a friend, hard back books, family photos in beautiful frames, and fresh flowers you picked from your garden earlier in the day. Use accessories that are dual purpose, such as decorative glass jars that hold office supplies. The best looking desktop accessories are repurposed decorative items that don't come from the office supply store. Instead of all basic black or silver office products, consider using colored file folders, push pins, binder clips, stapler, and desktop accessories to complete the look of your happy home office.

Maximalism is a design style that uses an abundance of wonderful items all on display at the same time. Bordering on cluttered, maximalism is all about surrounding yourself with the stuff you love. Here are a few tips & tricks for how to decorate in a maximalist style without your home looking too messy. Embrace Bold ColorsOne of the most popular elements of maximalism is the use of bold and vibrant colors. Use colors that make you happy and wake you up in the morning instead of colors that are "safe" and boring that everyone else uses in their homes. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors that are not often paired together. Uniqueness is appreciated in a maximalist style. If you're not sure where to start, pick one large item with many colors (such as a large rug or piece of art) and decorate your room using the colors in that item. Select at least 3 colors and repeat those colors in at least 3 places in your room. For an added designer touch, also add in colors that are lighter or darker versions of your 3 colors for added depth of color. For example, one of your colors might be turquoise. You can decorate your room with turquoise lamps, some art with the color turquoise, and some turquoise candle holders. In addition to turquoise, you can add accessories in the color aqua (which is a lighter version of turquoise) and other accessories in a dark turquoise color. Do not have an equal amount of each color visible in your room else your room might look overly styled and not natural. For best results, select a certain color to be 60% of the color in your room, another color to be 30% of the color, and the 3rd color to be only 10% of the color in your room. Mix and Match PatternsMaximalism is all about mixing and matching different patterns to create a one-of-a-kind look. Avoid mixing and matching patterns from the same store - select items from different stores so you don't end up with the same style as your neighbors. Don't be afraid to decorate using stripes with polka dots, florals with animal prints, and/or geometric shapes with abstract designs. When it comes to mixing patterns, there are a few key tips to keep in mind.... First, try to choose patterns that are a similar color which will help to tie the different patterns together and create a cohesive look. Second, mix patterns of different scales, such as a large-scale floral with a small-scale geometric print so the patterns don't try to compete with each other. Use Texture to Add DepthMaximalism is not just about using a wide range of items with different color and pattern, it is also about using a mixture of textures. Rooms without much texture tend to feel sterile and boring, so feel free to add as much texture as you want. Some popular textural fabric include velvet, leather, wool, and fur. You can also use textured wallpapers, rugs, and/or pillows to add warmth to your room. Also consider addig some rough textures to contrast with your soft textures, such as wicker, exposed brick, and vintage hard back books with fabric or leather binding. Mix and Match Furniture StylesMaximalism and eclectic furniture go hand in hand. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of furniture to create a space that's unique and full of your own personality & style. Consider pairing a vintage sofa with a modern coffee table or mixing mid-century modern chairs with a rustic dining table for a one-of-a-kind unique aesthetic. When mixing furniture styles, make sure to consider scale and proportion since your items should feel like you picked them exclusively for your home, not just thrown together hand-me-downs. Using an eclectic mix of furniture is a great way to ensure that your home does not look like your neighbor's and it is uniquely yours. Don't Forget the ArtUse unique, collected, and/or bold pieces of art to add personality to your maximalist space and repeat your color scheme. Consider using oversized pieces of art to make a bold statement. You can also use a gallery wall, which is a collection of different pieces of smaller art that is hung together to create the feeling of one larger piece of art. Also consider using sculptures in your room, which are especially dramatic with an uplight. You can use basically any art piece that you love, but make sure that you love it and didn't just buy some generic piece of art to fill the space. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of art, as long as they create a cohesive look and feel. When hanging your art, make sure to consider the height at which you hang your art. In general, the center of your art should be hung around eye level, which is typically around 60 inches from the floor. Add Layers with AccessoriesThe use of many accessories is vital in maximalist design. Select accessories that repeat your room's color scheme and style to create cohesion. Feel free to paint items that you already own but whose color doesn't quite suit your needs. Metallic spray paint is a favorite for bringing new life to old accessories. Use accessories in a variety of textures and materials to create visual interest and depth. This can include different materials like wood, stone, metal, paper, and woven items. Include unique vintage and antique items of interest that not only look good but are a good conversation starter. Collect your home accessories over time, not just in one shopping trip to one store, to ensure that you find unique items that you love and not mass produced items that simply fill the space. Use Unique LightingMaximalist spaces require maximalist lighting. One light fixture in the center of your ceiling is not good enough! You need to have multiple light sources for aesthetics and to be able to light your room according to the occasion. Consider upgrading your ceiling light to something more decorative or ignore it and only use it when you need maximum light while cleaning that room. Add unique light fixtures (such as chandeliers, wall sconces, and pendant lights) to add personality to your home. Beautiful colorful lamps or lamps that have a sculptural shape are a great unique addition to a maximalist space. For the best lighting in your home, consider adding each of the following....... Ambient lighting is the general lighting in the room, but it can also be decorative if you add a chandelier or pendant light as the main source of light. Task lighting is lighting directed towards an area where a certain task will be performed, such as a piano light for reading sheet music or a desk lamp. Accent lighting is lighting that accentuates an item of interest, such as an art light shining on a piece of art, an uplight in the pot of a tree, or light inside a china cabinet highlighting the gorgeous china.

A dining room should be impressive, but it also needs to be very functional. Whether you use your dining room for all of your everyday meals or it is just used for special occasions, there are many factors that you need to consider when decorating. Here are some interior design tips & tricks for how to decorate a dining room to make it both a beautiful and functional space. Determine Your StyleThe first step in decorating a dining room is to determine your style. Do you want a traditional look, a modern look, a contemporary look, or something in between? Don't ignore the adjacent room styles since the style of your home should be somewhat cohesive. If you're not sure what your style is, try gathering many images together of what you like. Pinterest is a good website to help with this task. After you have gathered 50-100 images, remove the ones that are not your favorite and you should be left with just a few that show your favorite style. Continue this process to refine your style even more. Don't forget to involve other decision makers in the house in this process. It's important to decide on your style before you start shopping for furniture and decor items. Choose Your Color PaletteOnce you've determined the style of your dining room, you should choose your color palette. Make sure to keep in mind the colors in your adjacent rooms to ensure that your dining room colors are in a similar style. They do not have to be the same colors, but they do need to feel like they are complementary. You might want to use bold colors for a dramatic look (especially if your dining room is only used on special occasions) or you might prefer more neutral tones for a more relaxed feel. One way to easily create a color palette for your room is to select a large item, such as a rug or large piece of art, that has many colors in it. You can use 3 or more of those colors to create your color palette. For a more interesting color palette, you can also use a lighter and/or darker version of each of your colors in your color palette. This will also make shopping for other home decor easier since you will have a wider range of colors to choose from. The best way to create a cohesive look in your dining room is to use your colors in multiple places throughout your room. For example, the green in your art can be repeated as green in your curtains, green in your dining chairs, and green in some candlesticks. You Need a Focal PointAll rooms need a at least one focal point, and that includes your dining room. Your dining room focal point could be a large piece of artwork, a unique light fixture, or a statement piece of furniture. You might even choose to add a fireplace. The most common focal point in dining rooms is a grand chandelier. Another common focal point is an elaborate dining table or china hutch. If your dining room is missing a focal point, the easiest way to add one is to simply add a dining table centerpiece. Consider Your LightingLighting is an essential part of any dining room, however most people only have a basic and boring small chandelier in the center of the room. Don't be afraid to go bold with lighting! Your chandelier should not be the one that was installed by your builder and is the same as every other house on your street. Be unique and add some personality with a new chandelier! You can go with something every elaborate if you have a traditional home or something more sculptural and artistic if you have a more modern home. Also consider having more than one chandelier, especially if you have a rectangular table. Don't forget a dimmer for your chandelier so you can set the perfect mood. The best designed rooms do not have just one source of light. If you have art in your dining room, consider having an art light to showcase the art. If you have a china hutch, you can add lights to showcase your china. You can also add wall sconce to add light to the perimeter of your dining room. Candles on your dining table also contribute to your mood lighting. Choose the Right FurnitureYou should give a lot of thought and consideration to your dining room furniture, else you might create a space that nobody wants to use. The dining table should be large enough to accommodate your family and guests. When choosing your dining chairs, make sure they're comfortable and complement your overall design aesthetic. If you have a small dining room, measure the dimensions of your room to see if a round table will fit the room better than a rectangular one. You might also need to eliminate your china hutch or sideboard to maximize the dining table if your room is too small to seat the amount of people that you want. Also consider whether your dining table comes with a leaf that can increase the size of your table when needed. Most leafs are 12-18 inches wide and the same width as your table. Some dining tables come with more than one. Make sure you have a place to store your leafs when not in use (maybe under your bed?). Don't Forget About StorageDon't forget about where you are going to store all of your stuff in your dining room. You'll need a place to store your dishes, silverware, glassware, table linens, and other dining room items. Traditionally, people use a sideboard, china cabinet, or buffet that matches their dining table to store their stuff. Also consider using a non-traditional piece of furniture for storage in your dining room, such as an armoire. You can even create a built-in storage piece custom made to your exact specifications. This storage piece can also serve as a place to put food served buffet style. If you have a butler's pantry, you might select a smaller storage piece, or no storage piece, since you can store most of your tableware in there. Consider the FlooringWhen selecting flooring for your dining room, make sure to consider your lifestyle and your guests. If you have young kids or tend to be a bit messy (or your guests tend to be a bit messy), then a lighter colored carpet in your dining room is not a good option since it will be a constant cleaning nightmare. If you have tile in adjacent areas to your dining room, you can continue the tile through the dining room for a cohesive look. Hardwood floors are a popular choice for dining rooms because they're durable and easy to clean, however you will need to clean up any spills immediately to avoid damage.. Consider adding an area rug to your dining room for added color, texture, and softness. Don't Forget the WallsYou can paint your dining room walls a solid color or you can do something a little bit more unexpected. A more unique option is to add paneling to your dining room walls for added drama and interest. Wallpaper is another popular option for dining rooms. Many dining rooms have paneling on the lower part of the wall and wallpaper on the top. If you want to add something really special to your dining room, consider hiring someone to paint a mural personalized to your family. Don't forget about the ceiling - it does not have to be plain white. Ceilings can be painted a fun color and/or have molding added. Add Decorative AccentsDecorative accents are the "cherry on top" that will make your dining room extra special. Large decorative accents include items such as wall art, a rug, and/or curtains. Smaller decorative accents include candlesticks, a table runner/tablecloth, and your dining table centerpiece. These items can add texture, color, and personality to your dining room so it is not so boring and bland. Consider which decorative accents will be seen when your dining table is not in use, but also consider which decorative accents you will use when having a dinner party. Add GreenerySince dining rooms can often feel a bit sterile, adding greenery is a good option to add life to the space. Not only do plants add color and texture, but they also help purify the air. You can add plants to the corners of your room or have one large plant in the center of your dining table. When choosing your plants, make sure they're appropriate for the lighting conditions in your dining room so they will look their best. Live plants always look better than fake ones, as long as they are healthy. If you can't keep a real plant looking good, then you can buy a faux plant, but make sure it is of the highest quality (not from a cheap accessory store or big box store) and it is cleaned regularly. Instead of a plant, you might opt for fresh flowers in a vase in the center of your dining table. You can keep fresh flower in your dining room daily or just when you are expecting dinner guests. Personalize the SpaceDon't forget to personalize your dining room so it is special and unique to you. Your dining room should include items that showcase your own personality and style, not be a one-for-one copy of the style of your favorite home decor store. You can add family photos, one-of-a-kind art (that you bought or made yourself), and items from your childhood or travels. You can even decorate your dining room with your grandmother's fine china or other items that have been handed down to you. When personalizing your dining room, make sure you don't go overboard - too many personal items can make your dining room feel cluttered and messy.

The focal point of a room grabs the attention of people entering the room, draws those people into the room, and sets the tone for the overall feeling of that room. Rooms without a focal point often seem monotonous without having a spot for someone to initially focus their attention when entering the room. There can be a few focal points in a room, however more than 3 focal points seems to make a room feel cluttered. Here are some ideas for how to create a focal point in a room. Living RoomIn a living room, an obvious focal point would be a fireplace. If you have a fireplace, make sure your furniture is facing the fireplace and not the television on an opposite wall. You do not want a beautiful fireplace to compete for attention from a not-so-attractive TV. You may need to relocate the television to the same wall as the fireplace so the focal point can be shared by the fireplace and television. If you do not have a fireplace, you can use a large bold piece of artwork, a piano, or a beautiful light fixture as your focal point. You can even have a sofa with colorful pillows acting as your living room focal point. If you have a beautiful view out your window, the outside view might also be the focal point, but make sure you illuminate the outside view at night so your focal point does not disappear. Dining Room or Breakfast RoomIn a dining room or breakfast room, the dining table can be the focal point. Make sure to accessorize the table when not in use to immediately draw the eye of someone entering the room. Setting out dishes as if you are about to host dinner is an outdated fad. Instead, use a centerpiece of flowers or beautiful tablescape to decorate your dining table. Instead of the focal point being the table, a beautiful chandelier or pendant light can be the focal point of the room. Another option for a dining room focal point is an oversized piece of art. {loadposition myposition} BedroomIn a bedroom, the most common focal point is the bed. You can use beautiful bed linens or gorgeous throw pillows on the bed to capture attention and focus. If you prefer simple linens, you can use a beautiful headboard or large artwork over the bed as the focal point of your bedroom. If you decorate with artwork as your bedroom focal point, you can use one large piece of art, or a collection of 2 or 3 large complementary pieces that act as one collection. A common for wall art in a bedroom is over the bed or one piece of art over each nightstand. EntryThe most common focal point in a home's entry is an entry table vignette. The entry table usually has a large piece of art or a beautiful mirror hung on the wall above the entry table. On the entry table is usually a lamp, flowers, and other accessories. If your entry is large enough, you can add a circular table in the middle of the room with flowers or other accessories on top to be a focal point. If your entry does not have room for an entry table on a wall or in the middle of the room, a beautiful chandelier or pendant light is a good focal point option. OutsideOutside your home, your front door should be a focal point so visitors know where enter your home. In your back yard, your focal point could be a large tree with uplighting or a swimming pool with a waterfall. Other focal points may include colorful flower beds, garden art, a gazebo, or a water feature. Save
Maximalism is a design style that uses an abundance of wonderful items all on display at the same time. Bordering on cluttered, maximalism is all about surrounding yourself with the stuff you love. Here are a few tips & tricks for how to decorate in a maximalist style without your home looking too messy. Embrace Bold ColorsOne of the most popular elements of maximalism is the use of bold and vibrant colors. Use colors that make you happy and wake you up in the morning instead of colors that are "safe" and boring that everyone else uses in their homes. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors that are not often paired together. Uniqueness is appreciated in a maximalist style.

Mix and Match Furniture StylesMaximalism and eclectic furniture go hand in hand. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of furniture to create a space that's unique and full of your own personality & style. Consider pairing a vintage sofa with a modern coffee table or mixing mid-century modern chairs with a rustic dining table for a one-of-a-kind unique aesthetic.

Collect your home accessories over time, not just in one shopping trip to one store, to ensure that you find unique items that you love and not mass produced items that simply fill the space. Use Unique LightingMaximalist spaces require maximalist lighting. One light fixture in the center of your ceiling is not good enough! You need to have multiple light sources for aesthetics and to be able to light your room according to the occasion. Consider upgrading your ceiling light to something more decorative or ignore it and only use it when you need maximum light while cleaning that room. Add unique light fixtures (such as chandeliers, wall sconces, and pendant lights) to add personality to your home. Beautiful colorful lamps or lamps that have a sculptural shape are a great unique addition to a maximalist space. For the best lighting in your home, consider adding each of the following....... Ambient lighting is the general lighting in the room, but it can also be decorative if you add a chandelier or pendant light as the main source of light. Task lighting is lighting directed towards an area where a certain task will be performed, such as a piano light for reading sheet music or a desk lamp. Accent lighting is lighting that accentuates an item of interest, such as an art light shining on a piece of art, an uplight in the pot of a tree, or light inside a china cabinet highlighting the gorgeous china.

Decorating with bright colors is a fantastic way to infuse your home with energy, personality, and vibrancy. If you find the colors beige, gray, white, and creme boring, you might want to decorate your home with bright and bold colors. Consider your wardrobe when decorating your home.....do you wear khaki pants and a white shirt regularly, or do you dress in bright and bold colors? Do basic off-white colored walls make you feel comfortable and safe, or do they look extremely drab and boring to you? People are often intimidated when decorating because they are afraid to make a mistake or they want to play it safe for the next potential buyer of their home (even though they have no intention of selling anytime soon). Your home is yours, not the next owner, so make it what you want it to be (else you are basically renting your house from the next owner). Don't be afraid to do something different, even if it is not typical for your neighborhood. People will appreciate your unique approach to interior design and they might be inspired to use bright and bold colors in their homes also. It's crucial to approach decorating with bright colors strategically to avoid overwhelming looking interiors. Here are a few interior design tips, tricks, and techniques for mastering the art of decorating with bright colors to create stunning and impactful interiors that reflect your unique style and personality.. Less is MoreWhen decorating with bright and bold colors in your home, select 3 different dominant colors per room that will be your color scheme, but be cautious of using more. If you have more than 3 bright and bold colors in your room, it can start to feel like a circus and be overwhelming. Use the 3 colors in different proportions, such as your #1 color can be 50% of the dominant color in the room, your #2 color can be 35% of the dominant color in the room, and your #3 color can be 15% of the dominant color in the room. For a more interesting interior design, also consider using a lighter and darker version of each color to create more depth of color. Once you have 3 dominant colors in your room, consider adding 1 more color at a time as an experiment, but make sure you are willing to remove that extra color if the interior design is no longer what you desire. Skip Primary ColorsFor a more sophisticated look in your home, consider skipping the primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) and decorate with blended colors instead. Decorating with exclusively primary colors in a home can often give the look of a preschool. Select color shades (a darker version of the color + black), tones (a more muted version of the color + gray), and tints (a lighter version of the color + white) for a more sophisticated color scheme. Opt for more unique colors, such as emerald green, rust, mustard yellow, deep purple, teal, turquoise, coral, fuchsia, saphire blue, burnt orange, lime green, aqua, and plum. Add Some Neutrals for ContrastBalance is key when decorating with bright colors. Black, white, and gray help accentuate the bright and bold colors by creating contrast and keeping the colors from being overly stimulating. Avoid decorating with too many other neutrals that have a light brown undertone, such as beige and khaki, which may make the bright and bold colors look muddy. You can also decorate using colors that are almost black to help your bright and bold colors pop, such as dark navy or dark teal. By using neutral backgrounds for walls, floors, and larger furniture pieces, you can prevent the space from feeling overwhelming and allow bright colors to take center stage. Natural ElementsTexture plays a crucial role in adding depth and visual interest to your decor, especially when working with bright colors. Add a few natural elements to your home decor for added texture and a touch of nature. You can add hardwood floors, a wicker basket, a bamboo tray, a rattan box, or a stone fireplace. Mix and match natural textures to add dimension and complexity to your decor, creating a visually engaging and dynamic space. Don't Overdo ItBright and bold colors are very powerful, so don't go overboard decorating with a million different colors, else your room might be overly stimulating and uncomfortable to spend time in. Decorate with your powerful colors in moderation. Think of how you want the room to feel in addition to how you want the room to look. Consider decorating with at least half of your room neutral and use bright and bold colors in the other half. You can keep the ceiling white, the doors black or white, and the flooring stained wood or a neutral carpet or tile. Keep Expensive Items NeutralThe bold and bright colors you love today may be the colors you hate tomorrow. Consider using your colors on lesser expensive decor items that you can change out in a few years, such as wall paint, pillows, and accessories. You can also use bright colors on dining chair seats (not backs) since they are relatively inexpensive to reupholster (you might even be able to do it yourself) and will probably be worn enough to need reupholstery in 5-10 years when you are ready for a color change. Keep your big ticket items, such as your sofa or dining table, a neutral color that will work with your next color scheme also. Not Too BusySince bold and bright colors demand so much attention, make sure the decor in the rest of your room is more subdued so your color choices can take center stage. Consider keeping decorative accessories to a minimum to avoid clutter on surfaces, unless you love the maximalist style. If you choose to decorate with many bright and bold colors, then consider using minimal patterns and embellishments. If you use fewer bold colors, feel free to use multiple patterns for interest. Furniture should typically not be too ornate when using bold colors since the colors will be the star of the show. Don't Forget LightingSince bold and bright colors can be darker than plain white, make sure the room is lit properly from multiple lighting sources. You can use a fabulous chandelier, wall sconces, lamps, accent lighting, tast lighting, table lamps, floor lamps, and more. Dimmer switches are a great option for being able to adjust light levels to set the appropriate mood, yet be very bright for cleaning purposes. Also consider using mirrors since they bounce light around a room. Ensure that your light bulbs are all the same color temperature, which is marked as K on the back of the package. The lower the number, the warmer (more yellow) the light. The higher number, the cooler (more blue) the light.

Maximalism is a design style that uses an abundance of wonderful items all on display at the same time. Bordering on cluttered, maximalism is all about surrounding yourself with the stuff you love. Here are a few tips & tricks for how to decorate in a maximalist style without your home looking too messy. Embrace Bold ColorsOne of the most popular elements of maximalism is the use of bold and vibrant colors. Use colors that make you happy and wake you up in the morning instead of colors that are "safe" and boring that everyone else uses in their homes. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors that are not often paired together. Uniqueness is appreciated in a maximalist style. If you're not sure where to start, pick one large item with many colors (such as a large rug or piece of art) and decorate your room using the colors in that item. Select at least 3 colors and repeat those colors in at least 3 places in your room. For an added designer touch, also add in colors that are lighter or darker versions of your 3 colors for added depth of color. For example, one of your colors might be turquoise. You can decorate your room with turquoise lamps, some art with the color turquoise, and some turquoise candle holders. In addition to turquoise, you can add accessories in the color aqua (which is a lighter version of turquoise) and other accessories in a dark turquoise color. Do not have an equal amount of each color visible in your room else your room might look overly styled and not natural. For best results, select a certain color to be 60% of the color in your room, another color to be 30% of the color, and the 3rd color to be only 10% of the color in your room. Mix and Match PatternsMaximalism is all about mixing and matching different patterns to create a one-of-a-kind look. Avoid mixing and matching patterns from the same store - select items from different stores so you don't end up with the same style as your neighbors. Don't be afraid to decorate using stripes with polka dots, florals with animal prints, and/or geometric shapes with abstract designs. When it comes to mixing patterns, there are a few key tips to keep in mind.... First, try to choose patterns that are a similar color which will help to tie the different patterns together and create a cohesive look. Second, mix patterns of different scales, such as a large-scale floral with a small-scale geometric print so the patterns don't try to compete with each other. Use Texture to Add DepthMaximalism is not just about using a wide range of items with different color and pattern, it is also about using a mixture of textures. Rooms without much texture tend to feel sterile and boring, so feel free to add as much texture as you want. Some popular textural fabric include velvet, leather, wool, and fur. You can also use textured wallpapers, rugs, and/or pillows to add warmth to your room. Also consider addig some rough textures to contrast with your soft textures, such as wicker, exposed brick, and vintage hard back books with fabric or leather binding. Mix and Match Furniture StylesMaximalism and eclectic furniture go hand in hand. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of furniture to create a space that's unique and full of your own personality & style. Consider pairing a vintage sofa with a modern coffee table or mixing mid-century modern chairs with a rustic dining table for a one-of-a-kind unique aesthetic. When mixing furniture styles, make sure to consider scale and proportion since your items should feel like you picked them exclusively for your home, not just thrown together hand-me-downs. Using an eclectic mix of furniture is a great way to ensure that your home does not look like your neighbor's and it is uniquely yours. Don't Forget the ArtUse unique, collected, and/or bold pieces of art to add personality to your maximalist space and repeat your color scheme. Consider using oversized pieces of art to make a bold statement. You can also use a gallery wall, which is a collection of different pieces of smaller art that is hung together to create the feeling of one larger piece of art. Also consider using sculptures in your room, which are especially dramatic with an uplight. You can use basically any art piece that you love, but make sure that you love it and didn't just buy some generic piece of art to fill the space. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of art, as long as they create a cohesive look and feel. When hanging your art, make sure to consider the height at which you hang your art. In general, the center of your art should be hung around eye level, which is typically around 60 inches from the floor. Add Layers with AccessoriesThe use of many accessories is vital in maximalist design. Select accessories that repeat your room's color scheme and style to create cohesion. Feel free to paint items that you already own but whose color doesn't quite suit your needs. Metallic spray paint is a favorite for bringing new life to old accessories. Use accessories in a variety of textures and materials to create visual interest and depth. This can include different materials like wood, stone, metal, paper, and woven items. Include unique vintage and antique items of interest that not only look good but are a good conversation starter. Collect your home accessories over time, not just in one shopping trip to one store, to ensure that you find unique items that you love and not mass produced items that simply fill the space. Use Unique LightingMaximalist spaces require maximalist lighting. One light fixture in the center of your ceiling is not good enough! You need to have multiple light sources for aesthetics and to be able to light your room according to the occasion. Consider upgrading your ceiling light to something more decorative or ignore it and only use it when you need maximum light while cleaning that room.

Beautiful colorful lamps or lamps that have a sculptural shape are a great unique addition to a maximalist space. For the best lighting in your home, consider adding each of the following.......
