Daily Dose: Different ways to use wallpaper

Last week I had lunch with a friend and she asked me to do a Daily Dose on different ways to use wallpaper. Kristi, this week is for you! Below is one of my favorite ways to use wallpaper; bring new life to a bookcase! You only need one ...roll of wallpaper for two bookcases, a very low cost treatment with high impact! Want an easy way to install it? Look for wallpaper that you can paste directly to the surface, is removable, or is adhesive.

Use as few, or as many pillows as you would like!

Daily Dose is about designing your entry

This week’s “Daily Dose” is about designing your entry. The entry of your home is one of the many workhorses in your home. It stores your everyday essentials and reflects who you or your family is, representing both form and function for ...your home. My tip for designing your entry is to take inspiration from function, then play up the form. This is the one space where you can really have fun, as this is usually a smaller space. The picture below highlights one of my favorite entry ways, alright; all of them this week are my favorite.

To round out this week's "Daily Dose" below is another great modern design option for a space designed with both masculine and feminine points of view. In this example, there are light colors with clean lined furniture; however, the furniture is softened with slipcovers. The bold graphics represent masculine appeal, while the metallic furniture infuses femininity.

Daily Dose examples of blending masculine and feminine

Below is one of my favorite examples of blending masculine and feminine into one design because it incorporates leather. Use brown or black leather in any design, and it will instantly transform the space. In addition, the brown sofa, exposed wood bookshelves, and plaid fabric on the chair evoke a true masculine point of view. The feminine point of view comes from the yellow walls and bright pops of color. Give it a try!

Daily Dose Designing a space that is both masculine and feminine.

This week's "Daily Dose" is about designing a space that is both masculine and feminine. I am often asked how to design a space that incorporates both masculine and feminine points of view, so the design is balanced and represents all dwellers of the space. The example below incorporates darker colors with geometric patterns, as well as a wood cocktail table. Darker tones and wood elements are considered building blocks of masculine design, while patterns and furniture with curved lines are considered feminine features.
