1. Match your Appliances – Don’t get a stove from 1950s with the newest Samsung fridge! It doesn’t flow. Even if they are different vendors at least match the finish. Make them cohesive in finish. 

2. Good lighting – Never make lighting a afterthought. It could ruin the entire vibe in a home. Thank God my husband tackled that when we moved in. And finally I replaced the light fixtures in the kitchen. What a difference! My kitchen looked bigger after that. 

3. Add art in your kitchen vs a Home Kitchen sign – it will make the kitchen more beautiful and flow as if it is a museum of some sort. I feel like the kitchen is not just the place to cook, it is also a place to inspire. 

4. Balance out patterns & prints with solid colors – the best thing I did was add the Scandinavian rug to my lounge space. I love adding solid colors with a bold print. It makes the difference. I also love my Britto artwork hanging on a solid teal blue wall, it gives the space dimension somehow. 

5. Decorate around the TV vs leaving it alone – I loved adding an off center wallpaper to give the area around the TV some excitement. It was also great to add shelves as well. The TV is the focal point but it’s also important to have thing compliment around it. Check out my post on making my built-in

6. Having a focal point – Loved adding a black accent wall to our master bedroom gave the room more warmth. My ceilings are severely high and it really made the room feel cold with all the white walls. I had to do something to switch it up. So glad I added a black wall.
