1. When deciding where to put objects in a book shelf, display images in the most unlikely places to add quirkiness and make the whole cabinet more interesting to look at.
2. Learn the difference between matching colours and complimentary colours. Using complimentary colours makes a world of difference to simple designs. For example, the blue and brown used in this image.
3. If you are creating a feature bookshelf, use thin wood pieces to change the entire look. Surprisingly this shares the focus between the wood shelves and the pieces displayed. They tend to compliment one another rather than detract.
4. As we have said many times, repurposing antiques and older décor pieces revamps them as well as giving you the chance to create a piece that fits your home perfectly.
5.Add the unexpected. Nothing adds some spice like the unexpected.
6. Use architectural oddities in your home into art. Add décor pieces to make it looks fun and different.
7. Add layers to create depth in your home. This can be used on beds, like the image below, or on couches or even walls.
