Easy Celebrity Design Tips
- A rule of thumb for choosing the right dining table size is to allow for at least 30 inches around all sides to allow walking by on all sides
Leaving enough space on all sides allows guests to walk around comfortably - Mirrors are a great design tool to attract more natural light into the room. Additionally, they give the room the appearance of being larger
- Experiment with bright, bold front door colors. This is a fun way to add a pop of color and brighten up your entryway
A bold door accents any front entryway - Dimmer switches as opposed to regular on-off switches are a great way to add ambiance to a room, as well as control energy consumption
