When decorating your living room, be sure to consider the architectural features you want to highlight. This living room, designed by Leah Alexander of Beauty is Abundant, makes the most of large windows and a stunning fireplace. Texas houses come in all shapes and sizes, they are not a one size fits all type of home, in most instances. Wrap-around porches, large windows, both one and two-story, along with other architectural features such as exposed beams are common to most areas of Texas. If you are purchasing a new build, many builders offer some unique features. Austin has many unique residences and some even have white limestone floors, which are exquisite as well as durable.
- Decorating in a minimalist manner takes on a “less is more” mindset.
- If an older piece no longer suits your space, consider whether you could revamp it.

The most effective interiors develop personalities based on lighting, fabrics, furnishings, and color. But before you select a color, consider the function of the room and how the color makes you feel. To bring a nautical touch to your home this summer, highlight something (anything!) in a rich navy blue color. That could be upholstery, like the dining bench in this space designed by Ashley Montgomery. There’s no gallery wall rule book that says the pieces you hang have to stay there forever. In fact, switching out the artwork seasonally creates a fresh, ever-changing feel.
Bring in Soft Elements
Take a peek under your staircase, and look for walls and corners that are completely empty. By maximizing these neglected spots, you can increase the efficiency of your home by a lot with very little effort. Dining room chairs typically come in matching sets, but if you’d prefer something more dynamic, you can piece together a set of your own. Or, combine two different sets, using one along the sides of your dining room table and accent chairs at the ends. Should you swap your ceiling light with a modern chandelier, or build in a couple of bedside sconces?
- A full-length flax bed skirt in beige or natural along with lots of bed pillows dressed in a variety of pillow shams is a timeless country look that goes well with most interior styles.
