5 Decorating Secrets about Furniture from Top Interior Designers:

Posted by

Using furniture to decorate a room is nothing short of a challenge, here are some tips that may help:

“Start your living room furniture plan with the best seat in the room and work from there.”
– DD ALLEN

“Never push furniture up against the walls. By pulling your seating arrangement in (Even just a few inches), you instantly warm up a space and create flow.”
– BETSY BURNHAM

“I have a lot of dogs, so I take the same fabric that’s on the sofa and make a blanket that covers almost its entire length. This way my dogs can lounge on the sofa, and I just take it off when I have guests.”
– CAROLYNE ROEHM

“When ordering fabric, add two yards to the final order. You never want to be stuck with a ruined cushion and a discontinued fabric on a piece of upholstery. Call it insurance against a rainy-red-wine day.”
– J. RANDALL POWERS

“Keep a minimum of 15” between coffee tables and sofas.”
– ALEXA HAMPTON
