8 Top Takeaway Tips: The Dining Parlour
1. Look to historic inspirations like an antique rug as the jumping off point for your room design.
2. Surround yourself with things that make you happy. When it comes to cheery and fun design, colour is where it's at!
3. Painting is the easiest way to completely transform your space.
4. Vertical stripes say traditional style, but painterly horizontal stripes are a fresh twist for old meets new.
5. Sometimes creativity is born out of necessity. Think of design challenges as opportunities.
6. Work with what you've got and make it the best it can possibly be!
7. Think of your room as a collection of experiences and create multiple furniture groupings.
8. Bring your room to life with one-of-a-kind artworks.
