Consider the balance and harmony of decor furniture and artwork when designing a room ensuring your selections complement each other and do not overwhelm the space

Style Tips

Keep the colour palette simple and limited; magnify with texture A classic combination of black, white and tan grounds the space and maintains the integrity for years to come

Create character through decor accessories like vases, woven baskets, artwork and fresh blooms

Pay attention to the balance of various textures and colours used throughout the space Smooth objects like candles, vases, tabletops and glass juxtapose the exposed brick, woven textures, antiques and natural timber elements

Think of texture as building up the layers, starting from the ground up

Style Tip

Mix contemporary selections with vintage art for a curated discerning look

Pair simple frames with period art subjects or modern art framed in thick ornate frames, for a perfect statement piece

Raw timber brings an organic feel and look to a room. Choose wood with a beautiful grain or patina as an injection of character Timber accents through beams, doors or a mantle can add much-needed depth to a space, especially in new construction homes.
