There are so many things I can’t live without when styling a home but my top three are:
Pillows- I’m obsessed with pillows! They are so easy to change out! If you really want to add color but you are fearful of something permanent this is your way to express some bold color choices! It is a great way to play with patterns and texture. If your not sure how.. just remember that you want to keep the room cohesive with your color choices so pick out pillows with mixed saturations of your colors to give your room dimension. Designing your space is about having fun and expressing you!
Plants- Do you ever look at a space and feel that it’s empty or lifeless? It is probably because it doesn’t have plants! Try adding real or artificial plants to empty corners to fill them up! They look great styled in bookcases, it really breaks up the look of frames, books, and objects. I prefer to use real plants whenever possible (think about how much they clean the air!) but if that is not possible or you feel you have a black thumb they have great faux options!
Books- Major score is the Dollar Store! They have hard cover books in all colors and its the cheapest way to make your shelves look complete! Find some fun book stoppers for the ends and add sentimental items!
