Interior decorating and design is strictly subjective. It should be based on our own creativity, and if we fall short in that category, we can enlist the assistance of an accomplished professional. There are guidelines that we can use that others use and that have a proven track record. No need to memorize rules, or master the process. They will help you build a foundation to achieve the look you want for your home, or a specific room. Now just relax and allow your creativity to blossom. Here are some tips.

Lighting from natural sources varies widely and your furniture may reflect it to correspond better with another paint color or wall covering.

There is no right way to decorate a bathroom nowadays. Homeowners are choosing to follow their own instincts when it comes to selecting paint colors, wallpapers, and tiles.

With more glass you will actually want less hardware to cover it up. Frameless shower doors are popular for a reason.
