Pattern Play

Kick things up a notch by adding some fun patterns to your home decor. Pick a theme like Aztec or tribal, or mix things up and mix-and-match your patterns. Polka dots and stripes, anyone?

Patterns are a great way to add some texture and depth to your color scheme without overwhelming the space. Add in some fun throw pillows, put out some new linens, or switch up your curtains. No matter what you decide to do, patterns are an easy way to change the look of an entire room without the added cost of hiring a decorator.

Floral Infusion

Nothing says summer like bold bouquets of flowers. Great for filling in sparse corners and perfect for adding some color to accent tables, plants are an easy way to create your own little oasis, no matter where you live.
