How great is it to have the options of design, color, style and shape! When seasons roll around, so does the change of styles. Whether it be clothes, cars or furniture, changes are on the move.
The options you have with decorating are endless. Popping a contemporary chair with your grandmother’s armoire… don’t be afraid to mix your woods and styles in the same room. You are not married to any wood color.
Another way to pop color in the room is with your selection of paint. A fun and funky ottoman with a different shape such as round or octagon will add dimension.
Another way to add pizazz to your room is through a great rug or prints. Lamps are a great fashion statement for a room, too. They can be tall, short, wide, narrow, gold, silver, and on and on.
So start putting your thoughts together, making choices and stop in Ford’s so we can help you pull it together.
