Create a Gallery Wall Give your room some personality – whether it be through family photos or artistic prints – with a grid / linear or organically placed gallery wall . We suggest arranging the frames on the floor first to determine placement before hammering into the wall .

Use a Variety of Textures Incorporate different textures throughout your home with wood , metal , glass and other elements so objects do not appear as monochromatic or flat . Then , add greenery for a softer , more fluid texture , plus a pop of color .

Cozy on Up Now that we are spending more time at home , create a comfy reading nook with a bookshelf to relax in . For added interest , add wallpaper to the inside / back of the bookshelf .
Reuse , Reuse , Reuse If you ’ re in need of furniture , consider rehabbing and repurposing a preloved piece . For example , an old desk or dry sink can make a great center kitchen island , a vintage baker ’ s rack can act as an open-air catch-all for your dishware or knick knacks , and a secondhand dresser can be a perfect TV stand solution . Just spruce them up a bit with a new paint job or stain to match your aesthetic .
