Interior Decorating TipsThere are very few rules when decorating; however there are some guidelines that are often helpful. These are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions when I am speaking with clients.

Choosing Paint Colours

  • Paint colour selection should be last!
  • Choose furniture, drapery, artwork and floor coverings first.
  • Take colours from the above or to compliment the above.
  • Open Concept? Choose main colour then go a few shades lighter or darker on the same chip throughout the main floor to create flow.

Where to hang artwork

  • Bottom of artwork should be 8 – 10” above furnishings.
  • Artwork in halls or stairwells should be hung with middle of piece approximately 66” above the floor.
  • Odd number groupings are most visually appealing 1, 3, 5, and 7 etc...

What size area rug

  • Furniture should sit on the area rug, the rug should be large enough for this where possible.
  • It is ideal to have 12 – 20” perimeter of floor around the edge of the rug.
