Need help with plant / decor advice for front entrance
Comments (8)Notice how Doug has removed the narrow planting beds near the door to create a generous entrance porch. I would also widen the walk out to the drive so the two people could walk abreast. Keep the plantings with only a few types of plants, including something bright (either foliage or flowers) flanking the entrance porch where it meets the walkway as Yardvaark’s suggested. That can be in pots or in the ground. You want large enough swaths of plants for most of the plantings so that so they will read well from the road as well as looking nice from the near view. Plantings should be low enough so that they don’t block the sight lines to the door and so folks on the sidewalk don’t feel like they have to try to avoid brushing up against encroaching plants....See MoreHome Office Decor Advice
Comments (10)Can you post a photo of the room? Do you want a dark or light background for the wallpaper? Are you considering the leaf wallpaper in the last photo? If you are looking for a dark background, I have this peel and stick wallpaper on an accent wall in my bedroom. I think it would go nicely with the items you have selected. I also have a very similar rug in the room with the wallpaper as well.

Comments (10)I would avoid going all tan & beige , murky, but instead pick up the white woodwork color and introduce some kind of pattern that is “ fresher” but with forest green, brown, white ( or bright ivory) & even a bit of another color, though not required. You can go light background with small amounts of darker colors , or dark background with bits of light/ bright. For me, I love florals, botanicals, but also checks, plaids, stripes. I’d search for fabrics that maybe have a leaf print, flower with stems, etc. I’m pretty traditional & your room colors make me think of “ British colonial, “ or tropical retreat , where white walls are often mixed with dark woods, bamboo, rattan, & and prints with greens & browns. white, hot pink. Or art prints that are similar. Or maybe a kind of riff on Ralph Lauren cabin plaids, but introduce that bit of white. But you could find same color palette in modern or funky prints. So, you may already know, you hate florals or plaids or whatever. I would spend some time searching online using color combinations for search. Maybe search artwork as well to see if something grabs you as a goal. You can also find pillow cases that are a solid color but trimmed in ribbon of another color—helpful for the print- averse. Like, white with dark green trim. This is also something simpler to consider if you use wall artwork, instead of bedding , to add the interest/ link the colors & contrasts better. I wouldn’t focus on “ throw pillows” for the bed. You’ll just have to toss them off every night, and where, in that room? I think they’re very Insta and very impractical. Except maybe ONE , if you find something that really perks up the look , and for a king bed, not too tiny. Instead I’d work toward substantial, firm/ plump king pillows as kind of the back bolster, and maybe large standard pillows in front. Actual shams ( not ruffle-y) that are zip or envelope give a neater look. But somewhat fewer options. I only use cotton for my “ face pillow “ cases but am ok with microfiber for a “ bolster “ pillow for propping up. Pillowcases and shams can get expensive when you go outside standard solid colors, but you might get lucky, or, if you find something you just love that “ makes “ the room, invest in a pair; your sheets can be simple white. Also would consider that layered puffy throw or blanket at foot of bed , but being brighter, whiter or print. That is also kinda Instagram- y and not practical if you get too hot at night. Look at a lot of photos and see different ways they’re folded—I like about 1/4 - 1/3 of bed, try to avoid something droopy and wrinkly and a pain to keep arranged, or it’d be better to have a smooth neat bed cover alone. The reason to think in multiple options is, you might find the perfect throw/ quilt but less in pillow cases, or vice versa, or make choices based on what combination works best together....See MoreWall Decor Advice
Comments (14)Why did you put the TV above the FP you have walls either one which would have been better and also would have filled a wall with no need for anything else there .Add a mantel the the mantel could then have some decor you love. I do not think tree branches are an ideal choice. for wall art but IMO art is chosen because you love it not for any othe reason. I would start with a new rug if you want some color . The chairs need to be on the rug at least the front legs to make the chairs part of the space ....See Moregroveraxle
