The most common decorating mistake I see with my clients and friends is not putting a room together in the right order. If I were able to design each piece in the room, it would be much easier. Since I usually have to work within budgets and pre-made items, order is very important in making a room come together.
First, start with your main piece- the sofa. This will set the tone for the whole room.
Second, select your textiles in the rug and window treatments. Choose complimentary colors and a design that will separate the furniture from the floor.
Next, choose your accent furniture such as chairs, chaise lounges and large ottomans.
Then select your accent tables including a coffee table, end tables and side tables.
Finally, tie the room together with accessories, lighting, photos and artwork.
