Mix it Up For a contemporary feel , embrace mixed metals in the kitchen and bathroom . No need to match !
Exposed Beams , White Porcelain and Upcycled Lighting For vintage farmhouse style , add exposed wooden beams on the ceiling and white shiplap paneling on an interior wall . For decor , fill a vintage china hutch with gracious white stoneware pitchers and consider adding an upcycled chandelier over a wooden plank table . A full pitcher of freshly picked flowers as a table centerpiece is always welcoming for friends and family .
Play with Patterns Paint is a powerful design tool , but if you ’ re unable to change the walls , try removable peel and stick wallpaper – it gives any space a designer look without the long-term commitment .
