<h1>Warming Up The Space</h1>
<p>We always start with our rugs! This rug from India was the perfect way to bring in definition to the room, bring in a little warmth, and bring in a touch of traditional. </p>
<p>We designed this room around the colors of the rug. We loved the subtle warm tones and the different shades of blues and grays for the space. We kept in mind the colorful living room and the accents we were going to use in the foyer entrance. This helps the entire space feel separate, but cohesive. </p>

<p>This room is super long and super tall. We picked some big furniture to fill up the space, but still wanted it to feel airy. The large buffet is a little over 4.5ft tall and is a traditional piece with so much details. We will be adding a little bit of a modern touch to the piece up next. </p>
<p>The modern chairs help with the airy feel and the gold accents play off the chandelier and some of the pieces in the foyer. </p>
<p>We also love bringing in all of the pieces for the room into the space. Usually we bring in several options for accessories, pillows, art, arrangements, and having them in the space helps see which ones will bring the space to life. </p>

<h1>Bringing It Together</h1>
<p>The table we chose for the space is traditional and modern with a gold accent. We love playing with heights in the room, especially when there’s a super tall piece involved. In this case we pulled from the rug to provide an accent with the taller end chairs. These are also in a crushed  velvet fabric to add some texture to the room. </p>

<p>If you look closely, we also added a little more color by pulling those dark tones from the rug via lumbar pillows in each end chair. Don’t they make the space feel a little more cozy? </p>

<p>The long table and tall ceilings called for a substantial center piece. We tied in a little antique bronzed vase with lots of orchids to bring both traditional and freshness into the spave</p>

<p>The buffet got a little lift with some acrylic door knobs and a modern take on a traditional lamp. There’s so much space on the buffet top and lots of storage inside - four shelves to display so much. </p>
<p>See how we finished off the space in the next slide.</p>

<p>The best place to start with a new space or when sprucing up your current space is the rug. A rug provides a way to cozy up a space. The rug also provides colors to pull from throughout your space. If you’re more minimal or modern, the rug is a great way to branch out and show a little personality. </p>

<h1>2. Set your large pieces</h1>
<p>It’s easiest to start by placing your large pieces in a room. This helps to show you the areas you have to fill and play with. You’ll be able to see a little of your new floor plan. Are you all about neutrals? Add a little spice to your neutral pieces by using different textures. Big pro tip: get your new pieces in performance fabrics - so easy to clean. Yes, for those little ones and also for that friend who spills their wine. </p>

<p>Hunting accessories for a space is probably my favorite part. The accessories play a huge part in tying your space together - pick wisely! We budget a good amount for pillows. They truly elevate a space. Don’t be afraid to add more of your personality through the accessory process. For this particular space, we brought in the clients colorful personality through pillows, jars, flowers. All with a muted affect and pulling from the rug that set the mood for the space. </p>

<h1>4. Proportions &amp; Textures</h1>
<p>Make sure that your pieces make sense with the size of the room. Pick items that take up the right amount of space. Don’t be afraid to mix tones, but stay in the same family. Also, add some height in there. </p>

<h1>5. Seasonal Decor</h1>
<p>There’s nothing like working hard on the space and then having to adjust your room for seasonal decor, but really it’s all about the opposite. You upgraded your space, so it’s time to upgrade that seasonal decor. Making your seasonal decor fit your new space keeps the new space elevated. Check out how we pulled those colors in from the rug and the space to outfit the tree, mantle, and staircase. </p>
