Know your Style

Know your style, and be comfortable with it by avoiding these common faux pas:

• Overwhelming patterns: a bold pattern on your walls, furniture, and curtains means that a subdued rug pattern is often the best bet.
• Everything matches: if every last pillow is the same shade of beige, try mixing in a variety of hues. Experiement with a throw pillow to start, if you’re nervous about the change.
• Nothing matches: pick your favorite color in the room, and give your space some focus with a simple area rug in that favorite hue.
