A great decorating tip from Nate Berkus, (Oprah’s go-to décor guru):
“You find something – a candle, a vase, a bowl, anything – you bring it home and put it out in your house. Five years later, that item is still sitting in the same spot! By just rearranging your tabletops, you give an entirely new look to your room. Start by taking everything off the surfaces and putting it all on one table. Then, start putting it back in new ways. When you group the items differently, the entire room takes on a new energy.”
A great decorating tip from Mentos?
Everything is more interesting when grouped in threes. Have a growing collection of knick-knacks? Group like items together in interesting ways with the tallest placed in the center. Limit your groupings to no more than 5 items in one spot… otherwise you risk crossing the line of decoration and your accessories become visual clutter.
