  • Take the Color with No Regrets class to learn why to never ask again, “What is your favorite color?”
  • Pay close attention to the undertones of colors to make sure they work together.
  • Establish the Focal Point(s). Is it Architectural, Natural or Functional?
  • Conversation grouping should seat 4-6 and occupy a space no larger than 8-10′
  • Area rugs add warmth; anchor to a piece of furniture. Select a rug 5 x 8′ or larger.
  • Don’t stagger art; it is one of the quickest ways to date a room.
  • You are never done decorating. Changes in your life, income, and exposure to new products will encourage you to continually grow and develop.
