Designing a room: basic rules

Designing a room can be a gift for some, but a real nightmare for many others.
If you’re just like me and belong to the nightmare group, you should know that we’re probably just overthinking the whole thing! And in the end we just hate the result...

That’s why I always follow some basic rules when designing a room or an entire house!

Pick a neutral color. Black and White are the most common ones, but nowadays grey is a viable option. Go crazy with that neutral one!

Pick a second color. It should be a contrasting one and the livelier the better! This color will bring life and fun to the room and you should apply it in the little details.

Choose something that relates to you. A photo, a painting, a collection of quirky objects will help you define the room as your own.

Remember that less is more! So, in the end, if it seems like something is missing, try taking something out instead. You might be amazed with the result.
