Guidance came from our dearest mothers to our well-intentioned friends. But what happens when playing it safe means sacrificing that beautiful pewter water pitcher, because it would \u201cclash\u201d with the bronze picture frame in your foyer?\n\nWhile these decorating rules have served us well over the years, it\u2019s 2016 and high time to throw some of these old traditions out the window.\n\nEmbrace experimentation, and don\u2019t be afraid to break the rules!

Every room needs a rug<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Small_rooms_small_furniture\"><\/span>1. Small rooms = small furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nYou would think that filling a small room with proportionally small furniture would create the illusion of space, but it doesn\u2019t work! It might seem counterintuitive, but throwing in a larger piece of furniture can actually open up the space. Having a couple pieces of mix-sized furniture can make the room feel cozy rather than cluttered.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1317\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Oversized-bed.jpg\" alt=\"A small room does NOT mean you need small furniture\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_One_accent_pattern_per_room\"><\/span>2. One accent pattern per room<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nPatterns can add interest to any room, but it\u2019s plain untrue that you should limit a room to a single pattern. Adding patterns to your throw pillows or cabinet doors can add character and bring the room to life. To keep from overstimulating the senses, choose patterns that carry one or two of the same colors throughout to pull everything together.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1319\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Accent-patterns.jpg\" alt=\"Why have one accent pattern when you could have three?\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_White_ceilings\"><\/span>3. White ceilings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhy do ceilings have to be so bare bones? Don\u2019t let your ceiling miss out on all the fun\u2014accent it! If you don\u2019t want to stray too far, use colors within the same color family. Paint the ceiling with a color that\u2019s just a few shades lighter than the walls to add dimension. Alternatively, if the room feels too drab, go for the playful route with a bolder color.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Stick_to_one_style_of_furniture\"><\/span>4. Stick to one style of furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhile we aren\u2019t advising that you just plop a giant <i>Game of Thrones<\/i>-style throne into the middle of a metal and glass condo, mingling multiple styles of furniture can make a room feel more organic. Combining thrifty vintage treasures with some modern finds generates intrigue and can lead to some stunning results.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Matching_dining_room_chairs\"><\/span>5. Matching dining room chairs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nCohesion shmohesion! If your living room can have a mix of sofas, love seats, and armchairs, why does your dining room have to have uniform chairs? Having two different, but complimentary, sets of chairs won\u2019t create dining room dysphoria. A simple way to add character is to sub in different styles of chairs while maintaining the same size all around the dining table.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1320\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Mismatched-dining-chairs.jpg\" alt=\"Mix up your dining table chairs to add interest to a room\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Avoid_monochromatic_rooms\"><\/span>6. Avoid monochromatic rooms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThey say that all-white-rooms are boring, when in fact that they can be some of the most inviting and peaceful rooms in a house. You can keep the same color throughout the space, but play with different textures and fabrics to keep the area from looking flat. If a room feels dull, it\u2019s probably a matter of furniture selection and not color.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Wallpaper_should_stay_on_the_walls\"><\/span>7. Wallpaper should stay on the walls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nDecorative wallpaper is an easy way to make a statement. We can\u2019t deny that it looks awesome as part of an accent wall, but why limit it to just the wall? Mix it up by papering your bed\u2019s headboard, the back of a book shelf. For an especially stunning print, try putting it in a frame and hang it like a painting.

Window treatments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nFrom frosted glass to Gatsby-style billowing drapes, many decorators believe that you MUST have some sort of window treatment. But why cover something that doesn\u2019t need to be covered? Nowadays large open windows are one of the best selling points of a house. Embrace the light and try going without window treatments altogether in your kitchen.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1323\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bare-windows.jpg\" alt=\"Bare windows let more light in, AND they look good!\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Every_room_needs_a_rug\"><\/span>9. Every room needs a rug<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThey say that rugs do well for anchoring a room, but it shouldn\u2019t be a golden rule that\u2019ll end up dragging you down. Especially during the summer months, a thick rug can trap excess warmth. To open up the space and keep the heat at bay in the summer, roll up your carpet and throw it in storage for a couple months. It\u2019s a simple way to renew and refresh a room without too much work.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1322\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Rugless-room.jpg\" alt=\"See?
