I don&#8217;t have any formal interior design training, per se, but I grew up in beautiful homes created by my interior-designer mother and my artist father, so I am able to visualize things really well. I&#8217;m always &#8220;mentally remodeling&#8221; spaces<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I love a taller coffee table between 22\u2019 and 24\u201d high. It makes a room look more interesting and is really more functional than a low table.\u00a0 Cut down a small dining table and lacquer it a beautiful color! <strong>I like a taller coffee table, too.\u00a0 It beats having to stoop down to pick up a drink or snacks.\u00a0 Any other neat suggestions for adding interest to a room?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MY-<em>Personal collections add a lot of interest to a house. I encourage clients to collect something that speaks to them&#8230;it makes their house feel like a home. A good designer can interpret &#8211; not lose &#8211; a client&#8217;s personal style&#8230;just make it better!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Consider the entire composition of ceiling, walls, trim and floor when choosing a color scheme. Sometimes, painting trim a glossier version of the wall color can give a room a welcome, more contemporary feel, and make your ceilings look taller.\u00a0 Even with a contrast trim, I often paint baseboards wall color to avoid a distracting horizontal band between floor and wall.\u00a0 Conversely, black baseboard, as seen in historic houses like Mt. Vernon, can anchor a room with dark floors and feel correct in a traditional home.\u00a0 I always love blue ceilings; instant sky!<strong> Is that blue porch ceiling a \u201cSouthern\u201d thing? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MY-<em>Yes, that is the origin in this country. People believed that a &#8220;haint blue&#8221; ceiling repelled everything from evil spirit to bugs! My favorite versions of this, lightest to darkest, are Benjamin Moore&#8217;s quiet moments, Wyeth blue, and Stratton Blue<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My biggest paint selection challenge came with finding the \u201cright\u201d yellow for a room with morning sunlight exposure.\u00a0 The color changed with the time of day and differed from wall to wall.\u00a0 Any advice on how to solve that kind of paint problem?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MY-<\/strong><em>Yellow is actually a very touchy color. Paint selection can involve a lot of trial and error! You need to put huge swatches up and live with them for a few days. It also depends a lot on which part of the country you live in&#8230;.light quality varies tremendously. My favorite white in Texas would never work in California or Montana<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get too caught up with adding decorative details to everything in a room. If you leave some things plain and simple, the areas where you do add trim or special details will have more impact, and the room won\u2019t feel over-decorated or busy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6346 size-full\" title=\"main-Megan Yager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/main-Megan-Yager.jpg\" alt=\"Megan Yager interior design on casartblog\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/main-Megan-Yager.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/main-Megan-Yager-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Changing out pillows and throws seasonally can be a simple way to make a room feel fresh and appropriate.\u00a0 My absolute favorites are silk tiger velvet and cashmere for the winter, and fresh Fortuny prints and beautifully colored plain linen in the summer.\u00a0 <strong>Promise you won\u2019t laugh.\u00a0 In addition to slipcovers and simplifying for summer, I rearrange all of the furniture in the living room because I don\u2019t want to look at the fireplace during hot weather!\u00a0 Is that too extreme?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MY<strong>&#8211;<\/strong><em>No! I love it when people take an interest in their houses&#8230;it depresses me to think of living in an unpleasant space! How a room is put together can really have a big impact on how it feels to live there.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Custom lined and interlined curtains are worth the expense. My favorite is inverted pleat panels hung on simple rods mounted as near the ceiling as you can get to emphasize height.\u00a0 They should break ever so slightly on the floor.\u00a0 <strong>Since drapes can be quite expensive, do you think a solid color is a safer selection over a pattern to achieve longer use?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MY- <em>I think a solid linen or silk curtain in a favorite color can have the most longevity. That being said if one has a confident eye, a fabulous print can add a ton of personality to a space!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>An over-scaled piece of art in a traditional room can keep it from looking too granny-ish (although, for the record, my own grandma is very stylish!) I often paint my own contemporary large canvases with sample wall color pots and scraps of wallpaper and fabrics.\u00a0 <strong>I like the idea of really personalizing the art.\u00a0 I\u2019d suggest using <a title=\"Casart-coverings\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casart wallcovering <\/a>scraps since they are easily repositionable when applying, can be removed without leaving a residue behind, and can be rolled on the backing sheet and reused later.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have a custom monogram designed and have it embroidered as large as possible in your favorite colors on plain white sheets and towels.\u00a0 The scale makes it feel more graphic and young, yet still appealingly traditional.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6345 size-full\" title=\"main (2)-Megan Yager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/main-2-Megan-Yager.jpg\" alt=\"MY interior design bedroom on casartblog\" width=\"445\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/main-2-Megan-Yager.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/main-2-Megan-Yager-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Create a chic bar on a beautiful side table or cart and be ready for a party at a moment\u2019s notice.\u00a0 Arrange a vignette of attractive bottles and whimsical bar accessories on a lacquered tray.\u00a0 I have so much fun collecting vintage embroidered cocktail napkins, which I have in every motif imaginable!\u00a0 <strong>What a great conversation topic at a party!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are some great, stylish, and well-priced things available for the home from mass retailers.\u00a0 Make sure that you don\u2019t end up with a room that looks like last season\u2019s window display, or just like everyone else\u2019s room!
