HOW TO: successfully break conventional design rules

Stay tuned, each week Lynn Henchman will share easy and stylish tips and ideas to improve your home decor!  

How to successfully break conventional design rules:

·         Contrary to popular belief, sometimes filling a smaller room with larger scale furniture does in fact give it the illusion of being bigger.

·         You can expand a small space by adding level changes giving it more optical dimension.

·         A narrow staircase can be given drama and depth with recessed lighting running down each side of the staircase, making it almost sculptural.

·         Floor to ceiling doors can add height to rooms, and making the doors wider than average can give the rooms the illusion of being much larger.

·         You CAN paint a room dark if you add decorative dramatic lighting and sharp accents in furniture, rugs and art.
