Amberr Meadows declares "The window can
be the focal point of a room- if you do it right.
Perhaps you’ve seen a fabric that you love, but it
doesn’t quite go with your room? Then decorate
around it!" She suggest decorating walls with
colors that complement the fabric in the drapes.
In addition, accent pieces such as sculptures or
paintings can tie various elements of a room
together.
Decorative room dividers can help create private
spaces in small rooms while adding colorful and
artistic elements to a room. An artistic pattern
on a tablecloth can create a focal point for dining
rooms.
Whether you make your home more colorful
by painting or by using home décor and accent
pieces, it is important to decorate your home in a
way that suits your tastes and your home's style
and personality, however unique it may be.
