How to Decorate Spaces for People

When it comes to decorating your home, forget about the empty, lifeless rooms you see in interior design magazines and books. Instead, you should concentrate on designing all of the rooms in your home as backdrops for the people who will be living in those spaces.

Here are a few simple techniques for designing dynamic spaces: Don\'t be afraid to leave some empty spaces in your rooms. Empty space allows for breathing room and lets the most important items in the room shine -- the people who live there! Avoid large patterns in your fabrics and wallpapers. As a general rule, use no designs larger than your palm, because they will interfere with the appearance of people in the room. Using smaller patterns on walls and furniture will mean that friends and family won\'t have to compete with bold patterns for attention. Use paint colors that complement people\'s skin and eye colors. For light skin colors, use yellows, pinks, and beiges. For darker complexions, yellows, olives, and tans can make people look great. Use textures that stimulate the sense of touch. Look for textures that are nice to caress, such as velvet, chenille, or satin. They\'ll create a feeling of being pampered. Always choose comfort over pretense. Just because a sofa looks great doesn\'t mean it\'s comfortable. When you visit a showroom, remember that in order to truly test a piece of furniture, you need to sit on it for awhile, until you feel totally rested. Only then will can you get a realistic feel for its support and comfort level. Your home is meant to be a place for people, and if you always keep yourself, your family, and your guests in mind, you\'ll be well on your way to designing spaces that will be more comfortable and emotionally appealing than the staged photos you see in magazines and books.
