Look Outside The Box

Creativity is the staple of design. If you are looking for the one thing for your room to accomplish, it should be originality.

I know you hear phrases like, “I want it to look like it came out of a magazine!”, but I will never tell you to replicate a picture in a magazine. Getting inspiration from a magazine is ideal, that’s what the magazines are printed for. Yet, copying gives you no play room. When decorating, you NEED room to play; trust me.

The only way you can look outside the norm is to get out there. Visit furniture showrooms or go to antique shops and challenge yourself by stopping at places you wouldn’t usually stop at for art, furniture, or accessories.

Basically, be innovative. Be original, creative, and imaginative. Think different and overall think fun. This should be fun for you, if it is not, I suggest hiring an interior designer.
