As you’re focusing on specific components, you need to consider the area as a whole to ensure the final look is aesthetically pleasing. We’ve summarized the tips from the video below. And since you’re here, check out our artwork. We have styles for any décor.

1. Start with a floor plan, even before you’ve decided on a style
2. Area rugs are a great way to set the tone of a room – Choose a rug with a pattern as it will hide stains and wear
3. When selecting a sofa for a dual-purpose space, look for sophisticated and comfortable, which is perfect for a living/family room
4. Remember to balance the style of each component; for example, an antique mirror with a modern coffee table
5. Try placing a bookshelf between the wall and the sofa for a different look. A bookshelf can also work as a space divider
6. Add greenery into your space; especially flowers, which can be changed out every week
7. Think about conversation when you’re laying out a space. Adding a bench is an interesting way to add additional seating
