NEW HOME DECORATING TIPS & TRICKS | VALENTINES DAY SPECIAL | FIXER UPPER NEW HOUSE DECORATING IDEAS

Joanna Gaines New House For Valentines Day
Today I’m sharing some of my very favorite decor tips. My head swims with decor ideas all the time!!!!
So much so that turning my mind off is often a no-go especially when I try to sleep!
You don’t need to be an interior designer to have a beautiful home that reflects you and your lifestyle you just need to “borrow” tips from other like minds and use them in your own way in your home!
I think this is the decorating idea I love the most and probably use the most in my home.
Mixing more expensive items with bargains is my favorite way to decorate. Like my Curlacue chest with a big bargain chippy lantern. LOVE the look.
Or mixing an upscale mirror in my dining room with old chippy shutters and white chamber pot lids!
Also mixing refined with a bit of rustic knocks down the stuffiness of a room and makes it more welcoming.
If left to my own natural design tendencies I would decorate quite formal.
But formal can look staid! And I want my home to look beautiful, approachable and comfortable. So I’ve learned the high/low mix is quite magical!
Every room in your home should have texture. Texture is the ability of our eyes (through our brains) to feel the different surfaces in a room.
Rough, smooth, scratchy, soft, lofty, shiny, hard, nubby and a so much more. Don’t overlook texture or a room will feel flat. And mix up texture!
Your eyes, brain, and room will thank you!
Pattern brings life, interest and personal style to a room. I love mixing pattern even in my most neutral rooms. If you are a little shy about mixing patterns pillows and throws are a good place to start.
A good rule of thumb is the 60/30/10 rule. Sixty percent your favorite pattern, 30 percent a complimentary and different scale pattern and 10 percent an accent pattern.
Keep them in the same color family for a no-fail mixed pattern look.
Each room should have a focal point. Some rooms the focal point may be a total standout and other rooms it may be more subtle.
The focal point is usually the first thing you notice when you walk in a room. It calls attention to itself and a room is usually decorated around it.
It’s fun to decorate and sometimes I don’t quite know when to stop. I’ll just keep decorating and embellishing!
So, when I’m decorating a room I must go back and edit, edit, edit!!!!! I’ve been looking at my home a lot lately and thinking I might be moving out some furniture to give more “breathing” space to what I have!
I like less and larger than more and smaller. I’d take a big wall clock over a grouping of small pictures any day! Or one large spectacular vignette over a collecting of things scattered about.
Decorating is all about translating your personality and style into your living space.
So fill it with what you love and things that make it easy to live in. Nothing is sadder than going into someone’s home and not really knowing who lives there.
If your home lacks personality it is probably yours!It is so important that my home reflects me and how we live.
And it’s also imperative that Stone Gable feels welcoming and authentic to us! I love classic furnishings but I also love a touch of whimsy!
Layering decor is not always the most natural decorating thing we do. But it’s probably the most important skill you can acquire.
And you CAN acquire it! Seriously, study rooms you love and take notice of the layers in the room. Then practice on a room in your home!
My style is Traditional or Classic American styling mixed with a little refined farmhouse, industrial, and a nod to a bit of cottage.
Any one of those decor styles alone would be so boring!!!! And not me. I love an eclectic look. Or at least sort of eclectic!
