Feeling stuck in life or work can be challenging, especially when you don’t have someone to turn to for advice. Working alone from home can sometimes make you miss having a colleague to bounce ideas off of. This is why I decided to extend a helping hand to those who need assistance in their decorating endeavors. I reached out to the EHD community on Instagram and The Link Up to offer my expertise in completing any rooms that needed a finishing touch. Just like seeking advice in professional or personal matters, sometimes a fresh perspective can make all the difference.
Enhancing Your Space
One reader, Caitlin, reached out for help with her living space, specifically needing a new rug and chairs for the window area. Upon reviewing the image she sent, I noticed that the current rug was not oriented correctly and was not the right size for the space. To bring balance and a modern touch to the room, I recommended a larger rug in a more graphic or punchy design. I provided options for both colorful and neutral rugs that would complement the existing furniture and enhance the overall aesthetic of the room.
For those looking to add a bold art piece to their space, I suggested various options that would suit different styles and color palettes. From landscapes to abstract prints, I recommended pieces that would add visual interest and complement the existing decor. Art is subjective, so I encouraged readers to choose pieces that resonate with them personally.
Personalizing Your Space
Jen, another reader, sought advice on upgrading her curtains to enhance the look of her space. I recommended opting for curtains that are lighter in color to brighten up the room and create a more cohesive look. I provided options for both solid and patterned curtains that would add a touch of elegance and style to the windows.
Lastly, Jenna reached out for help in selecting new light fixtures for her home. I emphasized the importance of choosing fixtures that complement each other while still maintaining a unique identity in each room. From flush mounts to chandeliers, I suggested options that would bring warmth and character to the space.
If any of the readers find these suggestions helpful, I encourage them to give them a try and share their experiences with the EHD community. Stay tuned for more design prompts and updates in the future!
