Todays tip for decorating your new home: Fight the urge to match! Retail stores love to perpetuate the fallacy that everything has to match. They would love for you to buy everything in sets, but dont do it! A few pieces with the same styling are fine, but any more than that and your home has the lifeless, generic look of a furniture showroom. Make sure your own personal style shows through, which most likely isnt bland, beige and boring. Top priority should be proportion, scale and balance of your furniture and accessories within each room. Dont shove five pieces of oversized lounge furniture into a 15x5 den that has a modest 8-foot ceiling. It will look like a clown car. Conversely, putting only a low buffet and a delicate, round dining table for four into a 20x30 room with a soaring 12-foot ceiling will look equally awkward and unsatisfying. (HGTV)
