It can sometimes be a daunting task the idea of decorating the home or office. We all like to think we are up for the challenge of it and for some of us, we are. But if you feel you need help you are not alone. I think the majority of us don't even know where to begin!

The secret may lie on your walls! Your favorite painting or art prints! If you were to hire a designer to come to your space, he or she may ask you what you have in your home (or office) that you really like and why. This is to get a feel for your style and color. If you are attempting to create on your own, looking at your art prints can be a great place to start!

Choosing the right colors for a wall is sometimes the most difficult. Dark colors often make a room look too small. Creating one wall dark with the others a little lighter will often do the trick. This dark color can also become the accent colors.

Over the years, one's sense of style can change. This can come about for many different reasons. It can come about from a favorite trip where the culture and style is different from our own. Bringing home some new pieces can inspire us into a new direction.

When you are redesigning a space, being a little eclectic can really enhance a space. It doesn't mean you want to have everything mismatch; only one or two key pieces will do just nicely. Everything the same can be somewhat boring.

Color and Style are so vital to design, that you can't have one without the other. I've recommended using art prints as inspiration but really you can use just about anything to inspire you to create the environment you want to be in.

Good luck!
