Ask yourself this: "What do I want my home to feel like when I walk into the door?" Do I want it to be a quiet oasis with soothing color palettes? This can be achieved by layering multiple patterns in fabrics and soft luscious carpets. The soft surfaces not only absorb irritating noise, but also insulate the interior space. What's more soothing than kicking off your shoes and wiggling your toes in the soft carpet.
Once a strong trend, but now a classic, it's time to introduce your floors to chocolate. It's as powerful as black, but much more versatile. Chocolate is rich, silky and psychologically appetizing and it comes in numerous shades. Keep chocolate around for good, but swap out accent colors aqua, pink, maroon, magenta, bright orange, spa blue when you're ready for a change.
