Step three to a beautiful home is the furnishings.
This picture shows a handsome dining room set with a metal hutch
and buffet. Furniture that is functional and good looking
should be our main objective when buying furniture. This room
displays both. Also, this one dining room space demonstrates
the eight steps you are reading about. Imagine this room with
one or two elements missing. It would not be near as lovely
and would feel incomplete. You might not realize what’s wrong, but
hopefully with your new knowledge you will begin to recognize what
is needed and can transfer that information to your home.
Follow me through the eight steps of this dining room.
Notice the wonderful hardwood floors and area rug,
step # 1 Flooring. Next the walls have a warm beige faux paint technique
applied for a rich backdrop to the room, step # 2 Walls/Trim/Molding.
The furniture is beautiful, functional and a necessary element to
any room, step #3 Furniture. Next the windows have been treated
with wooden shutters painted to match the architectural trim in
the room, step #4 Window Treatment/Bedding/Accent Pillows- whichever
is applicable. Natural light from the windows is pouring in, but
I’m sure in the actual room setting there would be a lovely chandelier
or spot lighting from above, step #5 Lighting. A handsome pair of
pictures is hung vertically on an empty wall. This adds additional
personality, color and fills the void of a blank wall, step #6 Artwork.
Accessories fill the hutch with added functional and decorative
items, which provides additional color, charm and charisma to the
room, step # 7 Accessories. Finally, last but not least is the addition
of plants and florals to the room. Notice the beautiful bouquet
of flowers on the table, topiary on the hutch and the palm tree
in the corner. All add a crowning touch to the décor of this dining
room, step #8 Greenery/florals.
